“PSP took a group of independent, extroverted leaders who were all used to being in charge and taught them how to work together as a team. It’s especially hard for successful people to change their behavior and adjust to new roles and circumstances, but PSP showed them the way. Allan, Dov and Judah are each superb facilitators. But, as a team, they have a magic together that transformed our board of executives.”
