About Glowan

“People of genius are admired. People of wealth are envied. People of power are feared. But only people of character are trusted.” ~Arthur Friedman

The Glowan Consulting Group is in the business of transforming individuals and organizations utilizing its L3 leadership development and executive coaching activities. Our network of experienced business professionals are skilled not only in all facets of developing leaders and managers, but also in operating businesses and preparing organizations to gain competitive advantage in the rapidly changing global environment.

L3 Leadership is a personal “state of being.”

This state of being reflects your foundation values. It encompasses your vision of the future and your presence in the moment. This leadership model emphasizes a state of being, which is the sum total of your attitudes and beliefs, actions and values.

• L3: Leading Others (Creating the Best Place to Work)

John Anderson and Marc Michaelson, Principals in The Glowan Consulting Group and creators of the L3 Leadership Model came together after a number of years in industry and consulting with other organizations and on their own. Both had founded their own consulting organizations and, in fact they had met several years before but the timing was not right for a collaborative venture.When, once again, circumstances put the two of them together, they decided that the time was right to do “what they had always wanted to do” — concentrate on Leadership Development and Coaching.  Now after seven years with HRmarketer.com, Kevin W. Grossman has joined Glowan as a Principal and Senior Business Consultant.

The L3 Leadership model is the foundation for virtually everything Glowan does. It is how we approach our clients and, indeed, our own business.

Leaders. Better. Brighter.™
