In Most Places, This Story Wouldn’t Fly
Picture this scene.
A large group of passengers is gathered in an airport terminal, waiting breathlessly to hear what’s being announced at the podium. The speaker stops and the passengers erupt in spontaneous applause…for an airline employee!
This is neither a figment of my imagination nor a scene from a movie.
Top of Mind Thursday
New!

Consider an Advisor
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a third party objective resource? How about a sounding board for reviewing plans, an idea source for planning implementation, a responsive expert for questions and advice, a support system for accountability, or just a devil’s advocate to review potential key decisions?
Over the last 20 years, executives in a wide range of organizations, from Fortune 500 companies to startups, have relied on Linda Popky as a trusted advisor.
We offer three types of Advisory Services:
- Executive Advisor – for senior-level corporate executives
- Startup Advisor – for executives at start-up and emerging companies
- Consultant Advisor – for consultants and professional services firms
