Fit is an interesting word in our English language and American lexicon. It usually denotes a singular focus of “fitting in.” With a team. With an organization. With a family. In other cultures however, fit can be synonymous with values, norms, customs, traditions, milestones, landmarks, and even symbols. That are often caught as opposed to being necessarily taught. If someone doesn’t know protocol or how to follow these established guideposts, then that individual will likely have a hard time not only fitting in, but more troubling, navigating that society’s landscape. And when you live outside the U.S. for an extended period of time, you quickly realize how nuanced — from a holistic viewpoint — other cultures are as it relates to their “fit” dynamic.

Huddle Up Coaching applies this same multifaceted focus on fit to provide clients with a holistic approach to leadership success. Entrepreneurs (as well as those with an entrepreneurial spirit), executives, managers and supervisors, administrators, parents, pastors, rabbis, coaches, trainers, and anyone with a desire to enhance his or her leadership pedigree can benefit from our “secret sauce” offerings. (Sessions are individually based unless otherwise noted and agreed upon.)

Lawrence Funderburke, aka Mr. Fundy, is a change agent specialist. He lives by the mandate of being comfortable with the uncomfortableness of change, a life-altering process and lifelong project that are not for the faint at heart. From abject poverty growing up in an environment of low expectations to success on the basketball court and in the classroom as a dean’s list student at Ohio State and beyond to securing life’s purpose while helping others fulfill their vast potential, Mr. Fundy practices what he preaches. He relates equally well with the four primary brain types, diverse personality archetypes, and notable leadership prototypes. A self-proclaimed anthropologist, he knows people because he has studied them for several decades — at home and abroad — as a keen observer of what makes individuals click (how to coach), stick (how to condition), and tick (how to convince). Leaders must be well versed in the three C’s to be classified as bonafide influencers.
