“As CEO of a private wealth management firm, I saw how Emergenetics could add significant value to my firm, both for our staff and also our clients. Today, all staff at Providend go through the Emergenetics profile and I have also conducted internal workshops for them…every staff member now uses the Emergenetics language in our day-to-day conversation.”
