Our Beginning
CopperBeech Associates was formed in 2003 with a focus on optimizing the customer and employee experience of its clients. Since that time CopperBeech Associates has served clients in the contact center industry, general business, and the educational environment. In additon to offering its services in the area of leadership and career development in the business environment, CopperBeech Associates also offers Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® workshops for the general public as well. |
Why CopperBeech?
The Copper Beech (fagus sylvatica - riversii) and its European Beech cousins are true legacy plantings. They are described in "Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs" as "a picture of character" and "if the word noble can be applied to only one kind of tree, it would probably go to the beech." It is with this stately tree in mind that CopperBeech Associates took its name, with the goal of optimizing the customer and employee experience of its clients, ensuring that the work provided is at a high level, supporting and clevating the clients brand and helping further their organization's legacy. |
