VP Chip Thero and President and Master Coach Jennifer Long

Our mission is a simple one. We believe that everyone should have a fantastic manager and leader – work for one, be one, or sometimes both. So we partner with companies to help hire and develop outstanding (highly skilled, relationship-centered) managers and leaders.

At Own Up!® we believe that your people are the heart and soul of your business.
We believe that workplace relationships matter and that everyone you hire is not just an investment but an extension of your mission. We believe your management team is responsible for a lot of the heavy lifting that makes your company a screaming success. And we believe your leadership team is responsible for a compelling vision and effective strategy to realize real growth, real change or both – creating the future of your organization.

Don’t just be in business. Be brilliant!

We are here to take your outstanding, top-notch, high-performing management and leadership potential and make it possible.
