William’s Background

William specializes in leadership development, strategic planning, employee engagement, and culture building. He has more than 20 years of experience enhancing the performance of individual executives, teams, and organizations. His background encompasses a wide range of programs and initiatives for organization design, cultural change and personal development. His unique approach to leadership and organization development began during his 20 years in the blood banking industry where William served as Regional Director of Human Resources, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Region, Regional Director of Blood Operations, and Vice President of Production Planning. William is also the founder of Be Better World LLC, a self-empowerment movement geared toward developing professionals and youth to deal with the real time issues that stand in their way and how to take the next steps to success. His stance takes a different approach as he works directly with clients to implement strategies and teach skills that can be carried through every phase of life. Be Better World is gaining national attention and his motto is “We All Play A Role”.

Clients

William has assisted clients in a wide variety of industries including community corrections, blood banking, professional service organizations and school systems (grades K-12). In addition, William has worked one-on-one with leaders and future leaders to address issues ranging from communication styles, diversifying the work culture, and personal development.

Coaching Approach

William meets leaders where they are in their career path: whether it’s newly hired leaders of an organization, key stakeholders taking on challenging new assignments, leaders with management issues, or other high-potential stakeholders who can benefit from clear and constructive feedback.

He works hard to understand the culture of each organization and adapts his coaching style to ensure the skills and strategies being taught set clients up for the most success possible in their current environment. William’s primary focus is to help clients better understand their personal strengths and the assets they bring to an organization. From there, William aids in creating strategic plans that allow both the employee and the organization to benefit from the work that is done by the team or an individual!
