Steven Vannoy, author of The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children, originally founded his company, Vannoy Group, Inc., in 1992. After the success of the book, the company began doing business as The 10 Greatest Gifts Project, Inc., sharing these concepts in both the parenting, education and business arena.

Vannoy's leadership program, Pathways to Leadership, recognizes the same leadership qualities that nurture a functional family unit also build strong, successful work cultures.

Due to the overwhelming success of this program, the corporation again changed its name to Pathways to Leadership Inc..

Clients include Nestle, CIBA Vision, Owens-Illinois, Ford Motor Company, Ford of Mexico, Novartis Consumer Health, Gerber Products Company, Schering-Plough Corporation, John Paul Mitchell Systems, TP Mechanical, and other corporations, recognize their greatest resource lies in their people.

Today, Pathways to Leadership is recognized as a highly successful, cost-effective program that builds and sustains strong, change-friendly work cultures, and healthy functional families.

Vannoy and Craig Ross, co-owner of Pathways to Leadership Inc., are also co-authors of Stomp the Elephant in the Office.
