In that capacity he was the executive vice president of Sline Industrial Painters, Inc., one of the world’s largest industrial painting companies, employing almost 1800 employees.

That focus is accomplished in several different but allied disciplines. For contractual disputes he uses his mediation and arbitration skills, and for interpersonal conflict he uses his healing arts training in business coaching and/ or counseling skills.  He teaches leadership development mostly concerned with leadership through people skills.

Mr. Earle is on the faculty of the University of Phoenix where he teaches a graduate course on Conflict Management Systems and he also contracted with Louisiana State University to instruct management course through the state’s CPTP program.
