Hear it from our clients

"I love the fact when you talk about my experience with Softway and Culture Plus, is even when all of that was over, you all didn't leave me. I'm thinking, because I had a meeting planned with Muhammad, but then it canceled and I literally said, oh that's the old, you know, we've already gone through this, our job is done.

Then I got the e-mail that said, oh, I'm sorry, I had to cancel. Mohammed wants to meet with you like tomorrow. And I thought, Mohammed, as if the president of the organization, I mean, that's not just a ploy. He's really going to meet with me. I'm going to clear it because if he thinks I'm important enough to actually spend real time with me, not cursory time.

I felt committed to work as hard for you all as you all have worked for me."

"So you guys are so much fun. You really are. You're really fun. But then you get into the hard work. It is uncomfortable. The hard work is uncomfortable.

The introspection that you require, the truth that you require is hard. It's not painful, but it's hard. And it's things that we have not has not been revealed to us through others who've come in and say, well, it's a great place to work and here's what you could do to better. But they always point to the work. Most vendors want to point to the work.

How do you get greater output? But it's never about the people."
