Who and What is behind 12 Bear Secrets?
The 12bearsecrets system was established by husband and wife team David & Hazel Santineer. We are driven by two concerns: 1) too many great results get left on the table in a crisis or change situation 2 ) too many people suffer through crisis and change. Sadly, some don't survive their latest challenge.
We're glad to work with a great team of guest presenters who share our mission: more effective, more profitable, and more personally sustainable change and crisis handling for leaders, their teams and those they seek to serve.
