It’s all about your team thinking like one !!
My name is Jon Denn, I’m the Chief Thinking Officer of DRUMBEAT Productivity. I was a Hotel Chain CEO, ran an adaptive leadership program for 12 years, a publisher, entrepreneur, and have been a Vistage CEO Coach and Group Chair since 2014. I’ve combined all this and my own productivity tips and tricks learned while battling (and beating) chronic fatigue into a book, workshops, speaking and coaching so you can beat your goals and disorganization.
I write for Forbes and have been published in Fortune Magazine, Hotel Management Magazine, DC Velocity. I have thirteen Adrian Awards from the Hotel Sales & Marketing Association International, and a GREAT Menu Award from the National Restaurant Association. I’m also a doubly certified health coach.
What’s the most important thing we should be working on today? Are you dreaming big enough? How can I help? Really, I love this stuff.
