Why Retina Group Services Work Differently

What makes us different is that we learned a lot, and the hard way! For 30+ years - not just a couple - we've been working and struggling, succeeding and failing, learning, unlearning and re-learning, before we felt we were ready to help others.

Here's my unique advantage that very few have: During my 30+ year career, I made every mistake you can imagine. Neither proudly nor deliberately, I just didn't miss a single one!

And I survived. Not only survived, I learned! I learned which risks are worth taking and which ones just look bold on paper. I discovered that the gap between a good idea and a sustainable business is filled with a thousand small decisions most people never talk about.

That steep, bumpy, and painful learning curve became my competitive advantage and was translated into big rewards. Presidential Awards at multinationals. Multiple client recognitions. A steady stream of promotions and results that proved these lessons worked.

Then came the thought leadership. People around me started asking for mentoring and guidance. I then realized I'd never had a mentor! I had to depend on myself for learning, motivation, and direction. I'm proud of that journey, but I felt obliged to help those walking through the same mentorless career darkness.

That's why I founded Retina Group: to be the resource I wish I'd had. To partner with business owners and entrepreneurs facing the same crossroads I once faced.

Today, I don't work with frameworks borrowed from business school case studies. I work with what I've actually seen succeed and fail in the real world, across multiple industries and market conditions.

Here's how that experience translates into services that actually work:

Business Consulting

You Don't Need More Advice. You Need Solutions That Actually Work.

Half of all clients wouldn't rehire their consultancy. The problem? Generic solutions. Cookie-cutter approaches. Consultants who've never done your job giving you advice they've never had to implement. We bring 30+ years of client-side experience across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and multinational corporations. We've been where you are. We know what works—not in theory, but in practice.

Team transformation. Market differentiation. Organizational effectiveness. Strategic clarity.

Learning & Development

70% of Training Content is Forgotten Within 24 Hours. Here's Why.

Most corporate training ignores how adults actually learn. It's designed for trainer convenience instead of learner effectiveness.

People don't retain information from boring lectures and forgettable PowerPoints. They learn through engaging experiences, practical application, and stories that resonate.

After 25+ years of designing training—and watching what works versus what doesn't—we developed the ASPIRE approach. Six strategically integrated elements that address how adults actually learn, retain, and apply new skills.

Backed by: Published books on professional development. Adult education expertise. Hundreds of successful implementations.

Event Architecture

Your Event Isn't About the Event. It's About What Happens After.

Most event companies focus on flawless logistics. Impressive venues. Smooth execution. That's table stakes.

We focus on strategic outcomes. What do you want attendees thinking, feeling, and DOING after they leave? How does this event advance your business objectives? What behavior change are you trying to create?

We architect events from strategic objectives backward—not from logistics forward. Every element, every moment, every detail designed to deliver measurable impact.

Corporate conferences that actually change culture. Team events that genuinely build cohesion. Product launches that create market momentum.

Flawless execution? Absolutely. But that's just the baseline.

Customer Centricity

Every Company Claims to Be "Customer-Centric." Almost None Actually Are!

There is a big gap between what you say and what customers experience: "We put customers first!" (But your phone system makes them repeat information three times.) "We value your feedback!" (But nothing ever changes.) "Customer experience is our priority!" (But your processes are designed for internal efficiency.) Sound familiar?

Customer centricity isn't what you say in mission statements. It's what customers actually experience when they interact with your organization. And most companies have a massive gap between the two.

We close that gap. With 30+ years leading customer-facing operations, we know how to transform organizations from "customer-centric" in theory to customer-centric in practice. Process redesign. Employee enablement. Measurement systems. Cultural transformation.

Not slogans. Systematic change.
