From Growth Consulting to TruMindset: Mindset Mastery
The journey of TruMindset, began with Founder Ian Dyason's pivot from shipping to learning and development at the height of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1999. From there, through a series of discovery and renewal, working with professors from different universities, the 5DGM was born, and from there, we landed at TruMindset in 2027.
