About Me

Founder: John Lane

I’d really rather talk about you. But, since you’re here, you probably want to know something about me. So here goes.


What I Do and Why
In my experience, most companies don’t practice good communication skills, even under the best of times. Under stress, pressure, or change, communication often breaks down, leading to unproductive conflict—lots of heat, but no light. Poor communication leads to poor “people decisions,” dragging down future productivity.


My role is to help fix that. I work with leaders across industries to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and enable more effective decision-making.


➡️ Order of operation is critical: fix the communication first, and everything else can fall into place.

 

How I Help
Great leaders know they can’t understand every detail about each team member. Yet, those who succeed find ways to coach and motivate each individual based on their unique traits.

I help leaders do exactly that—provide data-driven insights to understand each person’s traits and translate those into communication style, preferences, and blind spots. I offer individual coaching guides that help ensure your team members reach their full potential.


Who I Work With
If you’re a high-performing leader committed to taking your team to the next level, we might be a fit. I work with leaders who:

💡 Are willing to invest time and resources into developing their team.
😓 Feel personally frustrated when team members aren’t reaching their potential.
🔄 Are open to feedback and coaching on leadership style and team dynamics.
📊 Understand the value of working with an outside expert to leverage powerful, individualized data.


What to Expect
I don’t believe in shortcuts or hacks. My programs are grounded in actionable insights tailored to your team’s needs. If you’re ready to make a lasting impact, I’ll help you:

✔️ Gain a foundational understanding of your own leadership traits.
🎯 Understand each team member’s specific needs and provide individualized coaching.
📞 Build a common framework that enhances communication, both internally and with clients.
