Su Phelps: Mr. Majar, may I ask were you in the military?
Chris Majer: I was not in the military, I was an instructor for the Army for 4-5 years and again with the Marines for a year and we did a couple little quiet projects with some of the elites in the Navy.
Su Phelps: I see so when you were an instructor what area did you teach
Chris Majer: Well we have a holistic approach to how you develop soldier’s talents, athlete all kind of in the same bundle, so we work on mind body spirit practices. How you build high performing teams and so our work covered everything from scalable hand to hand combat to leadership ethics practices morals and how you do that in a combat situation to command presence, physical fitness, we were a whole integrated unified holistic approach to training.
Su Phelps: Beautiful, that is really great so what are you doing now
Chris Majer: Nowadays we spend most of our time doing corporate work, so we do a lot of work with organizational transformation leadership coaching, leadership development, how you build effective teams just like athletes but in a corporate setting and we do the occasional work with veterans cause that where we got our start, in the military so we have a big passion for taking care of our veterans. Frankly as a society we’re not doing a particularly good job so that’s why we got an ongoing desire and commitment to work in that area.
Su Phelps: Thank you so much.
