I'd like to welcome you to the CARE Leadership training program and I thank you for your interest and dedication to becoming a better leader and building a GREAT culture at your place of work.

The CARE Leadership Training Program that I am offering here is the exact program that I used to create a world-class, highly productive and focused culture that attracted and retained top-talent leading to a successful eight-figure acquisition of our business.

They say motivation will get you started and habit will keep you going. I really hope that reading CARE Leadership has helped to motivate and inspire you to create a culture of CARE at your organization. While reading the book is a great first step, this training program is designed to help you and your team form the habits necessary to produce real quantifiable and lasting results.

C.A.R.E. Leadership is an engaging and insightful story of how one family used perseverance, passion, and mutual respect to build an amazing brand across North America. It is written through the eyes of the author’s life experiences, much like a storybook. I felt like I was reading an entertaining autobiography, yet the story is chock-full of leadership lessons for the business and non-business reader alike. C.A.R.E. Leadership is a ‘feel good’ business book about doing it the right way — in business, at home, or in the community.”
