What's KILLING Your Profitability?
Organizations of all sizes invest significant amounts of time, money, and energy on improving their processes with hopes of becoming more profitable. All too often though, the things that can have the most immediate impact on profitability (as well as the lives of everyone involved) are overlooked or completely written off because those things are considered to be intangible…
Based on the 2024Â Amazon #1 Best Seller, Wes & Cindy outline the skills leaders need to master to guide their teams effectively, how to put those skills into action, and ways to measure the results.
LEADING With A CLEAR PURPOSE
Carrying the weight of leadership can be difficult in the best of time and almost unbearable in the worst of times. Identifying a clear purpose is often the difference between leading effectively and throwing in the towel. Even with a clear individual purpose, we may not be leading our teams to achieve what they're capable of.
Based on the 2025 Amazon #1 Best Seller, Wes & Cindy walk participants through practical steps for identifying their purpose and steps for providing the teams they lead with what's needed to rally around a strong organizational purpose.
How Leaders Impact Recruitment & Retention
In any economy, the best talent flocks to organizations with exceptional leadership — and stays because of it. Weak leadership drives people away; strong leadership creates a culture people can’t wait to join.
Wes & Cindy unpack the real reasons employees come and go, delivering practical steps leaders at every level can implement to dramatically improve recruitment, retention, and engagement.
Improving Results by Balancing Candor with Care
Most leaders lean too far toward candor (and come across harsh) or care (and avoid hard truths). The sweet spot in between drives breakthrough results.
Wes & Cindy share eleven powerful self-reflection questions that help leaders deliver feedback that’s both candid and caring—empowering team members to grow and excel.
Building Buy-In Around a Clear Mission & Vision
A mission statement is easy to write and frame—getting genuine team buy-in is the real challenge.
Wes & Cindy dissect strong (and weak) mission examples, guide leaders in practical application, and provide proven principles plus actionable tools to craft and communicate mission and vision—so every team member connects their daily work to it, driving true commitment and results.

Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce
We were extremely thrilled to award Wes and Cindy Dove with the Business Person of the Year Award for 2022.
When describing a successful business person, many different characteristics come to mind. Winners are risk-takers. They're ready and willing to try new things, and will usually lead the pack in breaking new ground. They have great strengths in making decisions. They reason things through, do their homework, ask others for feedback when necessary, and make their decisions based on gathering good information. Working hand in hand as a husband and wife duo, Wes and Cindy have created a network of successful leaders throughout our community. Their hard-work and dedication is commendable and deserves the highest recognition.
From all of us here at Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and everyone in the Valley, thank you Wes and Cindy for your continuous dedication to the future leaders of our community, and the hard work that you express daily. Join us in celebrating and congratulating them!
