Meet the Coaches Behind the Methodology
At PipelinePlus, we believe business development isn’t about innate charisma or aggressive sales tactics—it’s about clarity, consistency, and connection. That’s why our coaching programs start with one essential ingredient: trust.
In addition to one-on-one coaching, our faculty leads many of the business development training programs offered by PipelinePlus. Whether they’re running a workshop, facilitating a retreat, or working behind the scenes to improve firm-wide outcomes, they approach each engagement through the lens of The Short List methodology: focusing on the right relationships, taking strategic action, and tracking measurable outcomes.
In this special blog series, we’re introducing the trusted advisors behind our coaching, training, and consulting work, one coach at a time. Each post spotlights a member of our faculty who brings deep experience, fresh perspective, and a personal approach to helping professionals grow their practices with intention.
