A Few Questions I’m Asked…Before our Mission Begins?
What Is an EOS Implementer? An EOS Implementer is a deeply trained expert who teaches organizations a complete and practical set of tools designed to strengthen six core business areas: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. The Implementer’s role is threefold: Teacher: Delivers EOS tools in their purest form, ensuring the leadership team understands not just how, but why each tool works. Facilitator: Orchestrates open, honest dialogue, drawing out truth, managing healthy conflict, and ensuring the team stays aligned and accountable. Coach: Shines a light on patterns, avoidance, and missed commitments, guiding teams to breakthrough self-awareness and long-term success. Rather than telling leaders what to do, an EOS Implementer creates the conditions for deep learning and ownership, so the organization thrives on EOS long after the engagement ends. So, You’re Not a Consultant?” An EOS Implementer stands apart from a consultant. They are a teacher, facilitator, and coach whose mission is to empower leadership teams
ADHD, EOS, and the Art of Staying Sane: Lessons from CCi Voice’s Michael LeBlanc
“Being local means we can show up – cable in the ceiling, training at the desk, trust in person.” – Michael LeBlanc On Halloween, I sat down with my first EOS client – and best client (standing joke) Michael T. H. LeBlanc Founder & Visionary of CCi Voice. You can watch the entire episode here. 3 journeys (hero’s, entrepreneur’s, EOS) all told by the sweet talking LeBlanc. But it wasn’t always sweet talking and smooth sailing. We discussed hitting rock bottom and deciding to build a foundation on it, about transforming chaos into clarity, and about rediscovering joy in leadership. Michael’s story is the perfect metaphor for the entrepreneurial condition: the never-ending dance between ambition and anxiety, vision and discipline, heart and habit. In our conversation, we explored everything from near-bankruptcy to rebirth, from stuttering to public speaking, from the limits of working alone to the liberation of structure.

The Hard Truths I Learned Selling My Family’s Business
In 2020, right before the pandemic, my family sold our business, a travel technology company my father had founded decades earlier. On paper, it was a success. The brand was respected, the industry trusted us, and the sale gave us a sense of relief after years of uncertainty. But behind the scenes, it didn’t feel like success. The process was backwards, unfinished, and exhausting. The sale was motivated by a challenged succession plan, a transition from my father, the founder, to the next generation. Expectations weren’t aligned, and communication broke down long before the transaction. My father saw the business as a responsibility. The rest of us saw it as an opportunity to create something new. We were speaking two different languages. It was a classic family transition story: a lifestyle business deeply dependent on the founder, run by feel, and built on relationships and reputation more than process or
If You’re All Wrong, You’re Alright: What Football Taught Me About EOS Teams
When I played football at Muhlenberg College, our head coach, Mike Donnelly, used to say something I’ll never forget: “If you’re all wrong, you’re alright.” It sounded strange at first, but over time I came to understand what he meant. If all eleven players on defense are running the same play, even if it’s the wrong one, you’ll probably be fine. The real breakdowns happen when half the team is doing one thing and the other half is doing another. That’s when a gap opens up and a running back finds daylight. That’s when a receiver slips into an uncovered zone for an easy catch and a big play. Football taught me that alignment beats perfection every time. A team that moves together, even imperfectly, is far stronger than a team full of talented individuals moving in different directions. Why Most Teams Plateau Most leadership teams I work with
Don’t Play the “Family Card” at Work
Family businesses can be incredible. Built on legacy, trust, and shared values, they have the potential to thrive for generations. But there’s one thing that can sink even the strongest family-run company: a family member acting like they’re above the rules. It happens all too often. A family member working in the business as an employee disagrees with leadership and starts voicing those frustrations to colleagues. They don’t act like an employee—they act like a special case, using their family status as a free pass to undermine authority. And once that kind of talk starts, it spreads like wildfire. Stay in Your Seat If you’re in the business, yo’re in a seat. Maybe it’s payroll, maybe it’s operations, maybe it’s customer service. Whatever it is, that’s your lane. Your job is to add value where you’re assigned—not to armchair quarterback every leadership decision. Yes, you might have strong opinions. And
