SUCCESS STORY

Design Extensions

“We’ve been in business for almost 20 years, but have started to hit a level of growth that I knew would require us to refocus in a few areas. After meeting Traci & Tom, I decided to bring in Navigate the Journey to help us through the StratOp process. We were all a bit apprehensive at first, but it turned out great. The process and meetings afterwards have helped provide clarity and process for our team that will help us achieve our goals in the coming years. It’s also added a layer of accountability for all of us that’s helpful.” JAY OWEN Owner, Design Extensions

Tom has added tremendous value to me and my leadership team. We started with the 2-day StratOp Workshop which was a great way to get the team engaged, bought-in and ultimately, on the same page. We continue to engage Tom to help us stay focused on what is most important and to act on the vital few areas that have the greatest impact on the business.

David Jones

CEO, Yesler

Tom lead our management team through a series of exercises adapted to fit our phase of business. It was enlightening to look at the company from many vantage points, and make decisions as a team about what the next 3 years will look like. We are starting 2018 with a crystal clear target, and initiatives to execute on it. It’s been so helpful to have a map, a path, and for that matter be clear on what mountain we’re climbing.

We the Collective

“Recently our business was in need of some focus and clarity around our organization, looking back at what got us here and looking forward to what’s next. Tom led our entire team of 12 people through the two-day StratOp workshops. The two days were jam packed with valuable insights and discussion and resulted in a refreshed focus on our mission and vision with the entire team aligned around it.” Jeremy Burrows Founder, We the Collective

We utilize Tom & Traci to facilitate our leadership team strategic planning retreats & companywide retreats with our fully distributed team of over 40 people. Navigate the Journey’s value is not just in leading our retreats, but also in following up to ensure we execute the plan we created during our retreats – if it weren’t for Tom checking in on us we would have quickly fallen back into our client-only focus. If you are looking for an outside coach and advisor to help your company determine how to focus and grow as a company, as a team, or as a leader, then I highly recommending reaching out to Tom or Traci.

Jody Grunden

CEO, Summit CPA Group

We are a fully remote team and gather yearly for a team retreat. We brought Tom in this year to guide us through the process of identifying areas we can improve, and charting a path to execute on that improvement. It was very well received by my team who sincerely appreciated being part of the conversation. Tom involved everyone, even the shy folks, in crafting the future direction of our company. We’re excited now and ready to take things to the next level.

Carson McComas

President, Fuel Made

Tom has been a big influence in my life through his wisdom, guidance, and his ability to partner and come alongside our business and our leadership has been invaluable. More a partner, less a vendor. I recommend Tom to any organization looking for strategic planning, guidance, and leadership/team development.

Do You Have A Vision For Your Life?

We often think of life as linear, with fixed mile markers setting our pace for the long run: Get your degree. Land the job. Find a partner. Grow your family. Build the career. Maybe even complete an IronMan or two in between. Then, over time, your relationships flex, the kids move out, and your business […]

Should Leaders Shut Down Political Conversations in the Workplace?

It’s the eve of an election in the midst of a global pandemic. My guess is that when it comes to serving up hot topics, this year your workplace is giving the Thanksgiving table an early run for its money. More company leaders are being prompted to speak up and respond to the shifting dynamics […]
