We help you learn the skills you need to thrive in work and life.
Our Why
We want to see others have a better life and fulfill their potential.
Too many are held back because they are missing a few key skills. When they learn it, their lives and work begin to thrive. When their lives get better, their organizations, businesses, and communities flourish. When that happens, the world begins to flourish as well.
As seen in:
Too many people are stuck in 1st gear with the parking brake on…
…and they don’t even know it.
They are driving through life wondering why they are going so slow, why they can’t reach where they want to go, and why they see others passing them by.
They are lacking the skills they need.
Too many people miss out on promotions, raises, and even jobs because they lack these skills.
In fact:
- In one study, 93% of employers said that soft skills were very important or essential when making hiring decisions.
- A LinkedIn survey found that 59% of 291 hiring managers “believe that soft skills are hard to find.
- In just the IT realm, “67% of HR professionals say they withheld a job offer from a talented IT candidate due to a lack of soft skills.“
Businesses hurt, too
When employees lack these skills, productivity is lower, turnover is higher, and profits and business impact falls behind.
