CEO, industrial equipment company

Situation

Too stretched to think strategically, with initiatives moving slowly.

Four clear priorities, two acted on within days. After AI training, the CEO built incentive plans and 30/60/90-day goals for two new hires in about three hours.

“It wouldn’t have gotten done without AI.”CEO

Situation

A new leadership team with no clear priorities, still doing their old jobs.

A direction launched to the whole company, and executives freed up to lead it.

A leadership team stretched thin, doing too much at once.

Clear priorities, clear owners, and a rhythm for getting work done.

About

Founder, JLC · Austin

Why I do this.

I love turning vision into reality: solving problems and building things that make people’s lives better. My purpose is helping people become more capable of doing meaningful work themselves.

How I got here.

I’ve spent 12 years helping leaders close the gap, first as a consultant advising from the outside, then as an operator building from the inside. Along the way, I learned that systems and people have to change together.
