The Manage2Lead System helps established business owners escape daily operations and build teams that run the business without them.

You've Built Something Solid... But You're Trapped

Does this sound familiar?

You're working 60+ hour weeks but the business still depends on you for everything

Your team can't make decisions without checking with you first

You've tried to delegate but things fall apart when you step away

Vacation is impossible – or filled with work calls and emails

The business is profitable but YOU'RE exhausted

You know you need to let go… but don't know how

"You didn't build a business to become its prisoner."
After 30+ years working with hundreds of business owners, I've seen this pattern repeatedly: Successful entrepreneurs build solid companies but end up trapped IN the business instead of working ON it.

The cost of staying stuck:

Your health and relationships suffer
Your business has no value without you in it
Growth stalls because everything runs through you
You're working harder, not smarter

 

THE SOLUTION

Introducing the Manage2Lead System
Manage2Lead-v3a

A proven framework for building self-managing teams so your business runs without you.  The Manage2Lead System transforms how your business operates by developing your team to take true ownership while you shift from managing to leading.

This isn't about working harder or hiring more people. It's about fundamentally changing how decisions are made, how problems are solved, and how your team operates daily.

My approach combines:

  • Leadership and management development
  • Validated employment assessments (PXT Select)

  • Hands-on implementation (not just consulting)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Manage2Lead System process take?

Most clients see significant improvements within 3-6 months, with full transformation typically taking 9-12 months. This isn't a quick fix - we're fundamentally changing how your business operates.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

I work hands-on with clients in the Greater Montreal area, with bi-weekly on-site sessions. Remote coaching rarely works for these challenges - real transformation requires being in the business.

What size companies do you work with?

Typically established businesses with 10-50 employees that have been around 15+ years. The owner is still heavily involved in daily operations.

What does it cost?

Investment starts at $2,000/month for ongoing hands-on support. We'll discuss specifics in your consultation based on your situation.

What if I've tried consultants before and it didn't work?

Most consultants give advice and leave. I work alongside you and your team to implement changes. The difference is hands-on support, not just recommendations.
