Ten Years Young, Colorado Firm Creating a New Brand of Leader

Wisdom Works Brings Personal Sustainability, Business Savvy to Leadership

BOULDER, CO--A decade ago they were ahead of their time. Now, their time has come. Wisdom Works, a leadership development firm with practitioners and clients worldwide, celebrates its tenth anniversary in February 2009. From its inception, this women-owned and operated company has taken a fresh approach to business success. Ten years later, they're still shaping leaders into caretakers of their greatest asset: people. In an era of rampant corporate restructurings, overworked and disgruntled managers, and concern for profit over human cost, Wisdom Works is just what the doctor ordered.

Founded in 1999 by Renee Moorefield, PhD, Wisdom Works distinguished itself early for its novel focus on the complete well-being of people in leadership roles. The concept, says Moorefield, is that health, wisdom, and profit are all intertwined: "Much of our work is one-on-one with individual leaders--executives at global corporations making decisions that affect people worldwide--impacting millions of dollars and incredible resources. Personally, I want people in those leadership positions to be as healthy and wise as possible!"

Beyond the unassailable logic that healthy, balanced leaders make more clearheaded decisions, the approach has never been more pertinent than today. Top executives are reeling under unprecedented stress, rising unemployment, beleaguered profits, and ebbing worker morale. The convergence of emotional wellness, physical health, and financial stewardship can not only transform an organization, it can resonate personally in leaders' lives. One Fortune 100 executive said recently: "Beyond the project, my life has been set on a different and better course through working with Wisdom Works."

Wisdom Works' worldwide clients include The Coca-Cola Company, Trinity Health, Western Union and Merck & Co. Inc. Wisdom Works' staff and licensed practitioners bring each new client a wealth of relevant, real-world credentials: they include successful entrepreneurs, high-level executives, and published authors.

Each practitioner balances client goals with past experience and visions for the future of business. This future focus is further exemplified by the company's support of emerging leaders through its Wisdom Scholars program, which provides annual scholarships for college students who espouse healthy leadership.

As Moorefield and her business partner, Nina Peterson, toast the company's first ten years of success, they look to the next decade and the emerging role of leadership. Peterson asserts "Today's top talent uses personal sustainability to bolster their ability to solve vexing business challenges. High performing companies understand and advance this strategy."
