Much of what I speak about as an author and keynote presenter is inspired by leading my company, Dark Horse Recording, to sustained profitability. Everyday, I personally face the same challenges that every manager, employee, or business owner faces in their daily business life.
When I began to build this business from scratch 16 years ago, no one could have imagined the technological changes that have challenged so many studio facilities around the world. But we have learned to adapt. By being proactive in our approach to researching industry trends, then executing change strategies, we consistently improved our methods of operation, systems, best practices and hence, our brand. Preempting change, rather than reacting to it, enables us to stay ahead of the curve, and therefore, relentlessly focus on our customers. This continual improvement process has brought Dark Horse Recording to a prominent spot in the music industry as one of the most successful studio complexes in the world. Our clients include Taylor Swift, Neil Diamond, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Ashley Judd, Vince Gill, Michael W. Smith, Jewel, Alison Krauss, and countless others.
In each presentation I draw from my practical experiences building businesses from the ground up to show how effective leaders are those who are able to think on their feet, adapt to change, get in front of the trend, and strategically delegate.
