Newell Eaton has dedicated himself to developing entrepreneurial leaders, teams and organizations because he believes it’s how he can best make deep and lasting change in the world. Newell believes that competent leadership in the private and public sectors is a critical ingredient for creating a healthy and sustainable future. To give focused attention to this mission, he changed his career in 2004, offering his 35 years of experience as a leader, entrepreneur and creative change agent to other leaders as an external consultant. During his prior careers Newell found success building high-performing teams and serving as a strategic thought partner and coach to senior leaders. That experience, along with an ongoing study of research findings on leadership, human performance, innovation and change, provide the basis for his expertise.
Since becoming a leadership and organizational development consultant Newell has had the privilege of helping over 50 senior leaders create more entrepreneurial organizations. His aim is to help leaders develop themselves and their teams to grow a flourishing culture of innovation–a culture where people are truly motivated. He has provided executive coaching, team building, leadership training, strategic planning and facilitation of development projects for leaders from the following fields: computer gaming, bio-tech, venture capital, pharmaceuticals, global HR, artificial intelligence, IT, real estate and executive search, along with a diverse mix of not-for-profit, philanthropic and government organizations.
Having worked extensively in both the private and public sectors, Newell has discovered that while systems may be different, leadership and team challenges have universal elements. The need to develop effective communications transcends culture or age; we are all humans with the same fundamental needs.
Newell is certified as a coach through the NLP Institute in NYC and has continued studies through the Coaching Excellence in Organizations program, a graduate program for experienced coaches operated by the Newfield Network and the Institute for Generative Leadership. He has served on the faculty for many universities and associated programs focused on leadership, creative thinking, coaching and communications, including courses at Rensselaer Polytechnic, St. Rose, the Creative Problem Solving Institute, the International Association of Facilitators and the American Society of Training and Development.
