Documented results, not promises.
Over 2,500 leaders trained across 80+ organizations, with outcomes measured in retention, engagement, and ROI. Here's the evidence.
Freshman retention: 62% to 80%
In 2012 we partnered with a 4-year college and trained over 170 students, faculty, and staff to coach. As coaching spread across campus, underperforming students started staying. By spring 2016, freshman retention had climbed from roughly 62% to 80%. That work continues today with Empowerment Success Coaches at Northwestern Michigan College.
