What is Disengagement Costing You and Your Organization?
Far too many teams are unhealthy and disengaged. This costs organizations billions of dollars, but the bigger issue is disengagement leaves leaders and employees feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. Even worse, they bring those same negative feelings back home to the ones they love.

Most importantly, our team is focused on what is most important for our customers.”
– T. Flavin, CEO Chamber of Commerce

Where does the training take place?
You provide the venue and we provide a highly interactive, participative, and engaging learning environment.
What’s needed for the training?
We are a highly professional and self-contained training operation. If you are in the Northeast Florida area, we will bring our own computer, projector, cables, adapters, speaker, easel stands, charts, and writing instruments. If we have to travel farther and/or fly, we can still bring most of these items with us, but might need your help; especially when it comes to making photocopies.
We also like our clients to provide seating arrangements that allow for personal interaction (table groups rather than traditional classroom seating).
Don’t worry, we will work out all of these details well before we arrive and will do everything we can to take the load off of you.
What’s the cost?
This all depends on the service you need, but know this – Studies show most leadership training is ridiculously overpriced and fails. Our services are not only reasonably priced, they actually work, and provide an incredible value that will transform your teams. Schedule an Appointment for a quote.
We’re really down to earth and don’t need a lot of unnecessary frills like first class seating, fancy hotel rooms, and luxury vehicles. Because we focus on your team’s needs instead of our own, we do everything we can to keep travel and lodging costs reasonably low.
