THE CONSULTING GROUP offers services in strategic planning, marketing communications and organizational development.
THE PUBLICATIONS GROUP offers, The Complete Leader, an on-line magazine that can be customized for companies that wish to give their
employees continuing education tools on leadership and management skills.
YellowWoods Consultants is built on The Whole Person Technology that Don invented in 1989. Notable experts in the performance
improvement field, such as Dr. Stephen Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), describe this technology as,
"Brilliant, powerful and practical." Dr. Ed Gubman, of Hewitt Associates, the world's largest HR Consulting firm, calls
The Whole Person Technology‚ "…one of the most powerful and compelling tools available for winning the War for Talent."
The Complete Lawyer was launched in 2004. It is the first on-line magazine for attorneys that focuses solely on the
professionalism and quality of life and career issues that impact every lawyer's success and satisfaction. Contributors include
innovative coaches, consultants and authors from around the world.
The Highlands Program, 1990-2001. This training and development company was built on The Whole Person Technology. Corporate clients such as
IBM, The Coca Cola Company, Cisco Systems, Marriott International and Chase Bank have used this methodology to improve the productivity and
satisfaction of their managers and executives.
HutchesonShutze, 1980-1990. Based on creative work that won international recognition in such competitions as the Clio's, The Cannes Film Festival,
and The British Design Show, HS became one of the largest and most profitable advertising agencies in the southeast. Clients included Wachovia Banks,
Georgia Pacific, Bell South, Hardee's, Norrell and Kinder Care.
Brown's Guide to Georgia, 1971-1980. This environmentally oriented magazine, created on a shoestring budget with editor, Alfred Brown,
after he graduated from Emory University, grew into a statewide presence, while achieving a circulation that more than doubled that of the
much longer-established Atlanta magazine.
Don graduated from Emory University with a degree in Russian Language & Literature. He recently completed a screenplay and a novel and is
writing lyrics in a songwriting group—Hutcheson, Marson & Twist.
