The series of books he is writing with Vannoy deal with the tools and concepts contained in the Pathways to Leadership program.

Angie Paccione and Steve Drury

We are happy to announce the creation of a new partnership. Dr. Angie Paccione and Dr. Steve Drury are now Directors of Facilitator Training and Development. These two (formerly) independent facilitators are joining the staff and will share this vital role. Because both are active facilitators with heavy travel schedules in addition to their director responsibilities, they will be developing a master plan for taking the training department to new levels. (see press release for more background).

Lisa, another former independent facilitator, has joined the staff as Director of Curriculum and Training, and will assist in developing and documenting new Pathways to Leadership programs. Her background in curriculum development and training lends itself to supporting her teams and expanding the depth of the Pathways to Leadership® programs.

Amanda Ross

As a Strategic Partnership Manager, Amanda is an account manager who works closely with our clients. She joined the firm after seven years as a Pathways to Leadership Certified Facilitator. Amanda, with Denise Pushnik, partner with our clients around the world, to share the economic and personal value of having a healthy, sustainable work culture.
