activating Teams Through the Power of Choice

Imagine your team standing at a crossroads. The data is there, the expertise is in the room, yet somehow the right decision remains elusive. Conversations go in circles. People nod in meetings but walk away with completely different understandings. Some stay silent, holding back crucial insights. This communication fog isn't just frustrating—it's costing your company opportunities, talent, and momentum.

What if your team could cut through this fog and consistently make the right choice? This is what we call a "Choice Point" - that critical moment where science meets decision-making to unlock extraordinary performance.

Co-Authors and Co-Founders Joanna Grover, LCSW and Jonathan Rhodes, PhD have transformed teams from startups to Fortune 100 companies, Olympic athletes to Royal British Commandos. We don't just talk about performance - we show your team how their brains actually work during communication breakdowns and give them practical tools they can use immediately.
