Typically, I meet with senior leaders to understand the issues. I conduct an organizational assessment that includes conversations with a cross-section of the organization to get a 360 degree view of the issues. Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, and theoretical concepts are used to enhance learning. I offer a plan of action to the senior leaders and a decision is reached about next steps.

Have something in mind? Give us a chance to tell you how we can help.
Sometimes a client will contact us 5 months in advance, wondering if it’s too late. Others have come in at the last minute and asked for a team-building exercise. Please contact us and let us know your timetable. We’ll let you know what we can do to help and how quickly.
Wallace Success International offers versions of team building events you may find elsewhere (personality inventories, survivor simulations, etc.) Three main components are stressed.
