Most of you were promoted to or became supervisors, managers, or leaders because you were outstanding "doers”. When taking on leadership, you quickly realized that being an outstanding leader requires you to use a whole different skill set than you did previously.

Prior to founding PeopleWorks, Inc. in 1998, Kathy Peterson was a management development specialist at a Fortune 500 company (hint: they had cow spotted boxes). Kathy started PeopleWorks because she realized that there are many organizations (and leaders) that can benefit from great training - without a full time training staff and from an "outsider” looking in. Over the last decade, she has had the opportunity to work with a wide-variety of clients and industries, as well as thousands of people from all over the United States.
