About Felix Pola

After years of driving operational growth (including 168% above-target performance as COO) and developing leaders at FranklinCovey, I have pivoted to my \'Side B.\'Through Side B Perspective, I partner with Executive Boards and HR Leaders to bridge the gap between \'Hard Ops\'(efficiency) and \'Soft Ops\'(people). My focus is helping organizations prevent leadership burnout and drive sustainable performance by operationalizing human behavior.I am currently serving clients in the US and Puerto Rico.
