I recommend all teams invest in the Everything DiSC® assessment and follow-up session. For me, Everything DiSC® confirmed a lot of what I knew about my leadership style, but using it as part of our team building is where the value really lies. … Everything DiSC® helped us navigate and better understand each other’s go-to work behaviors, which helps avoid misunderstandings.

Jane Clark is an absolute gem and has always served our organization well. She and her staff, invested time getting to know Urban Land Interests, our people and our values. She combines that familiarity with her employment law expertise to deftly guide our organization through employment matters, often serving as a strategic advisor and thought partner for our executive team. Her staff is incredibly strong, reliable and very pleasant to work with. I value our partnership and highly recommend this firm.
