“I became Manager of Student Services for a Seattle-based online learning company when it was a rapidly expanding start-up. We were breaking ground in education by offering high school courses over the Internet to students across the United States. We were quickly discovering and resolving the technical and educational challenges of online distance learning. To support the students and their parents, teachers, and school administrators, I needed to create a highly creative, motivated, and effective team of employees. I asked Dr. Jim Boggs, Director of EffectiveArts, to help me build a truly outstanding team. EffectiveArts worked with us for over a year, first on a weekly basis, then with as-needed conversations. We were incredibly successful; we achieved more than I thought possible within months, and then the team continued to become more effective, cooperative, and fulfilled.”
