Yarko Sos Founder, Executive Vice President
Teams go from good to great when:
You focus on people’s strengths, give them a goal, and let them use their skills appropriately. Only then, you can achieve greatness as a team.
The 'Check-6 Difference' lies in:
Our staff of military veterans.
Unique to other business consultancies, our coaches all have significant military leadership experience in high-hazard operations, making them uniquely qualified to help business clients improve their performance, and it’s one of the reasons we’ve paid over $100 million in wages to veterans of multiple nations.
Greatest lesson learned from consulting teams across the globe:
Successfully changing an international team’s culture requires local expertise and knowledge.
When Check-6 began using all local coaches, or at minimum language speakers, we saw better results with our global clients than when we simply paired an ex-patriot with a local coach for training.
As one of the company’s main leaders, JJ is out in the field doing whatever it takes to keep Check-6 growing and moving forward, from keynote presentations to business development, client coaching delivery, and training of new coaches. He also manages Global Business for the company’s biggest client, Chevron, and works with regional VPs on business development and product delivery.
JJ is a sports fan at heart, so outside of work you’ll often find him at a golf course practicing his swing or cheering for his favorites at sporting events.
Words of Wisdom: When you take on a new position, identify and train your replacement. That way, if a better opportunity for you comes along, you can confidently tell your boss who is ready to take your position.
