Leadership Development
The Submarine Way
Leadership Development through our patent-pending Inclusion model creates inter-dependence, stronger collaboration and wildly more effective individuals, teams and leaders. Measurable improvement in retention, productivity and reduction in conflict, and safety incidents are some of the key ROI's we produce.
What we do
Our patent pending system drives inclusion, which drives engagement, which reduces conflict, and drives ROI.
Virtual Learning Portal
Reinforcement is the most important factor in ensuring training is actually implemented. Our online learning drives lasting change.
Keynotes That Do More Than "Inspire"
YES to energy and engagement but there is more. Effective keynotes should plant actionable seeds and provide practical tools so that all in attendance can both learn and apply.
Executive Coaching
Without commitment from senior Leadership, lasting change simply cannot occur. Our coaching fully develops the person and the executive team.
Consulting & Training
We are your partners in leading change. We are there to enhance your initiatives and mission not replace them. We will drive lasting change with minimum disruption and maximum results.

Recent Client Results
We believe success must be measurable so we baseline nearly all initiatives so we can show quantitative results
- 50% reduction in turnover in a key employee area resulting in a $150,000 savings in recruiting, hiring, on boarding, and training costs
Identification of 38 high potential candidates not previously viewed as high potentials that we helped to develop. This resulted in the organization promoting 12 of these individuals into critical positions. They thought they were going to have to spend well over $200, 000 to recruit, hire and train from outside the organization
- Over 100 paid keynotes conducted now with 100% of meeting planners/event coordinators saying we exceeded their expectations. Yes we a re a sure thing
- We conducted a twelve-month dedicated professional development program for mid-level managers. There was a 30% increase in staff engagement. Retention increased, as did measurable productivity. The client estimated the combined cost benefits of these improvements was more than $300,000
- Creation of an integrated strengths-based, inclusion focused, mission-oriented communication plan for eight plant, general managers. They experienced a 400% increase in communication and reductions in productivity, shipping and maintenance delays between and within all eight locations
Led a client to create their first consistent on boarding process across 12 locations. A 40% improvement in job satisfaction was the result. They attributed this program to retaining 13 more people in year two. The value of this to the client was just under $500,000
What our clients say
We always strive for exceptional results and do our best to exceed our clients’ needs and expectations

Simply The Best Training
The most practical, relevant and effective training I have ever been a part of. The time they take in learning the organization and then the powerful reinforcement they build into everything they do only enhances the great training.

ABOUT US
Why we do what we do
In 2016, a Keynote speech in South Carolina, to 400 business and community leaders caused such a deep, emotional, "we need to do something with this" reaction that our founder and President, Deb Fortin, was moved to act. She left corporate America and wrote what would become the Amazon best selling book, Diversity and Inclusion The Submarine Way.

Our methodology-system-process
Our model starts with this methodology and is combined with a system and process that is so unique it has a U.S. patent pending.
Strengths Based
First focus on what is right with people, what they do best. Secondly, encourage partnering with others who are better at certain things.
Inclusion Focused
To be your best, you must include others who have talents and expertise in needed areas, but areas outside your expertise.
Mission Oriented
We replace jobs with roles, to accomplish the mission.The Circle denotes these are all completely interrelated and continuous.
Training that can change the world
Whether it is face to face, or through our Learning Management System
The Clemson Football team likes what they are getting!
Training that does not change behavior is training wasted. 90% of traditional training is forgotten within 30 days. It is called learning decay. We beat learning decay with a powerful one, two punch. First we deliver our programs with a variety of different media, live facilitators, videos and webinars. Secondly every program we conduct includes 3 – 6 months of reinforcement. So you leave training with better retention and then we work with you to ensure it is used, until it becomes muscle memory.
