Our Team
Rising Phoenix believes in maintaining a culture of trust and safety. Personal and professional growth is encouraged and supported by our company to foster an environment of self-care, balance, and successful employee development. These values are very important to us and contribute to providing optimal services to our clients.
Our Staff are Invaluable
We understand that without qualified staff, our clients cannot achieve their desired life goals. Rising Phoenix Wellness Services acknowledges that we must be innovative by creating an environment that encourages continuing education, dedication, and best practices.
Our leadership team has completed specialized Leadership Assessments to identify unique work styles. The core evaluations of the assessments are to determine D (Dominant, Determined), I (Influencing, Inspiring), S (Stead, Supportive), and C (Compliant, Creative) traits, along with emotional intelligence, leadership abilities and axiology. An overview was then completed by Jim Hayden at Board Developer to identify strengths and opportunities for growth. We then developed a better understanding of one another to create a more cohesive culture to serve our employees and clients.
