Laura Drury

THE NEED:
Many CEOs and business owners are too heavily involved in day-to-day tasks and need to spend more time working "on" rather than "in" the business. But, they are worried about losing control when they delegate to team members as a result of inadequate internal systems or processes, losing money through failed business development activities, or simply not making the best decisions when faced with the many business challenges that occur every day. All these factors can cause business leaders to be stuck at a certain revenue point with no viable way to grow.

THE SOLUTION:
We help CEOs and business owners ($2M-$15M) by closing the gap between the overabundance of business advice out there and how to actually apply business best practices to their specific challenges and opportunities. With our help, business owners create practical strategic plans tied their business and personal visions. A culture of action and accountability see these plans through to fruition. Addressing these factors taps the potential of businesses so they can grow unhindered.

THE APPROACH:
The on-going, regular nature of our approach focuses executive “sweat, determination and hard work” correctly so that business growth and vision are achieved. We accomplish these results as follows:
1) Advisory board meetings with other business leaders from non-competing industries. Advisory board meetings provide a wealth of input, expertise and perspectives for solving their business problems and leveraging their business opportunities, as well as the accountability to take action and create momentum.
2) Executive coaching with an expert business coach. Executive coaching focuses more deeply on the business challenges and opportunities, on the implementation of strategic action plans and on mapping the path forward.

Greg Walker

Contract Facilitator TAB Denver East/Northeast | DTC

Greg Walker was a Senior Vice President of TAB until 1996, and is the President of PCS Systems Inc. He served in management for a major midwestern public utility for ten years, leaving in 1980 to pursue his entrepreneurial goals, becoming president of three affiliated companies — SSC Technologies, Inc., Paraphase Corporation and Pioneer Technologies, Inc., where he developed multi-media training programs to educate company representatives to analyze potential client’s needs.

Mr. Walker has been a speaker for various sales and training organizations, lecturing before large and small groups on selling, closing skills, motivational techniques and personal development.

Mr. Walker has also served as a consultant in the areas of CEO leadership, computer equipment selection and specification, database management applications and training of MIS staff.

We lost our Director of Operations abruptly, early this year – our strategic plan for the year and beyond changed dramatically with this loss. Working with TAB helped me regroup and make the right decisions at the right times – our company is doing better now than ever. The ideas and accountability have been invaluable.

In today’s ever-changing global landscape, wealth management has become increasingly more complex thus not all firms are created equal. The owners of Aveo Capital began their careers in one of the large Wall Street brokerage firms. Their individual experiences at these firms led each of them to the same conclusion. In order to truly put their clients’ interests first and to eliminate proprietary products and conflicts of interest, they had to make a change – Aveo Capital was formed. They attribute the success of Aveo Capital to the cornerstones upon which they rely: integrity, process, competence and service. They believe that adherence to these four principles will result in long-term relationships with their clients, based on mutual trust and respect.
