Reframing Past Performance for Future Growth

Recently, I had the privilege of discussing business strategies with Shireen. Our conversation brought to light how closely our views and techniques are aligned. Shireen’s emphasis on boosting employee skills particularly resonated with me. Many companies miss how vital this is. It’s a viewpoint that echoes our own at Core Management Training, highlighting how skill enhancement is key to business success. Join us in this guest blog as Shireen, Maior Consultants shares these strategies and provides new insights into fostering business growth by developing employee talent.


Shireen Hilal is the CEO of Maior, a consulting firm that helps business owners and executives frustrated by stagnant revenue and margins, operational challenges, or outdated strategies. Shireen practiced law for ten years at AmLaw100 firms before pivoting to strategy and operations. As the COO of a national firm, she drove partner profits up by over 30% and achieved recognition as a “best place to work” in key markets. Shireen has also built the growth division of an early-stage consulting firm, led strategy and operations for a $1B+ division of KPMG, and spearheaded change management programs for BDO’s consulting division.
