Mission
The mission of Webster Consulting, LLC is to energize the human spirit – to make a meaningful and positive difference in the lives of the people served by our outstanding programs and services. As the principal, I use my many years of experience in all facets of education at the secondary and postsecondary levels, as well as the knowledge and skills acquired in coaching, sales, motivational speaking and management/educational consulting, to inspire people to pursue worthy goals and ideals, overcome obstacles, and become the kind of forward-looking, positive-thinking people who truly value each and every day.

"The Arete Consulting Advantage”
The value of objective, confidential, third-party input from a trusted professional cannot be overemphasized. With the benefit of more than 40 years of “in-the-trenches” experience in secondary education, during which time I personally wrestled with and grew from the challenges associated with my numerous roles, I acquired a rare appreciation and deep respect for each position, and the faculty, staff and volunteers who work tirelessly on behalf of the institution and its students, parents and alumni/ae.
The demands on today’s educators, regardless of their position, are endless. Because of my vast experience, I am able to see the big picture and to use my communication, problem solving and interpersonal skills to help school heads resolve personnel issues, and do so with sensitivity to people’s needs and the school’s goals and objectives.
“A Better Choice”
I have long been fascinated by why some children perform up to, or even exceed, expectations and others don’t. Why do some people, of any age, with no more seeming advantage, opportunity or potential succeed and others fail? Could it simply be a matter of choice and those factors that influence that choice?
As the father of four adult children and nine grandchildren, I have enormous respect and appreciation for the unique role that parents play in their children’s growth and development – their attitudes, behaviors, self-image, values and goals – and the choices they make.
In the “A Better Choice” seminar (or private consultation), I use my life’s many encounters and lessons learned to remind parents of the ABCs and to help them discover how their children can perform up to and beyond expectations.
“Bag The Excuses" - Part 1
In these difficult economic times, I am constantly looking for ways to positively impact the community. A friend recently emailed me to say, “Life is good. I’m living more honestly with myself than I ever thought possible. It’s amazing what can happen when a person asks hard questions about what’s really important and what things I'm doing just because it's how I grew up.” We live in troubled times. The challenges to our country are numerous. But, as Leon Botstein, President of Bard College, says, “What’s great about the economic crisis is that it’s such a huge opportunity to rethink about what you’re doing.”
In an effort to energize the human spirit and to help people recover their confidence and move forward, I welcome the opportunity to address corporate, civic, and nonprofit organizations and to pose difficult questions that will challenge members to reassess their values, priorities, attitudes, behaviors and goals. Participants in this inspiring, thought-provoking presentation will be encouraged to bag the excuses and to make changes that will allow them to realize more personal and professional fulfillment.
