No Barriers Leadership Program

A half, full or two day program

Neal has been the silent force of inspiration behind this business when we operated as BSSBU (Blade Server Switch Business Unit) within Nortel and the inspiration behind my starting Blade Network Technologies. I met Neal in San Diego when I was at the lowest point in my professional career. His story left more than a lasting impression on me; it changed my life.
I’ve had the opportunity to hear this great man and friend tell his story three times; and have read his autobiography twice. On every one of these occasions I’ve walked away with many valuable messages.
The mantra at BLADE – No Barriers; Only Solutions is inspired by Neal’s amazing story.”   Vikram Mehta, CEO – Blade Network Technologies

Neal facilitated a leadership program with 12 of Blade’s executives the morning after the keynote planned for an hour it lasted three because they wanted more time with Neal!” When Neal’s transport arrived for the airport, the CEO and VP got in the car with Neal to continue conversations.
In 2010 IBM acquired Blade.
This leadership program will follow Neal Petersen’s No Barriers ~ Only Solutions keynote The allotted time is customized to fit a client’s program, between 1- 6 hours and can be done as a two day program as well.
