Similar to the 4DX model, EOS is an exceptional business operating system. It brings clarity, accountability, focus, and execution. It helps organizations answer questions like: • Are we focused on the right priorities? • Do we have the right people in the right seats? • Are we executing

Every great organization knows that people are its greatest competitive advantage. Yet most organizations manage talent in pieces. Recruiting sits in one department. Learning lives somewhere else. Performance reviews become annual paperwork. Succession planning is often an emergency response instead of a long-term strategy. People deserve better. Organizations deserve better. That's why I developed the SPADES™ Framework—an integrated approach that views talent as a continuous

"Your calling is not simply what you do. It is who you become as you faithfully respond to where God is leading you." — Vic Clesceri For decades, I've been fascinated by the question that nearly everyone asks at some point in life: Why am I here? Some ask it in their twenties as they begin their careers. Others ask it in midlife after achieving everything they once pursued. Many ask it after loss, retirement, disappointment, or unexpected change. I began asking it when I beca

Over the past several years, we’ve had the privilege of serving clients across the U.S. and internationally.

Walter Gretzky is credited with the famous quote: “𝐺𝑜 𝑡𝑜 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛.” What many people do not realize is how he taught his son Wayne to think about the game. Walter used Socratic questioning. After games he would ask Wayne: • 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔? • 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑦? • 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑟? Those questions

Over the past couple of weeks, a few friends have kindly shared with me that 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 has been appearing in parish discussions, church settings, spiritual retreats, and Lenten reflections. I'm humbled and honored and want to express a heartfelt thank you. 🙏 Not in a promotional sense. Not in a “look what is happening” sense. But in a deeply grateful sense. Because Lent has never been about a book, a project, or a person. Lent is about the quiet,

Scarcity whispers. It tells leaders there is not enough. Not enough time. Not enough resources. Not enough credit. Not enough opportunity. And slowly, subtly, decisions begin to shrink. We hold tighter. We protect instead of empower. We compete instead of collaborate. We manage from fear instead of lead from purpose. But surrendered leadership breaks those chains. A surrendered leader does not operate from anxiety about what might run out. They operate from trust in what cann

A woman who goes by Suzette has a podcast, and since December 29, 2025, she has been faithfully reading each chapter from my book 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 on her show ( https://lnkd.in/ejDRr-zt ). I am deeply humbled, genuinely touched, and immensely blessed. I don’t know Suzette personally, yet here she is stewarding these words with care, consistency, and faith. It’s a powerful reminder that once a work is released, it no longer belongs to the author. It belong

Lent has always felt different to me than other seasons. Quieter. More honest. Almost uncomfortable in the best possible way. Because Lent refuses to let us hide. It gently, but persistently, asks the question most of us spend the rest of the year avoiding. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼? Not just obvious habits or distractions. But control. Fear. Old identities. The need to be right. The need to be secure. The illusion that everything depends on us,

A faith-driven approach to letting go of control and discovering freedom. Many of us live with a hidden tension — the need to control outcomes , manage expectations , and predict every step of our journey . But life rarely unfolds on our terms. Instead, we often find ourselves exhausted, anxious, or disillusioned. What if the path to peace isn’t about holding on tightly — but about learning to release ? This is the heart of The Surrender Project — a faith-base

I had the pleasure of joining Jamie Moore and Paul Rasmussen on their 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗶𝗺 podcast last week. Thank you both for the engaging conversation and the opportunity to dive into a message that matters — 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿. We explored themes around leadership, calling and purpose, spiritual growth, navigating challenging seasons, 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗵, and, of course, Surrender. I appreciated the thoughtful questions and the space you created for authentic dialogue. I'm grat

Scarcity rarely shouts. t quietly shapes our choices, our leadership, and even our faith. We talk a lot about abundance, collaboration, and “one team.” But if we’re honest with ourselves, scarcity is still deeply embedded within us, even among believers. Scarcity says there isn’t enough. Enough opportunity. Influence. Resources. Recognition. Money, the most common concern. So, we protect. Compare. Compete. Control. And instead of living as one body, we drift toward self-prese

People often ask me, "𝑆𝑜, 𝑉𝑖𝑐...𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦?" The practitioner? The scholar? Or the evangelist? My answer is always, yes. 😊 By day (and many nights), I’m a practitioner through The Management Sherpa™ , working with leaders who are navigating real pressure, real people, and real consequences. Boardrooms don’t care about theory if it can’t survive Monday morning. In the classroom at Miami University Farmer School of Business , I step into

As this year comes to a close, I’m filled with deep gratitude. 2025 has been one of the most meaningful nd transformative seasons yet for The Management Sherpa, not because everything was easy, but because doors kept opening, relationships deepened, and leaders leaned into growth with courage and humility.
