Leadership Without Excuses! The Work Zone™, a "way of being" that creates an experiential field of study for leadership, productivity, accomplishment and communication. Distinct from the kind of study that explains in order to understand, the Work Zone™ is designed to leave participants living inside of and being empowered by the abstractions: leadership, productivity, accomplishment and communication.
