Meet Your Instructors

Greetings! Since the early 1980’s, we’ve been guiding visionary corporate executives, military, government, and community leaders to successfully design and implement large transformational change initiatives.

The need for transformational change is more urgent now than ever. Our organizational, social, and environmental challenges require competent transformational leadership. We know that developing these skills is not easy. But we also know what it takes. In our consulting careers, we have seen what works and doesn’t work many times over.

We put lots of effort into making sure we compiled all of the best practices in transformation from the last four decades into the courses and programs you’ll find here, to give you everything you need to make an immediate difference now. It’s truly our privilege to share this knowledge with you.
