At The Banff Centre, we believe that the three basic requirements of successful leadership are knowledge, competency and character. Based on the most current research (1) some of the most successful leaders consistently apply all three of these areas of expertise in order to make them highly effective.
As an experienced entrepreneur and business leader, I have successfully acquired, developed, operated, and sold a number of businesses in the oil and gas, manufacturing, export, and knowledge industries. I have held numerous leadership positions throughout my career and consider myself a continuous and intense student of leadership.
My intention is to continue to explore new ideas, possibilities and create new solutions to complex and sometimes intractable challenges as I migrate from business leader to astute observer, commentator and thought leader to Artist. I am extremely interested in doing my part to leave the world far better than I found it.
Creativity and innovation are a couple of my key drivers and I am of the firm belief that better is always possible.
