Our Story
In 1999, Steve Baue and Allyson Extence met conducting new employee orientations and customer service training for a small healthcare system. What started as a fun and lively team approach to training has become a 20-plus year partnership in marriage, family, and business. After successful careers in human resources and communications, which included ten moves domestically and internationally, they settled down in Green Bay, Wisconsin and bought their first company in 2014. This has been followed by the founding of four more companies. Whether it’s best-in-class short- or long-term mental health counseling, outcome-based executive coaching, inspiring keynotes, insightful books, or creating spaces that become second homes, these companies and their co-workers are united by Steve and Allyson’s ultimate mission: to help.
