Years in the Making

What We’re All About

Toeing the line and minding your P’s and Q’s were phrases that made sense long ago. Now we live in a culture suffering a great leadership void, a vacuum. We could complain about it, or we could put the principles in writing and help more leaders add value to their people.

This project was formalized with the publishing of Kurt’s book, Action Leadership From the Edge, where he makes the case that leadership is for everyone. We all have a certain place in our circles where we are called to lead, and with a little nudge, everyone has the capacity to build up the people around them.

Our Vision

Who We Are

“It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.”

This was me. Thrown out of school with just months left to graduation. I had all the answers and a bad attitude, and while friends stood by me (for a while), I knew I was greatly off-center.

As I grew in the corporate world, I noticed I could make a path to success by working my tail off. I had no patience for those who didn’t follow suit. I had drive, but I didn’t have leadership. When I climbed the rungs of the corporate ladder, few would follow. I had a core of fellow driven people telling me I was right, and after all, don’t we all want to be right? That core kept me flogging away longer than I should have.

Between diving deeper into my faith and recognizing that people didn’t really want to follow me, even though everyone wanted me to “manage things,” I knew I needed better foundations. I dove into leadership study, performed case studies, and wrote the book.

My team is here to help you get there quicker.
