Empower your people, transform your culture. Our consulting services harness time-tested leadership principles—with Drake P3’s science-backed tools—to unlock potential across every level of your organization. It’s not just strategy; it’s a catalyst for greatness.
Hiring great people sets the stage for future leaders and strong teams. When you find someone who fits your culture, you’re not just filling a role—you’re investing in growth. Leadership development helps those hires level up, while team building turns individual strengths into powerful collaboration. Together, it’s how you build a workplace that thrives.
Poor hiring decisions are costly to an organization. It’s estimated the cost of a mis-hire can range from 2 to 10 times their annual salary. That doesn’t account for the intangible costs associated with decreased productivity, customer satisfaction and team morale.
In today’s competitive business climate, you can’t afford to make a mis-hire. At the heart of our consulting is the Drake P3 Talent system. We leverage the science behind the Drake P3 hiring assessment with proven interview techniques to take your hiring process to the next level! Let us work with you to enhance your current selection process and make more informed hiring decisions.
The single most contributing factor to employee commitment is their relationship with their manager. Employee engagement begins with having the “right” managers in place and then providing them with tools and development opportunities to enhance their leadership skills and achieve important business results.
Leadership development requires two important components – personal motivation to develop leadership skills and an outside perspective to enhance self-awareness and accountability.
Our leader development services include personal development and group learning events to heighten an individual’s self-awareness about strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. Using these insights, a committed leader has the tools needed to enhance his/her personal effectiveness and lead a team with confidence, courage and clarity.
Let us help you develop core management and leadership skills that contribute to team and organizational success!
