3 x Award-Winning NYU & Columbia University Professor of Leadership & Visual Thinking
CEO & Co-founder of BigBlueGumball LLC | Management Consultant | Executive Coach | Public Speaking Coach | Author of the book "VisuaLeadership | TEDx speaker
management training, leadership development, teambuilding, presentation skills, communication skills, visual thinking
Over the years, I've trained and coached thousands of senior-level executives, managers, and individuals at hundreds of companies worldwide on how they can maximize their performance, their productivity, and their potential by using my patented visual thinking-based methodology that I call, "VisuaLeadership."
At it's foundation, VisuaLeadership is about leveraging the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, and visual storytelling to get others to "see" what you're saying, so as to be a more effective thinker, communicator, manager, and leader.
It's the same innovative methodology that I've taught in my NYU and Columbia University leadership graduate classes for the past ten years, winning three teaching excellence awards in the process.
And now I am offering this learning opportunity to YOU...at a fraction of the cost of the tuition you would pay at these world-class universities!
After having delivered my first TEDx talk last year on "The Power of Visual Thinking," and having just had my first book, "VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life" published by Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster, I will soon be offering a variety of Pick My Brain online workshops and other valuable offerings to help you to become a "visual leader"...so that you can turn YOUR vision into a reality.

CEO & Cofounder of BigBlueGumball – a top boutique NYC-based leadership consulting, training, and executive coaching firm
NYU Adjunct Professor of leadership (10 years; 3-time award winner) and Lecturer on leadership at Columbia University (6 years)
TEDx Speaker: “The Power of Visual Thinking” (TEDxChelseaPark, NYC)
Author of "VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life" (published by Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster, 2020)
Having spent the early part of my career working for some of the worst bosses who ever walked the face of the earth, I made it my personal and professional mission to help make the world a better place...one leader at at time. And, to me, EVERYONE is a leader in one way or another. And my job is to help uncover and unleash that leader within. I do this through my consulting, training, coaching, teaching, speaking, and writing...and I look forward to doing that for you.
What differentiates me from others in the management, leadership, and coaching space is my patented "VisuaLeadership" approach, as featured in my TEDx talk and my book of the same name. It's all about leveraging the power of visual thinking and visual communication to help you turn your vision into reality.
Let's see. Where to start? I am, by nature, what I call a "3 B's" guy: a Back-of-the-room, Behind-the-scenes, Bookworm. And, yet, I've somehow, over the years, overcome my extreme introversion to become a successful entrepreneur, public speaker, award-winning graduate school professor, and author. And, based on what I've learned, I enjoy showing others how they can become their best selves.
FINALLY!!! I am extremely proud and excited to OFFICIALLY announce the launch of my very first book!
Published and released by Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster in hardcover, Kindle, and Audible! -- VisuaLeadership is all about leveraging the power of visual thinking so as to be a more effective innovator, communicator, manager, and leader.
