everyone deserves a great place to work

Ask anyone, “What’s it like to work in this organization?” The response we get most often is, “Depends on your boss.” Everybody should work in a “Great Place to Work.” That’s why our company helps make great leaders. If the boss is the company, then great bosses can make great companies. Or great agencies. Or great non-profits.

Overloaded and under pressure to deliver?

Want your employees to initiate and be more strategic?

Need to influence but don’t have position power?

Looking to align a team and make it even better?

Looking to make inclusion a positive, not a problem?

We’ve got some ideas.

"My gosh, he's a different person. There's an entirely new side to him. It's really working - let's lock that in. I don't get the sense he's swimming upstream. A switch was flipped."


- CFO comment on the effect of Tom's coaching on his VP.

"Since our first connection, I've definitely learned more about myself than I have through most any other professional relationship. You are good at what you do."


- Corporate Director

"I’ve gone to lots of training in my life. I’ve never said before that this or that training has changed my way of operating and skills. I do feel like you have changed my way of managing and supervising as a result of working with you. I got so much more out of the program than I was expecting."


- Federal agency supervisor.

"I have been taking a chance on saying something, and actually have had some influence. I didn’t die, no one told me I was nuts. Since talking to you and being in this position, I’ve been taking more personal risk in coming out of my comfort zone, instead of waiting to agree with someone else who initiates. I’m actually saying something first and then others agree with me!"
