“What choice can I make and action can I take,
in this moment, to create the greatest net value?”
The above question is not just our message to the world. It is what we strive to live by as individuals and as a company. It is our core value and all other values (i.e., compassion, trust, honesty, integrity, quality services beyond expectations, accountability, and partnership) stem from this core.
Our mission is to help people unleash and develop their natural capacity to accurately answer The Central Question in every aspect of their personal and professional lives.
Our vision is a world in which all people are living and mastering The Central Question in their families, organizations, and communities. Such a world will suffer far less and achieve far more.

Sugar Land / Houston, TX
Traci attended Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry and a minor concentration in Sports Medicine. She was captain of the women’s basketball and women’s track and field teams. It was there that she developed a passion for personal development and discovered that her mental game had to be as sharp as her physical game. Upon graduation, she went on to further her studies in Athletic Coaching and Sports Psychology at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. She became an assistant women’s basketball coach at Otterbein College and later the head girls’ basketball coach at Columbus Academy.
In 1992, Traci joined Abbott Laboratories, Ross Products Division as an analytical chemist. She was quickly recognized as an innovative leader and promoted to a role that was commissioned with starting a consumer products quality assurance laboratory. Her knack for innovation led to an automated laboratory that utilized a robot to prepare samples instead of large volumetric flasks and beakers. The result was a 450% saving over the previous cost of testing.
Traci quickly became an expert in the field of laboratory informatics and left Abbott in 1998 to join Taratec Development Corporation, an IT consulting company that specialized in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. (This company was acquired by Patni Computer Systems.) At Taratec, she led productivity and quality improvement projects for 3 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the United States.
In 2001, Traci was recruited to Digital Consulting & Software Services, Inc. to become the director of the Life Sciences consulting practice. In 2003, she was promoted to director of all consultants (100+) at DCSS which included the national Life Sciences practice and four local business units in Houston, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Atlanta. It was in this role that she instituted a leadership development program and recognized her true passion for growing corporate leaders.
In 2005, Traci started her own coaching and consulting company using the principles and practices of neuro-axiology. In the past 5 years, she has spoken at more than 100 events in 5 countries about the practical application of neuro-axiology. She has coached and trained over 10,000 people and is proud to join forces with Pete and Harvey to share this unique, strengths-based approach to growth and change with thousands and thousands of others.
