Advisor Profiles

Photo William Morin
Chairman, CEO & Senior Advisor

"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in."
- Winston Churchill

Bill has advised numerous CEOs, Presidents and other C-level executives of leading corporations and major business units in the Industrial, Chemical, Financial, Agricultural, Business Services, Pharmaceutical and Media industries. As a recognized leader in the Human Resources consulting industry, Bill has developed many effective human resources management strategies for top corporations for the past 28 years and has personally worked with over 200 of the Fortune 500 Corporations.

"For most of my professional life, I have worked for and with executives who have or have not embraced change. Those who did went on and succeeded. They believed in themselves and those around them that they could achieve change and they never stopped believing they could. Those who did not embrace or foster change achieved nothing lasting or noteworthy. Taking risk starts with self-confidence in one's ability to make a decision. Leaders are educated into this sense of confidence. Advisors build this confidence in their clients. Leaders are made, not born."
- Winston Churchill

Bill has been a vanguard in developing the "advisorship" style of consulting to top executives. He believes that while every Advisorship(TM) assignment has its own unique aspects, the central objective is always to enhance executive performance. He focuses on building trust with the client by being supportive, but direct. His approach is highly strategic in that it focuses on planning for long-term success rather than just addressing near-term challenges. Bill closely collaborates with the executive in an objective examination of his or her leadership style and capabilities and their impact on the organization, the board of directors, shareholders and other constituencies.

For over 20 years, Bill was Chairman & CEO of Drake Beam Morin, Inc., one of the world's leading organizational and individual transition consulting firms. He has authored and co-authored 17 books and hundreds of articles about corporate trust, career management, and corporate revitalization.
