What Our Clients Are Saying
“The Navigate the Journey team is a true partner! They became part of our business, learning who we are, what makes us unique and has helped us dive deep into culture issues that used to be causing employee disengagement. Since working with NTJ we’ve clarified team roles, acted on employee feedback and we’re coaching our team on leadership and client effectiveness.”
— Adam Hale, COO, Summit CPA Group
We engaged Tom to help facilitate strategic development and growth of our organization. Our plan is to double the size of our organization in the next 4 years and Tom has been an instrumental part of helping us to develop the structure to make that happen. His expertise is getting us to a point we could not have gotten to on our own.
— John Kirsch, CEO, Kirsch CPA Group
I highly recommend Tom to any business leader that fights the battle of gaining clarity and focus on the most important issues facing the business rather than getting consumed in the whirlwind of day to day activity. Over a short twelve month time period Tom taught our team the process that has given us the clarity and focus on the main issues, which has benefitted the business and our peace of mind as leaders.
— Bart Krisle, CEO, Tennessee Farmers Cooperative
