One's voice is the most powerful tool a leader possesses. Think of the great leaders in history: Lincoln, Winston Churchill, FDR, JFK. The power in their voice moved entire nations. The power in a Project Manager's voice leads to successful negotiations with team members, stakeholders, and executive sponsors.

For that is what we all are: just people.

Rod is a management consultant and project management professional who inspires organizations and individuals to excel.
From beginnings as a computer programmer with the Federal Government in Ottawa, Rod was appointed the first Head of Systems and Services with Toronto International Airport. The world's first multi-modal, multi-terminal traffic management system was implemented under Rod's leadership.

Appointed the CEO of a small Bluetooth manufacturing company in LA, Rod originated and then presented strategic and financial plans to several potential investors. Part of the communication as CEO required Rod to speak with 'the press' including an on-air interview with Bloomberg radio in New York. Rod also inspired the re-engineering platform for a Boeing aircraft subsidiary in San Diego. For Maricopa County, in Phoenix Arizona, Rod provided a disaster management plan.
Returning to Toronto in late 2009, Rod was assigned project roles with Kobo eBooks and Clear Channel Communications. Recently because of difficulties during implementation, Rod was appointed the 'relationship' manager for iHeartMedia and the first incarnation of iHeartRadio.
