PRIMES Training & Development

Cracking the Code on Group Productivity

The PRIMES are highly accessible and powerful distillations of people-management wisdom you can use instantly to achieve greater productivity and impact with your team. Dana Theus literally helped write the book with Chris McGoff, author of The PRIMES, helping him combine the lessons of his 30+ year change management career with key principles identified by gurus from Socrates to modern times. These 46 principles will up your game dramatically. [Buy the book]

Dana Theus’s PRIMES leadership development seminar was one of the best investments we made this year. In addition to giving our team great tools to manage any meeting, we developed actionable plans for difficult projects in the seminar itself that are still paying off. The team is actively integrating the techniques Dana shared with us and they are enhancing our ability to communicate and work together and across departments effectively. Dana is an engaging and perceptive seminar leader and we can’t wait to have her back! - Cynthia Richmond, Deputy Director, Arlington Economic Development
