My name is Miki Saxon and I write the Leadership Turn blog for b5media, as well as the MAPping Company Success blog for my company, RampUp Solutions, Inc. I’ve been coaching executives on their leadership skills and building corporate culture for 10 years.
I use a system I developed called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that’s predicated on the belief that every outcome starts with a thought, so if you want to change results you first need to change the initiating thoughts, or, as our tagline states, “To change what they do, change how you think.™”
MAP is the result of more than 25 years of successful recruiting during which I developed an in-depth understanding of the bottom line impact of employees who are turned on-and off. I distilled that knowledge, combined it with my co-founder’s view from the top, and turned it into the framework called MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy)™ that helps leaders build better cultures and achieve stronger results.
I founded RampUp Solutions, Inc. with Al Negrin, angel, retired CEO and long time client, in 1997. RampUp’s mission is to provide startups and fast growth companies with affordable, out-of-the-box ways to improve their bottom line through employee motivation, communication, incentives and culture.
In 2003, we shifted the business model from straight consulting to a virtual coaching model to accommodate both the requests of our clients and my move to southern Washington State.
In 1993, I wrote The Swamp and the Alligators: a (slightly irreverent) guide to career planning and the search process and was named Author-in-Residence at San Francisco State University Career Center.
You can check out my LinkedIn profile for more details, although I’m open to most contact requests, I’ve learned to only accept connection requests from people I know well enough professionally to recommend.
