---------------------------------------------------

There will be on-the-job training initially regardless of the position within our company. Our work focus primarily on business strategy, project implementation, and specialized Toyota-style coaching.

Our brand new office is located in south Vancouver near the airport because many of our clients are from international locations and therefore will be flying into Vancouver to come and see us. Many of our corporate programs and events are also held in downtown, typically at Terminal City Club - one of most prestigious business facilities in Vancouver. The remaining programs and events are held in various locations throughout the country. For example, our next series of events will be held in Terminal City Club in November, Hawaii in February, Japan in April, etc.
