Earl J. Yancy is creator of a proprietary tool that has been evaluated at Yale School of Medicine and used by companies he founded, Yancy Forums & Yancy App.
The new Yancy App has been built off the principles of a successful tool, that has been utilized in engagements with customers for years. This tool is a highly structured unique protocol that is made accessible to individuals in small Forums of 10 members. These members are committed to maximizing the use of their time together to purposefully investigate and address professional and personal problems and opportunities. They tap into their collective wisdom while transitioning from strangers to bonded colleagues.
These Forums have a documented history of voluntarily coming together and staying together.
Earl is now bringing that proven protocol to a platform: The Yancy App—designed to be easily accessible, self-moderated, and delivers the high take-home value that Yancy Forums has consistently delivered for decades.
