“We chose Accord Strategies as our U.S. partner because of their intelligent and effective approach to business consulting and their industry expertise,” said Sofia Costa Quintas, founder and chief energy officer of Ask for Alchemy. “Accord is a fast growing and creative firm in the U.S. that offers substantial executive and other types of training programs.

The Ask for Alchemy programs are a departure from average leadership development programs that are highly tactical and focused on building a distinct set of skills. The Ask for Alchemy approach is holistic and encourages individual awareness to promote motivation. The AFA method develops in team members and leaders the necessary skills to stay nimble in today’s business environment, while cultivating effectiveness by focusing on well-being and personal growth at all levels. The custom AFA programs are grounded in real world organizational demands, and are built to tangible and measurable action plans that produce immediate and long term results.

“At Accord Strategies we were looking to expand our capabilities in our leadership training programs in a new and innovative way as we found the old training methods were no longer as effective in the current explosive business environment. We were completely transfixed by the unique perspective and effectiveness of the Ask for Alchemy training methods,” said Amy Simon, partner, Accord Strategies. “Today’s global economy and multicultural environment demands a unifying corporate language, one rooted in common human experience and understandings, one that teaches us to grow and change quickly in the volatile market place, and a constant 24/7 information cycle. The Ask for Alchemy method crosses culture and business styles, and provides a common language to motivate and inspire corporations to achieve excellence.”
