Inspired Work
Inspired Work was founded on one defining principle: Work is the most significant relationship in a person’s life. Our goal is to change the world one person at a time. Our work is not training—it is transforming. We transform the way people feel about their lives, their work, and their achievements. We will, over time, touch everyone in the workplace and, as a result, make the working world a better place.
