About
The Open Gate Story
People have complicated lives. For the business leader, managing and leading people can, at times, be a frustrating and costly distraction. Leaders in small to medium size business often lack resources to hire a team as a large company would. Employee Resources, Training, Organizational Development and Employee Assistance support seem out of reach. Business to business providers tend to ignore the small to medium business client.
At Open Gate Consulting we saw this need and are dedicated to small business leaders and teams. Through our extensive experience in human resources, behavioral health, organizational development, and operational leadership, we have a deep understanding of what makes people tick. This unique blend of experience creates a profound difference for our clients. We become a trusted guide to navigate the complexities of creating and sustaining a winning team and a partner who has your back.
Our Vision
People are at their best when valued and given the chance to contribute. At every level of an organization, we want your team to have access to the skills, resources and feedback needed to succeed in their personal and professional goals. Your team will enjoy greater confidence in handling life’s challenges and reaching their dreams.
