We function as an outsourced training resource for small-to-medium-sized companies and as a supplement to established leadership programs within larger corporations. Joel's Program is The Inside Track on Money and Capital: Leveraging all of Your Resources into Powerful and Profitable Outcomes. In this program, Joel proves that Money is not the only capital. To lead your team to success, position money as a tool--and fuel--to fire up other types of capital. “Competing on capital” is a concept that helps you bring every resource into your decisions and growth strategies. It’s how you get to the next level of truly intuitive business leadership. Think differently about your company, your resources, and your potential. We will challenge your thinking with ideas and methods known and used by the nation’s financial elite. After this program, you will see business differently. You will see yourself differently.
