Why choose Lazarus?
Leadership &
Career Coaching:
I focus development on the whole person and strive to help individuals discover and develop their best selves.
Organizational Development & Design:
Many organizations react in the
moment and don't invest enough time and thought into how to build their organization for the future. I help organizations align their organization design and development investments with their business strategy and vision. I help put in place the succession planning and development process that is flexible enough to change and business goals may change.
Team
Development:
I provide structured team development process that builds on the concepts of Results, Accountability, Commitment, Conflict and Trust.
Employee
Engagement:
I help organizations put in place effective engagement surveys and metrics coupled with action plans that improve those metrics. My approach is to teach leaders how to view every employee interaction as a touchpoint that shapes culture and results, rather than an interruption of their day.
