Team Leadership
Leadership in Teams = Team Success
You may think that the picture of a college lacrosse team seems a little misplaced on a business website until you learn the rest of the story...
​
At Leader's Intent, we specialize in team leadership whether that be your office team, crisis management team, or your sports team. I have been involved in teams my entire life. In high school it was a national award winning marching band and drumline. After high school it was a drum and bugle corps. Then it was the Marine Corps as a team member of an infantry platoon and a scout-sniper platoon.
​
I then moved on to public safety where I specialized in creating All-Hazards Incident Management Teams or crisis management teams. In these teams, I have responded to and experienced some of the country's toughest disasters. Every time, I was a part of a team designed to function effectively to lead and manage the emergency, crisis, or disaster.
​
My experience is paralleled with my education. I have a Bachelor of Science in Law Enforcement from the University of Indianapolis. I have a Master of Leadership in Executive Leadership from the University of Southern California. I recently completed my Doctor of Education in Organizational Change and Leadership from the University of Southern California. During my graduate and doctorate program, I once again participated on a team. For four years, I played lacrosse with USC and was the oldest player ever to play in the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. I was voted by my (nearly 30 year younger) peers as the most inspirational player.

...and now you know the rest of the story.
