Erika Andersen is founder of Proteus International (www.proteus-international.com) and author of Being Strategic, one of the three books I keep handy. Why? She offers powerful, clear, actionable steps to insure I am Being Strategic for all my projects. Erika uses metaphor and models to help people learn about themselves and their organizations, and then to decide how to move toward the future they envision. While she encourages clients to think deeply and to examine their assumptions and patterns of behavior, she also offers practical methods and skills for individuals, teams, and companies to achieve their hoped-for-future. A growing audience is finding and enjoying the solutions Erika offers in her book and her consulting practice. She recently worked with Detroit Public Television and a live studio audience, teaching them the Being Strategic process and skills, and helping them start to apply it to a real challenge in their lives. Imagine being a restaurant owner in NY City, You have 30-40,000 competitors. How do you create a strategy that can allow you to survive, much less thrive.

Come on by. This is 3rd time Erika has agreed to share her time with us.
