What Mindspring Consulting does

MindSpring Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, woman-owned small business founded in 1994 in Asheville, North Carolina, that delivers leadership development and training services. The firm's core offering is the Center for Integrated Leadership curriculum, built around copyrighted proprietary tools (Leadership RoadMap© and Leadership Box©) and the Anthony Gregorc Adult Style Delineator assessment framework. Services are organized into four revenue streams: customized corporate training programs (delivered on-site, at the Asheville facility, or virtually), individual coaching, GSA contract services to federal agencies (contract GS-02F-0132V, held since 1999), and open-enrollment workshops priced at $695 per person (e.g., the April 2025 Conscious Leadership workshop).

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal/state government agencies, Fortune 500 enterprises, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and small businesses/non-profits. Named engagements include USDA Forest Service (where the Leadership through Emotional Intelligence program became a national model), Mission Hospitals (10+ years), SPX Corporation (organizational redesign and divestiture), and the NC Teaching Fellows Program (nearly 20 years). Distribution spans on-site delivery, an owned Asheville campus with the WellSpring Wellness Center sister property, a Metro DC location (Alexandria, VA), a Charlotte, NC office, and a multi-camera virtual learning platform.

The business is founder-operated by Haydn Hasty (President; Ph.D. in psychology, M.A., Ed.S.) and Terry Hasty (Vice-President; M.S. in human resource development). In 2023 the firm extended into a recurring consumer subscription via the Becoming You Journey membership under the TruthSpring sub-brand. No external investment, no AI/ML capabilities, and no disclosed revenue or headcount are present in the source data.
