Don Midgett is an authority on mission statements and vision statements; he specializes in vision driven change and the development of tools and workshops to create the required change. He is the Managing Partner of GenesisGroup Inc, a company specializing in the training and development of leaders and organizations.
During his years of strategic planning consulting with all sizes and types of businesses and organizations, Don realized that it was impossible for them to fulfill their purpose by focusing solely on how to solve current problems. His work proved a significant fact: clear and compelling mission and vision statements make it easy for a business to develop a customized strategic plan for future actions. A mission and vision driven organization accelerates its success by solving problems and making decisions based on long-term goals. This is the philosophy that underlies his latest book Mission and Vision Statements: Your Path to a Successful Business Future.
Since 1986 Don and his associates at The GenesisGroup have dedicated their expertise to helping hundreds of business owners understand how to use clear, effective mission and vision statements, success goals and strategic planning to grow their businesses. With additional skills in leadership development, strategic planning, organizational dynamics and teambuilding, The GenesisGroup has extensive experience working with government agencies, including a White House Commission for Small and Minority Businesses, new business owners, and with many privately and publicly held companies. Don personally helped a prominent government organization turn around a multi-million dollar loss in less than 12 months by implementing a vision-driven startegic planning process. Don has authored and had published over 50 articles on business, leadership, management, strategic planning and self-help.

The longest word in the dictionary? SMILES - there is a mile between the first and last letter.
Are you willing to give up what you are to become what you can be?
