Sam's top five strengths from StrengthsFinder 2.0 (Woo, Individualization, Communication, Futuristic, Ideation) all point to someone who enjoys working collaboratively with others toward a better future. Whether it is working together with a business owner to hire just the right person to run their operations, or grooming a new GM to run a troubled satellite office, or helping refine the effectiveness of an executive leadership team — or as one owner commissioned him, “to make all my project managers more emotionally intelligent” — Sam is doing what he was meant to do.
Sam Alibrando is also an author. His seminal work on the change process is Follow the Yellow Brick Road: How to Change for the Better When Life Gives You Its Worst. Read more about his book at http://www.yellowbrickroad-book.com/.
Sam has accumulated many interests and experiences over 30 years as consultant, clinician, director, author, trainer and workshop facilitator, adjunct professor, mediator and collaborative law coach, and board advisor. However, all these experiences and roles are aimed toward one end: to help individuals and organizations become better at what they do and to do that with integrity and joy.
