Starting points matter.
And this year, the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance (KCHP) had more than its share of celebratory “first” moments. From the grand opening of our doors at The 885 to finishing our first major case study as our innovative Level UP program helped guide the Bucks Gaming esport NBA2K league team to victory—the year was full of celebrations and milestones.
And we’re just getting started.
AT the KCHP, we always begin with the end in mind. What that means, is that we focus on the goal we want to reach … and we navigate the best path forward. Potential made possible starts with clarity about your goals, and happens as you develop the know-how, grit, and game to achieve them. Our singular purpose is to support that transformation.
It’s a remarkable journey. And we’ve experienced a good deal of it ourselves during the past few months.
