Wingspan Performance

Bold Caring.
Powerful Partners.

Our clients aren’t looking for shortcuts or a quick fix. You’re playing the long game, and so are we. Learning and exercising high performing behaviors takes time, especially in a demanding work environment.

It’s rough out there on the field of business and a one-and-done, flavor-of-the-day training doesn’t cut it. The Wingspan Performance System™ focuses on repeatable practice so you consistently bring your personal best to the game — and WIN.

Leaders we work with say they love that we’re down to earth, forthright and support them with bold caring.  They’ll tell you, “It’s like no other training experience I’ve had before. It just works.”

Whiskey Blue

Snuggly Mascot

Whiskey Blue is that special dog who knows how to lean into you for affection, whether she is standing, seated, or laying down.  Her favorite place to be is smack dab in the middle of any hugs or snuggles. .  She brings the (usually) mellow ying to Chili Pepper’s high energy yang.  Whiskey is widely recognized since that dog in the “The Little Rascals” looks a lot like her…and she’s cool with it.

Chili Pepper

High Energy Mascot

Chili Pepper is like no other…she keeps the Wingspan office full of energy and reminds us that when it’s quiet, there is probably trouble brewing.  Her two modes are 500 mph or sleeping, and she is learning from her sister how to be a good snuggler and movie watcher.  Just don’t forget to throw her some popcorn!
