Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit " Your background and experience has been instrumental in helping me create a more productive office where people enjoy coming to work.  The ideas you have provided us have been instrumental in retaining our staff."   Garry Moss District Attorney Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit
Nicholas & Company “ We needed an easy-to-deploy, consistent and meaningful assessment. I chose Greg Smith's TTI survey because of its amazing accuracy, but more importantly, Greg's strong knowledge on how to understand this tool.  With his piercing insight, and amazing ability to coach on the results, I found we had discovered a gold mine so rich that I have designed a years worth of management training, customized to each manager, based on the information contained in each person's assessment.  If you are the captain of your ship, Greg is the trusted navigator who will get you where you wish to go." Wes Stockman Performance Development Manager
