Why Work With Me?
My work with leaders and managers is guided by two thoughts: an unshakable belief in the good and that all aspects of our living have meaning even when not meaningful. I talk with people in this country and in others; people of different experiences, occupations, cultures, race, and beliefs at differing stages of life and pursuit. The joy of this work is meeting people where they are and helping them get where they want to go without being prescriptive but helpful. A particular joy is enabling leaders to more fully come into their influence, gaining new insight and value for their service .

“I scheduled a coaching session with Dr. Salyards and it was amazing! He was caring and compassionate. Better yet, he encouraged me to step back and reevaluate my passion for this project. I can tell you that in one hour, I rediscovered what I wanted to do this in the first place. If you haven’t already, schedule some time with him. If you have, schedule another.”
