2. • I believe that humans are at their very best when in community,
working together for the common good and having fun along the way.
• Sometimes, work or environment stress get in the way of this – or
maybe people just don’t have the tools to solve problems together.
• My purpose in life is to help people thrive together in community.
• Why the Japanese character ‘Ki’ in my logo?
• Ki (or chi) is all about flow, and is central to who I am. When working
with my clients I am helping them to flow their processes, materials,
as individuals and as a team. For my personal development I am
working on flow between my heart and head.
• I embrace continuous improvement philosophies. I learned them in
Japan 20+ years ago, and have been practicing ever since. The
‘Ki’ in my logo comes from the Japanese Katakana character set,
specifically reserved for foreign words or people.

3. • Everything I do is grounded in theory. I draw from engineering,
business management, continuous improvement, organizational
dynamics and coaching – with masters level qualifications in each.
• My work is in the practical application of theory and teaching the
tools, analyzing complex issues and making peoples’ lives easier.
• My home is at the ‘Gemba’ – the Japanese term for ‘real place’ or
where the work gets done, with the people who do it. I do not
preach solutions from a vacuum.
• I have built many incredible teams and performed a solo business
turn around in my role as Plant Manager in Puerto Rico.
• I have been leading and building passionate teams for 25 years.
my experience...

4. • At the core of everything I do are results.
• By bringing my three unique areas of expertise together, I can
deliver to my clients optimum business performance using one
service provider.
• I work hard to provide my clients with tools and skills throughout my
engagement, so they continue to grow and succeed independently.
• I work with humility, engaging the strengths, wisdom and experience
of my clients.
what I do...

5. • Any series of steps or actions taken to do something is a process. Systems are used
to automate and control our processes (or parts of them).
• First I need to understand exactly what is (or is not) going on. This is done by walking
the process and its associated systems from end to end, at the ‘Gemba’ – with the people
who are doing the work. The current reality is determined without prejudice or
preconceived solutions.
• Every piece of data available is used to determine the baseline performance. The process is
analyzed, problem solved and optimized, finally an action plan is developed and executed.
• This work is best done with a team of people who use the process or its outputs –
capturing their ideas and incorporating them in the end result.
how it works...
Processes and Systems
• It is widely understood that the way to get the most out of people is to have them
working together in teams, harnessing the power of the collective whole.
• It is generally not understood that people need to be trained to work as a team, and
they need specific tools and skills to succeed.
• It is possible to gather data to determine the baseline performance of any team. This
can be via interviews, meeting observation, or using group process evaluation tools.
• I design unique interventions to deliver training and to build trust, essential for any
team to truly excel. The results of these interventions are that teams achieve the skills
and desire to work in concert together.
Teams and Leadership
• I work closely with individual executives on their leadership and effectiveness within
their teams.
• First I gather objective data to help the executives understand how
effective their current leadership behaviors are. This can be via interviews, meeting
observation, and using evaluation tools such as 360 feedback assessment and
personality typing.
• I conduct individual coaching sessions which are designed to help build new skills and
approaches, help explore new perspectives and deliver great results for the executive.

10. Teams and Leadership
"Eli facilitated a recent day long session intended to on-board our new members and lay the ground-
work for the collective and individual guidance the Board of Directors will provide as we face the chal-
lenges of a large growth initiative. We had limited time and many desired outcomes. Together, Eli and I
designed the strategy and details so that on the actual day I was able to fully participate. Eli guided our
group with skillful facilitation and in real time adapted to the emergent needs of the group. With humor
and effective group rules, Eli kept us on task with acute attention to the process and outcomes.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and all members felt engaged, connected and their
time well utilized."
Executive Director, Nonprofit
Processes and Systems
"In March 2013, Eli was part of a fact finding tour of Pfizer Grange Castle with the purpose of under-
standing our business and seeing the problems. She insisted on learning from walking , taking and
asking and she collected more data and a had a better understanding of the issues after a one day
visit than any other consultant. She was interested in the facts , curious about the exceptions and
passionate about improvement."
Site OEE Manager
Processes and Systems
“Eli worked with our group to help us reinvent our operation. Her guidance was instrumental in getting
us to truly understand our processes and how they could be improved. We are well on our way to
being a much more efficient group due to her instrumental input. She truly became a member of our
team in providing guidance not just on continuous improvement but also implementation and
change management.”
Director, PhD, and Board Certified Toxicologist
Teams and Leadership
“Your ‘care’ in this process is evident and key to your value proposition..... feels like a real partnership
where you care about the outcome, not a consultant ‘drive by’ with data dump and wave in the
rearview mirror.”
Senior Executive, Major Medical Company
Individual Executive Coaching
“This experience has been far better and more helpful than any of my prior ‘development’ opportuni-
ties. Usually just some self-help tools of little value, with no expert guidance or assistance. Your
personal impact is a key differentiator here......”
Vice President, Fortune 500 Company
