About
16 years ago I left a legal career after working with big law firms in Boston. Being a lawyer was great, but I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur and had already established a passion for using personality type to improve communication dynamics. Since then, more than 165,000 people have been through our online tools and I've worked with more than 50,000 people in live sessions delivered around the world. It continues to amaze me that what we consider to be the most basic principles of effective communication are in such demand among our clients - and how consistent that demand is globally. The more we learn about personality type, the more interesting the topic becomes and the more it explains. I'm grateful to have found such an infinitely fascinating topic and to be able to devote my professional life towards it. And, it is enormously satisfying that people who come in contact with this information will not view any of their relationships the same afterwards - not just professionally, but with the spouse, kids and so on. I love share access to our programs with those who are interested in learning. And, some of the very best conversations are around personality type and entrepreneurship. I'd love to hear your story.
