When choosing a name for our coaching/consulting firm, first and foremost, we wanted to honor the ancestral home of one of our founders—our farm Fleetwood. It is a beautiful pastoral place in the heart of Southside Virginia. Oh, and please consider it as a place for your next leadership gathering.
The name Fleetwood means “stream in woods,” a great metaphor for our practice; helping leaders and organizations change and transform to achieve their vision. Streams present sudden opportunities and challenges; healthy streams are vibrant, constantly moving; and powerful streams use their momentum to shape their surroundings. Leaders and organizations can learn a lot from streams and how they constantly adapt and transform themselves and their environments.
“Jack has consistently brought leadership, rigor and thought processes to our clinical transformation and electronic medical records work.
Change is often difficult, however, Jack always finds ways to make it fun and engaging. He has designed and incorporated experiential learning exercises into leadership workshops and other innovative events. He encourages us to ask the hard questions and find vital solutions.
I am most appreciative of our coaching moments. They have helped me see things from a broader perspective and become a better leader.”
