Other Comments:

The McKeefery Group is a consultancy offering services ranging from setting up and optimizing your supply chain, to evaluating processes and procedures and recommending optimization, to providing support and mentoring to first time executives.

My role is to select and coach CEOs and business owners who seek to understand and take action on the issues that drive professional and personal growth, in order to get to the next level.  This is accomplished when members dig deep on challenging and important issues impacting their professional and personal lives.

The environment in which we operate is based on Trust, Transparency, Openness, Confidentiality, and Listening.  Clients must be willing to challenge and be challenged, and are dedicated to exceptional growth and personal accountability.

I coach and mentor CEOs and business owners.  In doing so, I am able to have a significant impact on the lives of members, their families, and employees.
