Peter Christian is a hands-on executive and trusted adviser with 40+ years of professional business experience.
Peter brings his practical knowledge and experiences to solve both the company’s and manager’s problems by working closely with them to help ensure their success. He listens to the managers and executives and understands their concerns and issues. He then provides focused and realistic approaches to address and resolve their issues and difficulties. They then become better and more confident leaders and managers and are comfortable dealing with difficult situations.
Peter helps businesses and their managers and leaders to realize what their constraints are and how to overcome them.
He finds the root causes of the business and/or the individual’s problems and establishes a common sense approach to resolving them. Having dealt with and experienced many of these situations himself, he can bring that experience and knowledge to bear in correcting and resolving adverse or troublesome situations.
Peter played a key role in the 700% growth of Crayola in his 17 years with the company. Since then, he has worked with 300+ companies. These ranged from small to Fortune 100 enterprises. He has helped them to reduce costs and increase profitability by millions of dollars while adding and saving thousands of jobs. He works closely with managers at all levels to assist them in making better decisions and reducing their stress levels.
Peter does not jump into a situation and try to change everything. He first spends time to know about the company and the people he is working with. There are many things that they are doing well. Those things are left alone. Instead, he finds those things that aren’t working well and addresses and helps the client to fix them. The client is intimately involved in establishing the root causes, determining what and how to fix them, and then getting them resolved.
