Core Philosophy

Three principles that define the Polaris approach to leadership.

01

Relief

Too many leaders carry burdens they were never meant to carry alone. Ron's purpose is relief-for the leaders, and for the organizations they serve.

EXECUTIVE COACHING
02

Presence

The leaders who last aren't the ones gripping tighter. They're the ones who stay grounded when everything else is spinning.

TEAM DEVELOPMENT
03

Cause

People work hardest for a cause. Ron helps leaders find it, articulate it, and build environments where people actually want to give their best.

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

People work hard for money. They work harder for a good leader. But they work hardest for a cause. When leaders align culture around that cause, people don't just give their hands and their back-they give their hearts and their minds.
