Five Reasons why Timothy Swords Consulting is Different

I am a senior-level consultant, and you will work with me from start to finish. You get a senior-level commitment from the first meeting until the last. Clients receive experienced-based pragmatic advice – not merely process facilitation.
Leveraging state-of-the-art coaching, Timothy Swords Consulting enables your executive team to function at a high-performance level, which is essential to effective strategy execution in today’s rapid cycle environment.
I recognize that one-on-one leadership coaching is most needed in times of strategic change – and I help executives acquire the skills that (s)he has not necessarily needed to develop or rely on in the past, particularly when they need to develop these new skills on the fly.
My unique business transformation approach focuses on enabling senior managers to take charge of the change process and delegate down to their support teams.
Our “firm-day” launches – when everyone is brought into the strategic process – are some of the best days your employees will ever experience in the workplace.

Business Transformation Consulting

Using a wide range of the best practices, tools, and techniques from the world of contemporary business management, I work intensively with senior management at every step to articulate and refine a strategy that will lead to a focused implementation program — one that will rally the organization and improve profitability.

If your strategic targets are not being met, we can discuss the issues and shift our strategy. With a deep passion for client success, I bring an unusual breadth and depth of knowledge to every engagement.

I have implemented major programs that have helped companies from pharmaceuticals to luxury travel; from finance to professional services, attain new levels of success.
