DISTINGUISH THE SIGNAL
FROM THE NOISE.
You’re a leader that measures growth by results. Those results are getting harder and harder to achieve with the amount of noise you have to navigate through to find a clear perspective to inform your decisions. We help leaders every day cut through the noise they’re bombarded with faster, so they can focus on leading effectively.
” I have worked with Mario for the better part of two years. He is a thoughtful listener who has a unique ability to digest a wide range of information and synthesize it down into actionable steps. He does an extraordinary job identifying your strengths while also providing tools to help recognize elements of your professional development that could be improved. The Awareness to Action Enneagram system is the perfect framework to help pinpoint these strengths and weaknesses and ultimately improve your professional effectiveness. In short, he will make you a better leader and your employees and colleagues will all benefit as a result. I highly recommend working with Mario.”

MOVE PAST THE BARRIERS THAT LIMIT YOUR EFFECTIVENESS.
Nobody wants to admit it but we all resist change at some level.
And that leaves us limited in our effectiveness.
That’s why I’ve dedicated my life’s work to helping people adapt to change authentically by creating clarity in the face of chaos, acting intentionally from the purpose they create, and developing the necessary skills to become fully capable in any arena of life.

The One-on-One Program
If you are not growing as a leader, you are falling behind.
It’s that simple.
The world is changing. Your competition is getting tougher. You don’t always have someone you can turn to for guidance, who can point you in the right direction, who can keep you on the growth curve.
That is what I’ve been doing for leaders across the globe in companies of all sizes for 25 years. I work with a select group of successful leaders to help them discover what obstacles are keeping them from reaching their full potential. I’ll design a program tailored to your specific needs so you can get there too.

The Awareness to Action Enneagram for Executives Teams
The dynamics of senior leadership teams have a profound impact on an organization. Teams that interact ineffectively do so at a steep cost that ripples down through the organization. An unpleasant fact of organizations is that the effectiveness of the team at the top sets the tone and culture of the organization; if the team’s communication and collaboration is not optimal, the cost to the organization is incalculable.
Friction and inefficiency arise in teams when there is a conflict of values or a conflict of styles. Executive leadership teams are made up of driven people used to following their own inner voice on what should be done and how it should be done. But this means they don’t always understand each other’s points of view.
Skillful teams are composed of highly motivated people who are aware of what drives them as well as an awareness of what truly drives those around them.
And no tool is better for developing that ability than the Awareness to Action Enneagram.
The Awareness to Action Enneagram for Executive Teams is a customized program for assessing the personality styles of the team members, helping them understand how their Enneagram profile influences their priorities and interpersonal style, and the ways that it can either hinder or help collaboration and communication.
Each member of the team will walk away with actionable insights on how they can grow individually and collectively, and we will work with you to create a foundation for continued improvement.

EXPAND YOUR CAPACITY
TO PRODUCE RESULTS.
The mark of a great leader is getting the most important things done. When you have the clarity you need to identify the right decisions, you’re able to drive those decisions through your organization and ultimately motivate and empower others more effectively. Let’s get started.
Power: How to Get It and Why
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (Lord Acton) Acton may be correct (most people leave out the important word “tends” when repeating this quote), but I have never seen an effective leader who was powerless. In fact, the best leaders are...
What is work?
A framed reproduction of a Picasso sketch hangs on the wall above my desk, a steady reminder. The sketch is part of a series, "Toros y Toreros." Bull and bullfighter. Black ink on white canvas, simple and stark, and all the more striking for it. It took a lot of...
Confirmation Bias
The voice came from behind me in a moment of downtime after an exercise during the training. “So, Mario, have you identified your subtype?” I turned around to see Don Riso standing a few feet away. “Yes, I’m a self-pres Eight.” “No you’re not. You’re social,” he said...
