The A – Z of Team Training and the Introduction of Growth Guru Gears | May 2023

It’s been our pleasure to add Jesse DePriest to our professional Guru team. Not only is Jesse an excellent facilitator, but he has also helped us develop several valuable educational sessions and a new product called Growth Guru Gears. The GEARS are another essential element to a company’s strategy and future success. In Jesse’s words, Growth Guru Gears “...get all stakeholders thinking more deeply about processes on all levels -- MEGA (enterprise), MACRO (functional / business processes), and MICRO (where people actually do work with their eyes and hands).?Each level can / should be designed, documented, controlled / monitored, and improved.” If you would like to learn more about how Growth Guru Gears can drive your company forward, please contact me or Julie Jacobson and we can get you in touch directly with Jesse.?

As many of you know, one of Growth Guru’s differentiators is the leadership education component of our Quarterly Sprint meetings. This is the secret to Growth Guru’s uniqueness.
