Through his past positions as a senior level administrator in under funded and overworked human service agencies, Dr. Rotman learned the need to quickly identify and use resources and to find ways to maintain staff morale and retention. This involved working with the entire system to create an environment where people felt good working. In his current work, he helps individuals learn to better manage themselves and others by examining their assumptions about themselves and the world, improving communication and relationship skills, broadening one's vision to find solutions where none may be apparent, and learning to better balance work and personal lives.

Dr. Rotman has taught Skills for Leadership Excellence and Direct Your Success for McGuire Consulting Services over the past five years. He has presented seminars to both management and line staff at companies such as McNeil Laboratories, NutriSystem, Campbells Soup, Smith Kline Beecham, and PNC Bank.
