Ian, Principal of Fulcrum Associates, is an experienced presenter, group facilitator and executive coach. Through his keynote presentations, highly interactive workshops, and custom-designed team-building practice, he helps his clients leverage their investment in their managers and teams.

He works almost exclusively with managers, from executive down to mid-level. His programs introduce cutting-edge skills and concepts around (1) transforming executive and mid-level managers into leaders and (2) fostering superior team performance.

Ian began his independent practice in 1988, following seventeen years of corporate experience in both the high tech manufacturing and transportation industries. Fulcrum has served over 200 clients in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

His advice to management is both thought-provoking and practical. He speaks with passion. His message is clear:

“Superior results occur when individual employees accept personal accountability for their own goals, priorities, performance, attitudes and how they choose to work with others.

And, while it is mostly up to the individual to find job satisfaction, managers can adopt proven leadership approaches to create an environment where people choose to excel.”
