Capacity Update
Please note we are no longer taking wait list clients for the 2017/2018 cycle. We are at about 50% of capacity for the upcoming 2018/2019 cycle. That said, we believe we have a [splashy] hire coming in June! Stay tuned and always feel free to email us at info@spiveyconsulting.com to reserve a spot. Tell us about yourself!
