Why He Uses the Prep Profile
John Clesen introduced Patrick to the PREP Profile last year and was amazed at how a survey so quick and simple to complete could be so accurate and detailed. Since Patrick spent over 30 years helping grow people and their teams, he welcomed the opportunity to work with the group to make the tool more accessible and widely used. John is impressed with how the profile helps individuals and teams be more self-aware, communicate more effectively, and perform better.
