Armando, owner of Ocean Springs Tech, built his swimming pool construction and maintenance company from the ground up into a thriving multi-million dollar business with 40 employees. However, doing everything himself left him exhausted and unable to scale. He wanted to become a more hands-off, consultative leader, build a capable leadership team, and double the company’s revenue. Yet, high turnover and poor hiring decisions were holding him back.
Through the Leadership Architecture Accelerator, Armando developed delegation skills, redesigned his organization, and built a director-level leadership team capable of driving growth. The program helped him implement systems for hiring the right people, transitioning individual contributors into effective leaders, and creating a strategic performance management process aligning every employee’s work with company goals.
With these foundational systems in place, Armando now has the time freedom to focus on strategy and growth. His team is driving the company toward its goal of doubling revenue within the next 12 months while enabling sustainable, long-term success. The Emerging Leader Program gave Armando the tools and team to scale his business confidently and effectively.

After nearly a decade as office manager, Mayra was ready to step into the role of general manager, but she faced challenges.

Her leadership has significantly improved team performance, reduced turnover, and saved the company thousands annually.
Mayra is now ready to assume the general manager role, leading a team of five directors with confidence and earning the respect of her organization. Her journey highlights the impact of leadership development on unlocking potential and driving results.
