It’s Not Just You

Much of the time, you are not the only one feeling that something's wrong—at work, at home, in other groups—although no one might be talking about it. Nor are you typically the cause of the problems.

It's not only you. And you can learn how to better understand, control, and change your work, home, relationships, and feelings.

Organizational consultants and psychologists are trained to help people deal effectively with many of life's and work's problems. They help organizations improve productivity and morale; help improve physical and  mental health for individuals, couples, and families; and help identify and reduce persistent conflict.

Élan Associates are professionals helping organizations, groups, and individuals identify, understand, and transform those forces reducing their enthusiasm and effectiveness. Helping clients to understand and effectively control their organizations, our practical, results-oriented approaches are embedded in a concern for long-run consequences as well as immediate problem resolution.
