Let’s start a conversation
How will your leadership team build sustainable personal and business growth?
Get your team the tools and experts they need to perform at their peak and overcome daunting challenges.

Having a resource like the Simply Successful Library to help our leaders has been huge! Leadership, task management, mindset, growth, etc – you can find what you need here. I use it to fuel my mentoring with our leadership team. Just pick a video to watch and then discuss it.

Simply Successful makes leadership development easy by finding quality information and content for their network. If I need to sharpen my skills in a particular area, I can turn to them for guidance and save precious time in the process.

Twelve years ago, when I first met Bill, I was a struggling salesperson. Today, I own and run multiple companies with over 100 employees, and I owe much of my success to Bill. He has dedicated countless hours to mentoring me, connecting me with the right people, and helping me become the best version of…

What a genius and thought-provoking concept. Our thanks to the Simply Successful team as we sincerely appreciate the great benefit in the Leadership Library. We have a comprehensive Leadership Team here at MCC that will fully recognize and appreciate this generous value and benefit.

Simply Successful has helped my company, Cohen Woodworking, with a wide range of scope from sales training to personnel challenges to everyday business challenges over the last 12+ years. One of the greatest strengths of Bill and his team is that they live up to the name and have a unique gift to make complex…

I have known Bill Prenatt for 30 years. Entering the industry, Bill shared priorities that have served me my entire career. These priorities work because with his guidance, I created personal goals and priorities for myself. These priorities have become my guiding light and seemingly now, are natural instincts for me. Early on, Bill shared…

I had no experience in the business world, and Bill assisted me with meeting the unique challenges I faced as the next generation just coming into a family business. He helped me grow from a young professional just coming into a business to a business owner and entrepreneur. He has a genuine passion for helping…

Bill’s vast knowledge played a huge role in the changes that took us from a very entrepreneurial company, to one that maintained the previous culture, yet was able to grow and expand with careful planning and targeting. Bill grew our sales organization to in excess of 100 sales people and numerous support personnel. Yet the…

I worked with Ann at Citation Computer Systems, Inc. I always felt Ann carried herself as a professional in presentation and actions. She knows her craft.

Ann Prenatt is among my most trusted advisors, standing out for her remarkable ability to comprehend the intricate interpersonal dynamics within both businesses and non-profit organizations. Her guidance remains consistently practical and reliably insightful, demonstrating a deep understanding of the real-world challenges encountered by marketplace leaders. As a coach and ally, she is naturally skilled…

Of all the valuable talent we have tapped, Bill Prenatt stood out for his ability to decipher our company’s culture and strategy quickly and without pretension. Originally hired as a sales coach, Bill’s skill for analyzing the business and inspiring each member of the management team on a personal level opened the doors for a…

Bill helped AAIM reach extraordinary sales and service performance goals by creating a new level of professionalism for our sales team. He established valuable sales measurement tools and helped us to set high standards for performance. He was instrumental in guiding us to select high quality sales representatives and sales leaders for our organization. He…

We all sleep better at night. We take guilt free, uninterrupted vacations. We’ve secured relationships with large, excellent companies who bring us millions of dollars in sales each year. In 2011, when Bill started working with us, our revenue was $4.1 million, with 35 employees. 2015-2017, we have averaged $11.5 million with 80 employees. Our…

We originally engaged Bill Prenatt of Simply Successful to examine our family owned business and make suggestions on how we could increase revenues. Bill quickly assessed our situation and offered efficient, effective solutions that reduced our operating costs and increased sales. I would quickly recommend Bill Prenatt and Simply Successful to any business owner who is…

As a result of our working together, Bill helped us better understand how to work as a team, each with our own well-defined roles, and grow our business. Now we have an Organizational Chart, Operational Standards, and an effective internal Communications System. We also have systems to identify prospect priorities, develop existing customers into client, and…

Bill Prenatt helped us build our specific selling skills (prospecting, communicating our value proposition, handling objections, closing, etc.) but more importantly he helped us understand how the sales function integrated into everyone’s role in the organization. Bill is not your typical “consultant”. He learned our business ‘hands on’ and supported our mission as a true…

I worked closely with Ann Prenatt when she served Washington University as Vice Chancellor for Human Resources. She is a problem solver, as demonstrated by sensitive and caring resolution to many complex personnel issues. She is an excellent listener and able to understand all sides in working to bring a good outcome from human conflict.…
What Is Whole Brain Leadership?
In uncertain times, THIS is what we know for sure about businesses:
When your company struggles, you likely face two main roadblocks:
- constant change
- competent leadership
Does your leadership team sabotage its own success without knowing it? How will team members get the tools they need to anticipate change and build better relationships?


Like an iceberg, the biggest part of our challenges and their solutions are unseen.
Symptoms are apparent, but we don’t see the root causes. We use only a fraction of our natural capacity to solve the problems we face.
Healthy relationships are the key to productive business systems. We help our clients sustain a culture of achievement and trust. By focusing on personal and professional growth for individuals, we see leaders begin to operate at the top of their game and transform into results-oriented teams.
We blaze a better trail to success.
Whole Brain Leadership Resources provide expert coaching from experienced and like-minded entrepreneurs.
Using proven and curated assessments and coaching resources, we help individuals develop critical thinking skills that help them anticipate, manage, and think differently.
A culture of achievement is born when managers expand their capacity and lead with their whole brain. As a result of their amazing growth, they
- Think more strategically
- Make better decisions
- Lead more effectively

Over time, we have witnessed remarkable transformations that continue to inspire us. With a better understanding of themselves and a common language, individuals can develop powerful whole-brain leadership skills. Instead of working randomly, leadership unites to create a culture of achievement and sustainable growth.

The best solutions are often the opposite of what we expected. Counterintuitive thinking and confidence are key elements in getting to these solutions quickly. As is your ability to tap into the power of your subconscious mind consciously and at will.

Glenda Woolley
What if you could tap into your greatest motivations, dramatically improve your relationships and accelerate your results? Everyone you encounter is motivated differently, communicates differently, and views tasks and relationships differently. The John Maxwell DISC Profile assessment will help you achieve greater success when you learn to value your strengths as well as those of others.

Navigating Leadership in a Quantum World
Tapping the Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Neuroscientists have measured the conscious mind’s speed to be the computer-equivalent rate of 30 to 60 bits per second depending upon the complexity of the task. They’ve measured the subconscious mind’s speed at 10 to 12 million bits per second.
Imagine the competitive advantage you, your staff and your organization will gain when all of you learn to access that power, consciously and at will.
In this program you’ll discover that the subconscious mind is the quantum element of our humanity that enables us to achieve things that cannot be achieved consciously. You’ll learn how to tap into your subconscious mind to dramatically enhance your leadership capabilities in four areas:
- Mental capacity – mental capacity increases dramatically as you and your staff employ both your conscious and subconscious mind simultaneously.
- Emotional awareness – productivity increases as you and your staff learn to convert emotions into productive behaviors.
- Energy management – you’ll discover your natural energy flow and how to align tasks to that flow to dramatically increase your productivity and that of your staff.
- Creativity – creativity requires connections between seemingly disparate concepts which the subconscious mind does more quickly and effectively than the conscious mind; enhanced creativity assures an ongoing competitive advantage.
The presenters for this program are:
Deanna Phelps
Deanna is the co-founder of the Hadron Group, an organization dedicated to applying the benefits of neuroscience to the enhancement of leadership capabilities and organizational excellence.
Dale Furtwengler
Dale is the founder of Teaching Confidence. The third level of confidence deals specifically with the subconscious mind and how to tap into its power consciously and at will.
