Our Mission at Omega Quest and Quest Leadership Dynamics

Mission
Building Stronger Leaders, Stronger Relationships and Stronger Teams in your Community
 
A Couple of Questions for You:
•Do you want to positively impact youth in your community?
•Do you work for a company or business that wants to strengthen its bond to the local school and families in your community?
•Are you looking to pass on leadership skills and character education to the next generation of leaders?
Quest leadership Dynamics is on a mission to connect businesses to the local schools and the schools to their community.
Company Overview
Omega Quest was developed as a passion to help youth. During my first year teaching High School, I had a student come to me and tell me that she wanted to commit suicide. I knew that I could help her see that her life was worth living. I also realized that she was probably not the only one that needed help. From that I created small “Life Warm Up’s” for my students. It caught on and in less than five years after the incident the momentum was created for a Youth Camp. That was 1997. In the last 15 years the camp has remained, but the information has turned into a Leadership and Mentor Curriculum that is now a Texas State Elective for High School Students. The most unique part of my leadership curriculum is the use of the Model of Human Behavior as the foundational piece of the curriculum. There are a lot of character and leadership curriculum's, but none have combined the character of the child with the personality of the child. Each session has been specially honed and written from 20 years of my own classroom experience. As a company we have gone from trying to save one life to now reaching thousands of students each year.
More than 15 School districts and 40 High Schools have used the leadership program in the last five years.

My mission has always been to impact youth positively and to do that you have to reach the parents. It was a natural transition to help parents learn what I was learning as I spent so much time with their children. The more the students shared the more I learned and the more I could help create connections with parents. This led to speaking to businesses. Knowing that eventually the youth I was working with would end up in the business world helped me look for opportunities where like-minded businesses had the philosophy or mission to support the local schools or community.

The second most unique part of my company has been my commitment to education. Because of the tight budgets of schools across the country, I have created a special relationship with businesses. When I work with them or train their staff, my company will in turn match IN KIND a service to their school in their community. This is my way of staying connected to the school system while creating a win/win for all involved. The company receives first class training and all of the name recognition from the local school and community.

Omega Quest and the Community:My commitment to education has now helped me connect the business world to the families and the families to the schools. I recently proposed my idea to my local school district. I have lived in the same community for the last 40 years. The only teaching job I wanted was at the High School I went to – the same High School where I started this whole journey. It has taken my career to see this dream get to this point. My goal is to do exactly what I mentioned, to work with local businesses and then match In KIND to the local school districts to impact youth. In January of 2012 I created my first partnership with Insperity a locally owned business. I have trained parts of their staff and then matched $10,000 of services over to my local school district – Humble ISD.
The relationship with Humble ISD is getting exciting. We are now creating a leadership track starting in 8th grade and culminating in a Leadership Certification for High School Seniors. This will now utilize my entire Leadership and Character Curriculum for more than 4000 students each year in more than 8 middle schools and 6 high schools. That is only the beginning, because each student is connected to a family so the ultimate impact for our community will be more than 5000 families every year for the duration of the project. The best part of the goal is that the student will Intern at the end of their junior year to practice their leadership skills by connecting with a local business.

This goal connects the youth to their family and ultimately the youth to the community. My goal is to meet that need of the local businesses and ultimately create a model for all communities to follow.

Quest Leadership Dynamics is the Leadership wing of Omega Quest and is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Our mission is to build - Stronger Leaders, Stronger Relationships and Stronger Teams in your Community and Prove the Results!
If you are a business owner and are looking for World-class training which in turn will be matched for your local schools and youth then please contact us.
 
Sincerely,
