Description

A story, ability to learn, and a moral dilemma. A strong female protagonist, Lindsay Thompson, is the Senior Vice President and General Counsel trying to save her Architect and Engineering firm from financial collapse. She soon discovers the end of the firm isn't their biggest problem. Lindsay finds herself in the middle of an investigation into a scheme of embezzling funds, blackmail by a disturbed young man in his twenties, and murder. When she finds out who is responsible for the crime against the firm, she discovers that truth is complicated. She faces a moral dilemma of whether or not to help this embezzler who committed the crime. Nothing is exactly as it seems and it's up to Lindsay to figure it out. In the middle of drama and tragedy, Adam Bennington, a fascinating and successful consultant is hired to facilitate this executive team through a basic set of steps, measures, and tools to save them. PS Kellihan has been successful in meshing this non-fiction training and an enthralling story filled with drama that brings people together in alliance rather than accepting adversarial positions as being good enough. The fictional story takes us on a journey that demonstrates the power of relationships, connection, communication and trust. The learning modules feature gut wrenching exercises diving into the personal lives of colleagues, exposing vulnerabilities, daily challenges and burdens and accelerates to deeply personal discoveries transforming this group of human beings into people with a different perspective when they walk out of that experience.
