Leadership and Team Development
“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” -African proverb
If you are experiencing friction, confusion and underperformance on your team or in your work we can help. Friction can fade with greater understanding of yourself and others. Confusion can fade with clarity of communication. Underperformance can fade as you find personal and professional core value alignment.
We are currently coaching institutions in the New Technologies for Ag Extension and EXCITE grants, the 1890 Extension Leadership Academy and our members across the country. Let us help you go farther faster!

Ever wonder how ideas spread? Where we sit on this scale depends on the “thing” or idea & our values. 250,000 people showed up for Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech. How many people would have shown up if he’d given a “I have a plan” speech?
