Born From Necessity
While working for private companies for nearly 25 years, Jim Schiel experienced environments that were ineffective and toxic. He watched as exhausted and frustrated people were overrun by their organization and its demands. Long hours and constantly shifting priorities; a lot happening, but little being accomplished. In 2009, Jim took action and began building a company he knew could combat the chaos.
Our Vision
We see a world with leaders prepared for the 21st century, working cooperatively, leveraging change and uncertainty to the benefit of their organization and their community.
