“We've received wonderful feedback running the History of Consulting curriculum in our co-op. The chapters are beautifully written and make the industry’s history clear without hagiography. Troy taught several sessions in person to refine the material and make the course truly spectacular. The PowerPoint slides and chapter readings kept our students engaged and eager to learn.”
Julie D.
Founder & Director, Cornerstone Academy
“My son was genuinely excited to learn with History of Consulting. The chapters took him through how advice became an industry, and he stayed fully engaged from beginning to end, often sharing what he learned at the dinner table. The biblical integration makes every lesson meaningful. Troy's in-person teaching helped make the course exceptional.”
