"A business is a living organism," he says. "I'm fascinated by the interactive nature of organizational change within dynamic companies. I see my role as assisting people to realize their individual ideals while clarifying the corporation's visions. Ultimately, we look for shifts in understanding and the channeling of energy, at all levels within the company."
