Jeff teaches executive teams how to improve humility and learning to create an agile culture for continuous improvement.
Jeff believes humility and learning are in short supply. To improve that, he teaches executives and teams — through advising, workshops, keynotes, coaching & books — to focus on their customers, learn from mistakes and create an agile culture that continuously improves their products and services and the way they work.
More recently he’s codified the principles of modern product development and applied them to building a platform of thought leadership and recognized expertise. He captures this approach in his latest book, Forever Employable.
He’s excited to partner with executives and companies looking to improve not only their products but the culture that builds them.
