The founders, all doctoral level team performance coaches, Dr. Scout Lee, Dr. Carol Annie Washburn, and Dr. Jan Summers, lead this small, women owned business. Known internationally, their unique experiential approach has been featured on all major television networks, in hundreds of articles and in four books.   Vision Us, Inc. training is engaging, profitable and directly transferable to the "real world" . Many training companies convey principles and skills designed to improve performance, yet rarely does training make a lasting positive impact.  

Ongoing research, pre-training consultation, custom tailored programs, and follow-through ensure each training is relevant, enduring and on the mark. Training Choices are offered in a variety of styles and locations to best match your desired outcomes.  Vision Us, Inc. coaches also travel throughout the world for on-site delivery of services.



Training Model:

Vision Us, Inc. is known for development and utilization of The Excellence Principle™. This training model teaches you how to quickly identify and grow individual talents and team strengths. This technology is proven to consistently (1) grow what works, (2) provide documented desired results, (3) be a DO IT model and (4) fully engage participants.


In addition “Tracking” ™ is taught and utilized. Tracking™ is the ability to observe and reflect individual and team success strategies. Excellence is most useful when it can be predictably repeated.

Upon completing a precise and brief inventory, you will gain specific information about your strengths, stretches and how to best support consistent peak performance. Team members exchange this information and gain immediate insight about working more effectively and profitably together. The positive results are instantaneous. “Not taking it personally”, becomes real as you understand the impact of different styles and tendencies. You come to truly appreciate and utilize the talents and diversity of your team.

Based upon the findings of the Gallup Poll in their research of 101 companies, 1.7 million people, from 63 countries over 30 years, we know the Excellence Principle ™ is directly on target. Vision Us, Inc. has been tracking and utilizing talents for 27 years. We appreciate the in depth research that supports the validity of this focus.



Training Style:

The trainings are strategically designed to imbed interpersonal excellence and positive morale throughout your company or organization. Enjoyable, outcome driven and life changing this training adventure will be talked about and utilized for years. Whether training occurs at a luxury retreat setting, an 80 plus acre gaming field, a hotel ballroom or a traditional seminar room you will experience the full impact. This is definitely not role-playing or power point. You are “in the game” full out. Anyone, regardless of physical abilities, can participate and add value. You only need to possess heart, vision and the confidence to claim and celebrate your excellence.

To succeed in the exhilarating experiences, participants have to identify and utilize their individual and team strengths. The bonus, you actually have fun while demonstrating the skills and attitudes that directly increase positive morale and success. We devote our talent and unwavering tenacity to make sure you get the premium training experience. Your satisfaction is guaranteed

Since mutually beneficial relationships are key to ongoing success, the excellent companies and organizations focus on getting the “people thing” right. We help people join together to create an environment that energizes positive morale and inspires people to do their best every day. Positive relationships fuel morale. These relationships are seldom established while setting around tables and talking about connecting. We learn how to relate more productively by gaining insight about one another through interactive experiences. Our training team offers you the coaching, tools and feedback to systematically grow individual and team excellence. Utilizing people skills, vision, alignment, and focus are imperative to excel in any “Challenge of Excellence” training. You leave pumped and owning the skills necessary to elicit and sustain peak performance.


Follow-Through:

To insure long-term implementation, our training team expertly guides the process of creating “Team Pacts”. These pacts make sure that skills, agreements and action plans covered during the training are wired to the ground and implemented. “Buy In” is vital for activating and sustaining achievement. Precision, clarity, action and respect form the foundation of these pacts. Clients consistently report an increase in ability, motivation and accountability for achieving desired outcomes. With our support, you make the commitment to continuous improvement and to the celebration of achievements.

Your team also learns how to update and create new pacts when the need arises. Our model insures that pacts are shared with additional team members, and are used as a map for follow up sessions to measure progress and if necessary guide mid course corrections. You have the tools to pass on the training gems in writing as well as through your behavior.
