Once upon a time, Dr. Carol
Goldberg had an inspiration to
apply her
understanding of people
to increase their health and
productivity. She would teach
people how to manage stress and
stay
motivated to reach their goals. To reach
many people and because of the
value for businesses, her
workshops and
motivational speaking would be at corporations,
conferences, training facilities, conventions,
and meetings. After doing this part time for
many years, she decided to expand it to
establish a corporation. Thus, Getting Ahead
Programs was born in 1995.
She
chose the name Getting Ahead Programs.? From the
initials for Getting Ahead Programs, G.A.P., she
developed the motivational slogan,
“Close the gap
between where you are and where you want to
be.?quot; She designed an
arrow shaped logo to
indicate progression and be a pointer. In
the arrow, she placed a gap, a ladder for
advancement, and colored it green for growth and
money.
She views psychology
broadly, as essential to everything with people
(not the narrow misconception that psychologists
only deal with mental illness).
Psychologists are vital to organizations and the
workplace, enhance productivity, and were the
first marketing researchers. Thus, she developed
the slogan, "Psychologists are the people
experts" for the New York State Psychological
Association's Public Service Announcements."
Because most of our programs are conducted by Dr. Goldberg and
because you can judge an organization by its
leader, here is a summary of Dr. Carol
Goldberg's track record.
