About Us
roadSIGNS began in 1997 as a result of our understanding that we had been going through life on autopilot.
We realized that it was time to change and to become more consciously aware of the many signs that we’re crossing our path every day.
Our personal experiences along the way have led us to developing our coaching and facilitation approach, focusing on leading individuals and teams through the process of self-discovery.
The process of self-discovery allows individuals to assess, embrace and leverage their strengths. Using psychometric evaluation along with coaching, individuals discover and live from their full potential.
