We have worked on business growth and change management projects; he has facilitated and organized meetings, and led individuals and groups through strategic planning processes.   TIDES collects data, collaborates with key stakeholders, and most importantly asks the right and difficult questions for successful outcomes. Steve’s keen eye to details and his ability to network and actively engage all stakeholders – authentically – is one of his greatest assets as a leader.”
