The world has changed, and so have the preferences of employees. Compensation, benefits, and “perks” no longer motivate people, but an investment in their future does. Failure to make this investment will come at the expense of performance, retention, culture, revenue, and profits.
Employees rarely understand how business and careers really work. They have not been trained to understand they are not paid for their time; they are paid for the Value. Their education and training did not include The Four Dimensions of Value™, nor did is offer exactly how to add outsized value in every single position. They never realized they are in control, and that the position they are in is the steppingstone to the career they want (simply by adding outsized value). With this understanding, training, tools, and support, they now have the context and “why” to show up in ways they never have before.
Backed in research and proven practice, we are trusted by Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), colleges, training providers, and employers in 24 states and counting. Not only do we drive measurable outcomes, but we also maintain a 94 Net Promoter Score (94 out of 100 participants would recommend us to a friend).
Highly engaging, relevant, and action-oriented programming that empowers people to perform better, stay longer, collaborate, contribute, and grow. In these live (never recorded) workshops, your team members learn how the world works, what really drives success (adding value!), the Four Dimensions of Value™, and exactly how to immediately add outsized value in their current role. In a matter of hours, career ownership increases, focus intensifies, and the tools and support for ongoing contribution and growth are in their hands.
Based in research and proven in practice, this is a simple, yet powerful process builds ownership, agency, motivation, action, and outcomes.
We take a scientific approach to shift mindset. We take them through an proprietary process to remind them that they are in charge, not only of their careers, but of their performance and growth. We simply and powerfully reveal that adding value is their vehicle for success and growth, and exactly how to add extradentary levels of value starting now.
We help them align the value they have to offer to the value that is required to perform extraordinarily well in their role and make the greatest contribution. They work with their supervisor to validate exactly what extradentary value looks like and they develop scorecards to measure their own value in real time.
With understanding, alignment, intention, and powerful tools they can perform better, stay longer, and contribute more. They emerge with the power to turn their current position into an opportunity to show you what they are made of, benefiting them and your organization in enduring ways.

We learn from a young age that if we work hard and keep our heads down, we will earn increasing responsibilities and pay. That used to be true when businesses felt a greater responsibility to nurture and grow their employees. But now that everything is in service to the short-term bottom line for stockholders, the rules have changed.
The world of work has changed. Few people graduate, climb onto the career ladder, then climb off decades later from a higher rung with a golden retirement watch. Most people work for many companies, in many industries, and under many different terms during the course of their careers.
Golden watch pathways have been replaced by lower pay jobs and less opportunities for career growth. Others have been broken down into small chunks of contract work. This puts people at constant risk of stagnating or even sliding backward. The middle class is shrinking, and no one is immune.
All of this means that ordinary people are able - and really, required – to shape their own career pathways.
We understand what it feels like to struggle and are here to help you make that struggle a little easier and the payoff for your work greater.
We teach workshops that will help overcome that struggle and find new direction, focus and fulfillment in your career. From getting jobs, performing well at jobs, advancing, doing freelance work, to starting a business, our lessons will give you the tools you need to succeed in the modern economy.
Our programs are designed to help you take control of your career with a step-by-step action plan customized for your success. We will equip you with the mindset, tools, and action steps to move from where you are now to a career you can be excited to wake up to every morning.
