Norm guided me through a process of reorganizing my department in a way that engaged and energized the whole team. In many ways, I attribute much of my success as a manager to the lesssons that I learned from him. I learned through the insight he shared and coaching that he was truly interested in my success.

Executive Coaching – Non-Profit
The CFO of a not for profit company left the company at a critical time. The company had been developing an enabling technology, which they planned to introduce as a profit driven part of their business. Due to the sensitive nature of such an investment, the CFO was one the restricted group of key contributors from the executive team which had been working on the strategy since its inception. As a result, very little information was able to be shared with people in the finance organization. And, since the CFO had not developed a successor as a priority, there was no one who could step in to fill the void. The Director of Finance had been hired by the exiting CFO less than a year earlier with the expressed expectation that he was being hired as the CFO’s successor. The President of the company was confident in the Director’s ability, but struggled with the thought that he was not seasoned enough at that point to take on the leadership role, especially with the additional demands of the for profit strategy, which was viewed by the Board of Directors as a critical path objective. With considerable thought and counsel from the board and others, he decided to ove forward with a conditional plan to promote the Director based on demonstrated performance and commitment to development plan. ma
Performance exceeded expectations, which included earlier than expected involvement and contribution by Director in the, for profit venture and promotion to CFO within the year. Early demonstration of increased confidence and presence in communicating at the board level was a key accomplishment.
