Your Faculty Are
Technically Brilliant.
Some of Them
Hate Mondays.
The best junior colleague you lost last year did not leave because of the students or the research. They left because the departmental culture made coming in feel like navigating a minefield. TGG changes the culture without replacing the people.
The Team That Finds TGG
Is Looking for This.
It is 7:55 on a Monday morning. The department chair is walking into a faculty meeting that she has been dreading since Thursday. Two senior faculty who should be collaborating on the curriculum revision have not made eye contact in six weeks. The junior hire who impressed the committee last spring is already talking to colleagues at other institutions. The chair is technically excellent, strategically forward, and emotionally exhausted.
TGG does not rearrange the org chart or add another committee. It gives every member of that department a validated map of how they are wired to communicate, process conflict, and operate under pressure. Then it gives the team a shared language to work with those differences instead of around them.
Institutions that invest in faculty EI and communication development see measurable improvements in departmental collaboration, faculty retention, and student engagement. Programs where faculty have a shared communication language report 31% higher student persistence rates in the first two years.
Six months from now, that Monday meeting has a different quality. The two senior faculty are still not best friends. But they have a shared language for how they process disagreement, and the curriculum revision is two weeks from completion. The junior hire stopped interviewing elsewhere. The chair walked into this week's meeting without the Sunday night dread.
Francis Marion University
OTD Program
TGG's proprietary model was selected as the foundational behavioral framework for the Francis Marion University Occupational Therapy Doctorate program in August 2024. The partnership embeds DiSC Communication Mapping and Emotional Intelligence into the curriculum to meet ACOTE standards and prepare practice-ready doctoral clinicians.
This is not a guest lecture. It is a curriculum integration. Every cohort student receives the full assessment, individual clinical debrief, and group integration sessions that build the shared communication language the program uses as a clinical education foundation.
Three Entry Points.
One Transformed Culture.
Curriculum Integration
TGG embeds DiSC Communication Mapping and Emotional Intelligence into your academic program's formal curriculum. ACOTE and accreditation-aligned. Every student receives the assessment, the debrief, and the group integration sessions as part of their degree program.
Faculty Development
Department chairs, deans, and full faculty teams receive the Communication Mapping assessment and a group integration session that builds a shared language for the conversations that currently do not happen. Stop managing around the conflict. Name it, map it, and resolve it.
Institutional Partnership
For institutions seeking a longer-term EI development infrastructure, TGG offers annual partnerships that include faculty profiling, student cohort programs, departmental follow-up, and de-identified outcome reporting for institutional research purposes.
The Practice-Ready
Graduate Knows
How They Are Wired.
The clinical competencies are there. The missing piece is the emotional and behavioral self-knowledge that determines how those competencies land in a clinical encounter. DiSC Communication Mapping gives every graduating clinician a precise map of how they communicate, how they lead, and how they respond under the pressure that every clinical environment will eventually produce.
This is not an add-on. It is the foundation that makes every other clinical skill more effective. The FMU partnership is the model. Your program can be next.

From the Leaders TGG Serves.
"Leadership is about managing relationships and aligning your vision with actions that are true to your personal values and completed with integrity."
"Technical competence may open the door to leadership, but emotional intelligence determines whether a leader can sustain trust, influence people, and guide an organization effectively. Dr. Thurman's message underscores that leadership development is not a one-time event but a continuous process."
