Business Process Excellence Lead

Greg Harrod Enterprises LLC

Running a business can be overwhelming.

Trying to manage all the strategic initiatives and projects you need to accomplish can feel like chaos.

You have a gut feel everything is on track.

But, you're not really sure.

The stress and anxiety is taking its toll.

On you and your team.

Would you like to be able to relax just a little at work?

I can help.

Through my executive coaching and consulting services, you and your team can learn how to introduce structure and order to your business.

You'll learn to apply the techniques, tools, and processes I've honed over a 30+ year career.

You'll get your programs and projects under control.

The meetings that used to waste your team's time (and your company's money) will be productive and efficient.

Would your team be energized when you tell them the bad meetings are over?

They’ll be motivated and more productive.

And, you'll have a calm that comes from a data-based assurance from knowing your initiatives are on track.

You'll be an even more effective leader as you connect with your people, mobilize them for action, and deliver results.

But, your business may be in great shape.

Your stress level may already low.

If that's the case, I may not be a fit to help you and your business.

But, if you think I might be able to add value, please contact me.

I'd love the opportunity to help you and your team deliver results.

And avoid the anxiety and stress of a chaos-filled business.

I look forward to talking with you.

I Help Business Leaders Stop Bad Meetings

If you’re like me, you can’t STAND bad meetings.

They waste time and money in your business.

And they ruin the morale and energy of your team.

When your meetings are bad, your business is at risk.

As a business leader, that’s the last thing you want.

So, I want to help you improve YOUR meetings.

And, here’s the truth.

You can make your meetings productive, effective, and even ENJOYABLE!

How?

I explain that each weekday when I post just after 7 am Central time.

After leading thousands of meetings over a 30+ year career, I’ve gained valuable experience.

And, I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.

If you’d like to be an exceptional meeting leader and improve the meetings in your business, do this.

“Ring the bell” in my profile to follow me.

Jump in with your comments on my post and we’ll keep learning together.

If you’d like to learn even more, check out the FREE resources on my website.

The link in my Featured section of my profile will take you right to them.

Check that page often. I add new offers regularly.

I’m constantly learning and building new tools I use myself and with my clients.

And, when something works, I want to share it with you.

But, you may be wondering this.

Are meetings all you do, Greg?

It's a good question.

I AM committed to building a global movement to Stop Bad Meetings.

That's true.

But, helping you improve your meetings isn’t all I do.

You can hire me as an Executive Business Consultant and Coach. 

If you would like to explore individual coaching for you or your team members,

or if you want to discuss a custom consulting package for your business,

please DM me.

My expertise and services include much more than helping you improve your meetings.

But, making your business meetings as 

⭐Productive, ⭐Effective, and even ⭐Enjoyable

as they can be is always a great place to start.

Let’s connect and support one another in this LinkedIn community.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
