Edward Albe, MBA's Linkedin Analytics

As a "business therapist" I utilize psychological principles and insights to help organizations and individuals - as an executive coach - in a workplace setting to improve their performance, well-being, and overall effectiveness. I specialize in identifying and resolving issues that hinder an organization's growth, performance, and overall well-being. Trained in the Grenier Growth Model, I've worked with companies large and small to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide variety of business-related issues to help them reach their full potential. Inspiring people to do the things that inspire themselves, enhancing corporate performance, and the occasional “turnaround” have been my greatest strengths. I provide strategic guidance, leadership counsel, and operational insights to help technology & industrial B2B companies achieve commercial and operational success, foster team alignment, and fulfill their growth initiatives. I've specialized in change management by identifying and resolving issues that hinder an organization's growth, performance, and overall well-being.
