Dirigo: (latin) “I lead”

Dirigo was founded by Tim Hebert, a serial entrepreneur, leadership development coach, keynote speaker, and author of The Intentional Leader.

In growing the firm, Tim hand-selected Erica Davies, Garry Foisy, and Dave Ramsden, executives with whom he had collaborated in the past, each of whom brought unique skillsets to the table. Together, we work to help everyone reach their full potential, because everyone has the potential to lead.

OUR SERVICES

Businesses, organizations, and people have this in common: they’re not static entities. As they evolve, they pass through different stages of growth. And with each new stage comes new challenges. If people and their organizations want to thrive, they need to develop new skills and capabilities. However, that simple fact can be hard to notice if you’re looking from the same vantage point everyday. At Dirigo, we can bring a fresh perspective, education, and consulting to change the dynamic and get your people and your company to the next level.

Leadership development programs for individual contributors, new managers, and executives

Interactive workshops to explore topics like leadership, accountability, and organizational growth

Keynote speaking and breakout sessions to set the tone for an outstanding conference or event

Leadership and business consulting to enable both people and companies to achieve strategic goals
