Our company, Walking Maverick Consulting, brings leadership and management consulting to small and medium sized businesses who wish to change their culture to put people before programmes.
We focus on applying lessons that we learned from 15 years of executive level management.
We directed non-profit organizations that ran 5 children’s summer camps with a full-time staff of 2 (us), 70 seasonal employees and over 200 volunteers per year.
We had:
- people with no work experience, no higher education
- so little money in our staffing budget that what our people took home could only be called an “honourarium”
- competition for workers with companies paying 10x’s as much wages
- a remote location with little in the way of off-time activities
- a job description that included 23 hours a day of working time
We created:
- an amazing staff that joyfully put in the long hours
- a creative atmosphere that operated on little to no budget and produced dynamic results
- a tight-knit community of people committed to the health and welfare of their co-workers
- a young leaders who excitedly took on a job with more responsibility than they will have again in their working lives.
