For Jeff Chenevey, it didn’t happen in a boardroom or during a high-stakes programme—it happened in a client office, watching a colleague take his final breath. In that moment, everything sharpened. What matters. What doesn’t. What lasts. The Underdog Who Chose Challenge Jeff’s story...
A year ago, we started something small. Before you’re an expert, you’re a human.
