In a sales and incentive free environment, with only a handful of paid staff and about 40 volunteers, their productivity is fantastic.They are truly one of the brightest lights in the northern Atlanta suburbs. They distributed nearly 300,000 garments and 376,000 lbs of food to more than 15,000 needy families, in 2017. Their commitment to helping people overcome their circumstances is truly a much higher commission they strive for. I've been to their site numerous times and I have never run into a grumpy volunteer.

This project challenged me because of the manager's various educational backgrounds. The material had to be effective, applicable, & understood in a timely manner. We crafted content that was easily absorbed by the attendees but not overwhelming. It also challenged me from a cross-departmental perspective. I needed signoffs by stake-holders up to 4 levels above me, and from multiple departments including HR and Operations. I was challenged on the backend by the data analytics. I was responsible for ensuring the material was retained, and when it wasn't, to implement strategies to improve retention. I learned how to balance many people’s & department’s interests and how to navigate my stakeholders’ perspectives to ensure I was producing effective results. Most importantly, I learned that effective communication prevents many headaches. Show less

Building upon the foundation of analyzing & advising businesses, our reputation of “no buzzwords, in your face honesty” is quite well known.Typically business owners, entrepreneurs, or CEO’s / Sr. Vice President’s are too close to what they do, or what they are told, and are both blindsided & distant from what really happens in their business.TEG works from a trans-personal psychology based execution of review, we use MBTI, and constant restructuring & continuing development of a company. Our methodology is not that of termination of staff, although it can be, but instead finding what's working & what is “made to work.”Our simple goals: ✔ Increase sales productivity & market share ✔ See from only the customer’s point of view ✔ Create Brand Ambassadors / Culture Evangelists ✔ Become more profitableMost plans & businesses fail due to a lack of execution. At TEG we believe:✔ No business plan lasts for more than 6 months✔ That plan is in constant flux✔ Should be fluid by definition✔ Key steps in a business focus on execution and accountability.
