Welcome — think out

“It is the future, not the past, that demands our earnest and anxious thought.”

W. Churchill

There's a wall we help organizations move through and evolve from. We go to the root of your mission and help it grow by empowering employees, their ideas and move current systems of development over to the other side of that wall, where we see what's possible, and beyond the way it’s always been done.

Saving money, cutting costs, improving the bottom line, increasing revenue--however you name it, prevention makes it happen. I take a deep dive with you, your team and your interactions with outside influences. My interactions with your team are authentic, non-replicable and result in high value. I engage their minds, elicit responses and capture imaginations. In other words, get your team's skills, talents and knowledge to work for you; spurring interest into action.

Some of the amazing partners we have been honored to think with:

Amy Cote’ is an outstanding legal professional whose first instinct is to take on a difficult issue and solve the problem. I have personally seen her dedication, preparation and most importantly, her ability to recognize multiple points of view regarding the same issue and still work towards a solution. There are times when laws and policies create conflicts or grey areas, but Amy is always thoroughly prepared with knowledge of not just the letter of the law, but utilization of legal principle to apply those laws intelligently to the situation at hand. Even when we were working from different understandings and in a difficult situation, Amy's professionalism and ability stood out. Her level of understanding and respect in negotiation over thorny issues such as civil rights and labor relations has earned my respect over the years. In conversations outside of direct working engagements, Amy has shown a dedication to both improving her attorney skills and to her practice group. I highly recommend Amy for any leading legal position.

A very bright, motivated, and leadership oriented Manager that takes the time to teach, coach and lead employees. Her attention to details and seeing projects completed shows up in the quality of the end product. Throughout my time working with Amy her interaction with my division of the company resulted in a major change in the work process that improved our product 10 folds. Amy is a very resourceful person to have on any team and is Highly recommended!

That which is preventable should be, and that which is not shall be succinctly managed.

I started Think Out because for most organizations prevention is an afterthought.

With communication, consistency and execution, employees will perform well as teams that are prepared for the expected and unexpected. Thanks to my training and experience, I have strong skills in leadership, communication, change management, operations, labor relations, policy development and best practices. Thanks to my genes, I have an obsessive curiosity, keen ability to think out, problem solve and counsel. If you have questions or just want to think out loud together, I'd love to take action and advocate for you, your people, your business, your future!
