I just spent the day with Mike Kerrison and his team at Endurance America. We were in Minneapolis providing corporate education and leading change within a very large medical insurance group. This was the third event, with over 100 employees and middle mangers attending a two day training session.

Mike's team is fantastic - he has put together a group of energetic, exciting people. Together they lead the group through trust building exercises and dynamic thought provoking lessons. On day two the real learning starts. Once the group can trust each other, a town hall style discussion ensues, with the employees themselves creating the agenda for change.

It's the employees who begin to create the company that if it existed today, would put their company out of business.

Mike wrote a great book - avalable here at Amazon - "Landing on Your Feet: A Story of Business Mistakes." Mike has had an incredible career - from Rookie of the Year at IBM, the successful launch of one of INC. Magazines fastest growing small companies, and the incredible growth and eventual sale of three start-ups. I highly recommend it.

I met Mike through one of his partners - The Lantern Group - another great group of team building and compensation specialists.

If you are interested in leading change within an orginization, please don't hesitate to contact us.
