SELECT A GUIDE AND NOT A CONSULTANT

 

Lamar is a Guide and NOT a Consultant.  Traditional Consultants (i) light on YOUR land; (ii) employ THEIR model and frame of reference to form "solutions"; (iii) engage in selling; and (iv) collect and disappear.  This frequently results in impractical "solutions" and a void of sustainability of betterment.  Lamar's Guide approach uses (i) YOUR frame of reference, (ii) YOUR cultural receptivity and organizational readiness and (iii) YOUR company's digestibility for change. Life's journeys are many and frequently complex.  Virtually all are fraught with dangers and unintented adverse consequences.  The benefits of partnering with a seasoned guide who has experienced many diverse transformational journeys are innumerable.

 

If you are an individual or business executive who has embarked or is embarking upon a transformation in self, organization or enterprise ... or if you are an executive who seeks to inspire and motivate your organization for a call to action ... or if you are a leader who wishes to further the development of staff ... explore the benefits of engaging an experienced guide to accelerate and advance your efforts.  It will definitely be worth your investment.
