Hi! I'm Jack.
Sitting at the cross-section of problem- solving and human development, decision-making is critical to personal success. But it’s often misunderstood, creating anxiety and contributing to performance issues.
Having conducted thousands of executive interviews as a risk management expert, I found many leaders struggled with making important decisions because they were never given the training or tools for making decisions confidently and at the speed their job requires.
I haven’t just seen this issue. I’ve lived through it.
Early in my career, I was presented with a situation that could have had severe consequences for my client, as well as the firm. It was a critical decision, and I soon realized it was mine alone, as the executives around me struggled with making the final decision.
This revelation shook me to the core, and I felt anxiety wash over me. In that moment, I saw how critical the decision-making process was to my personal and organizational success.
This catalyst has since become The Decision Switch™—a proven methodology and tools that transform how leaders make confident decisions, at the speed their role requires.

1. OUR
PHILOSOPHY
Every individual makes decisions with the best of intentions, but good intentions don’t guarantee consistently positive outcomes.
We equip your leaders to follow a proven framework that instills in them the knowledge and confidence needed to be decisive leaders who know how to make effective decisions.
We do this by:
-
Establishing individual rapport through a focus on their goals
-
Performing a leadership decisiveness capability assessment, which identifies an individual's awareness and knowledge gaps.
-
Creating a personalized development plan that recognizes the individual’s needs and strengths.
Typical coaching clients are:
-
Executives seeking to enhance their operating effectiveness and ability to make confident decisions at the speed their role requires
-
High-performing individual contributors who have been thrust into a leadership role and are now responsible for others within the organization.
-
Strong performers with high potential who lack the skills and confidence to reach the next level and/or execute at the right speed.
-
Dedicated managers who are consistently underperforming due to identified performance issues.
