Dr. Henman, the Decision Catalyst ®, is one of those rare experts who advises, speaks, writes, and coaches. As the founder of Henman Performance Group, a leadership consulting firm located in St. Louis, MO, she helps C-suite leaders make decisions that they must get right and can’t afford to get wrong. In more than 40 years, none of her projects has failed. Some of her clients include leaders in organizations like Avon, Emerson Electric, Estee Lauder, Kraft, and Tyson Foods.
She first studied decision-making while working on her Ph.D. in 1994. She conducted long-term original research on138 American POWs (including John McCain) who had survived five or more years of brutal imprisonment. The study, under the direction of the U. S. Navy, uncovered the pivotal decisions the POWs made to stay resilient—decisions about their beliefs, identity, and life’s purpose. These research findings have guided I’s work with executives ever since.
Today, she works predominately with business owners and those in the c-suite to help them make decisions on issues like increasing profitability, mergers & acquisitions, and succession planning. (In fact, she was one of eight succession planning experts who worked with John Tyson after his company’s acquisition of International Beef Products—one of the most successful acquisitions of the 21st Century.)
She has written or cowritten eleven books, including the following:
Healthy Decisions
Honorable Returns
The Vibrant Board
Risky Business: Why Leaders Must Develop a Disruptive Mindset
The Merger Mindset: How to Get it Right in the High-Stakes World of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Divestitures
