My Whys

My Whys - from TEP’s founder “Dr. Vic”

This work is my calling: To develop leaders is how I fulfill my life’s purpose and my soul’s contract.

With the founding of TEP, all of my life experiences, gifts, and education (business consultative, academic, humanistic, technological, innovative, artistic, and spiritual), have been integrated into one holistic approach to help activate and energize leaders, who will then transform their organizations and the world.

There’s so much dormant energy and unused potential in people and organizations.

Once leaders are anchored with their innate capabilities, passion, and energy, they can create a positive cycle, where people want to come to work because it makes them feel whole, and at the end of the day they bring that positive energy home to loved ones.
