OVERVIEW
Impressive or excellent performance accomplished with great skill… The name of this company is with great intention as I believe excellence comes with mindful skills that start with you as a person and leader. Tour de Force which means a feat or display of strength, skill, or ingenuity.
This work starts with you, as a leader of yourself, then you as a leader of people, and finally you as a leader of an organization.
Your body's kinetic chain is much like the kinetic chain of an organization and your understanding of the connection enables you to be your best.

Anthony Stahl - President Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center
I have worked with Dr. Susan Glover for the past seven years, first when she served as Senior Vice President of Quality at Adventist HealthCare and now as a leadership development consultant. Susan has always been committed to quality and excellence, and she brings that same dedication to helping leaders grow. Her strong healthcare background and years of experience help her understand the challenges leaders face. She asks thoughtful questions, offers practical advice, and helps turn complex issues into clear next steps. I value Susan as a trusted advisor and highly recommend her to organizations looking to develop strong leaders and improve performance.
Kim Emerson - Vice President, Adventist HealthCare Adventist Medical Group
Susan has been instrumental and helping me build confidence as I stepped into increasingly senior roles within my organization. Through our work together, I learned to move beyond self-doubt, challenge my preconceived, notions, and become more comfortable networking within and outside of my organization. Her thoughtful guidance helped me better understand myself, identify the barriers holding me back, and develop practical ways to overcome them. Having Susan alongside me on my career journey contributed directly to my promotion and growth into a more effective leader, and I highly recommend her to anyone ready to take the next step in their development.
