Who We Are
Peak Experiences was formed in 1992 to help individuals by delivering powerful learning solutions for organizations, leaders and practitioners who have a clear stake in accelerating their individual and collective effectiveness. Through the use of our globally-recognized tools from Human Synergistics, administered locally by our associates, our clients are able to measure what many assume to be unmeasurable — individual behaviour, group styles, organizational culture, and the impact of these factors on effectiveness and performance. By doing so, we enable individuals, groups, and organizations to initiate changes and realize their potential.
Our business is about constructive development. We facilitate behavioral change that leads to increased individual, team, and organizational effectiveness. Our long and successful relationship with Human Synergistics Canada along with our home-grown programming allows us to help teams, organizations, and their members to measure and improve leadership and culture and to increase organizational performance and sustainability.
