The Hibbert Group Implements "CatchFire"

After an employee opinion survey revealed company-wide high stress, low productivity and low morale, the Hibbert Group's President asked us to help him build a culture of creativity, energy and service.  He was clear that he did not want "another training program". 

We invited one of our strategic partners,Peter McLaughlin, author of the book, Catch Fire" to co-create something to make THG a place where people would "want to work and do their best work".

This effort became the THG "Catch Fire Initiative".  Rather than reduce stress, this program taught employees and managers how to increase their capacity to handle more stress by embracing health habits to access more energy, manage emotions and improve productivity.

Ultimately 600 employees participated and many wrote notes thanking the President for caring enough to provide ways to improve their lives at home as well as at work.

The President became the first non-family CEO for this 120 year old company and CatchFire's biggest cheerleader.

"Brian Tracy is one of the world's top speakers on personal and business success and a prolific author of learning programs and products", said David Corbin, former President of Brian Tracy International.

"Early in his speaking career, we wanted to offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to own a training business based on his materials.  We realized early on that our distributors had to succeed because without references, recruiting and hence, our funding would dry up." 

"Dave Pemberton helped us shift our strategy from recruiting people who wanted to sell our training products to people that wanted to build consulting practices based on implementing our developmental tools.  We were able to attract higher quality candidates who in turn, had a greater probability of succeeding. Dave put together programs to our consultants launch their practices and provided them with the consulting methodology they needed to succeed." 

"We were able to achieve our growth objectives and Dave became a valuable extension of our leadership team."
