Consulting & Coaching Rates
Practical Lean Six Sigma expertise to save you time and money while building the skills of your team
Whether you’re solving a specific process problem, coaching a project team, analyzing data, or planning a larger improvement initiative, I offer flexible consulting options to fit your organization’s needs.
My goal is simple: provide practical, data-driven guidance that helps you improve quality, reduce waste, lower costs, and achieve measurable and sustainable results for your organization, your customers and stakeholders.
Trusted by manufacturers, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and sustainable businesses to solve complex operational challenges through practical Lean Six Sigma methods.
My goal is to save you more money than it costs to engage with me, and I have the examples to prove it.
Complimentary Consultation
30-Minute Introductory Call – Free
Let’s discuss your goals, challenges, and determine whether I’m the right fit for your needs. There’s no obligation. If I don’t think I’m the best resource, I’ll tell you and recommend someone else. There are many great consultants to consider who can provide value for you.
I honestly just want to help ensure you’re on the right path and getting the help you need, even if I’m not the one you select.
If you talk to my clients, I think they’ll say the same thing.
I’ll also give you some practical advice during the call. I don’t hold back my thoughts until you officially become a client like many other consultants. I’ll be doing this work for the next few decades. I view our conversation as the start of a potential long-term relationship.
I don’t want to work full-time at your company for many years. I enjoy being a consultant and helping many different clients, so know that I’m looking to make you self-sufficient, not make you tied to my support indefinitely.

Let’s Talk
Not every project fits neatly into an hourly or daily rate.
If you’re unsure what level of support you need, schedule a complimentary introductory call. Together we’ll determine the most effective and cost-effective approach for your organization. My goal is to recommend the level of support that provides the greatest value to you, not simply the most billable hours for me.
