Welcome to Great Island Consulting

For over 25 years I have been the primary practitioner and owner of Great Island Consulting. Currently I am transitioning from an Organization Development and Strategic Culture Change practice to focus on coaching teams and individuals serving clients in large and medium sized organizations, as well as small businesses, and the education sector.

What I Do

Provide practical, “real-world,” 1:1 coaching to clients interested in accelerating their personal and professional development to become extraordinary leaders.
Help leaders create the kind of teams necessary to achieve superior results by leveraging diverse perspectives, building a culture of ownership, trust, and collaboration.
Selecting from a wide variety of proven frameworks those that will rapidly build effective teams and outstanding personal leadership.
Where possible, utilize direct observation of individuals or teams in their work environment providing “in the moment feedback” that is evidence based.

What’s Unique About Working with Me (Client responses)

Focuses on the whole person with attention to both professional and personal development that reaches beyond the “office.”
Brings expertise from a broad array of client engagements, spanning over 35 years, across multiple industries, and cross-cultural/global perspectives.
Offers a unique blend of supportive, challenging, and rich feedback that is customized, pragmatic, user-friendly and integrates with the Organization’s culture and values.
Creates a safe environment that meets people where they are setting the stage for authenticity, trust, and vulnerability.
Has a comprehensive understanding of how the larger Organization/System impacts the person and how that constrains or supports their development.
A coach that recognizes and builds on an individual’s strengths, while helping them discover ways to overcome the undeveloped parts of themselves.
Always links business deliverables with personal growth outcomes.
