Dear Clients and Friends,
As I sit here reflecting on Blanchard's 45th anniversary, my heart is filled with deep pride and overwhelming gratitude. To think we’ve reached this incredible milestone—45 years of making a difference in the world—is humbling beyond words. It’s not just about the number of years; it’s about the countless lives we’ve touched, the leaders we’ve inspired, and the positive change we’ve helped foster.
As a second-generation leader, I owe so much to my parents, our founders, and everyone who laid the foundation for this company. Their dedication and belief in our mission paved the way for all we are today. And to our amazing team and partners—you carry this torch forward every day with passion and commitment.
I especially want to thank our customers, including the organizations we serve and the practitioners and buyers we work with, for your trust and partnership. You are the reason we exist.
My parents founded Blanchard in 1979 with three simple but powerful goals: to make a difference; to have fun; and to create opportunities for people we care about. That’s who we’ve been from day one, and that’s who we’ll continue to be.
Blanchard is more than just a company; it’s a labor of love, dedicated to helping leaders unlock their potential and create lasting change. Leadership has evolved and so have we, but our purpose remains unchanged. While the world has faced unprecedented challenges and leaders have been tested like never before, we remain committed to meeting the moment and evolving with the times while staying rooted in our vision to develop leaders powered for good.
Looking ahead, I’m confident in our future, guided by three pillars:
- Our impactful content
- Our innovative learning designs
- Our incredible people who bring it all to life
As we celebrate 45 years, I remain steadfast in the belief that the ultimate beacon of light is knowing great leadership has the power to change lives far beyond the workplace.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your trust, dedication, belief in our mission, and unwavering support. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, and we carry this legacy forward with pride, determination, and love. Together we are building something that truly matters and will continue to inspire leaders for generations to come.
With gratitude,
