A Decade of Impact and an Exciting Future Ahead

Mark H. Davis is an award-winning Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Eckerd College and has authored several highly-regarded assessment instruments, including the Conflict Dynamics Profile^® (CDP). He is the author of over 70 articles and chapters in the area of Social Psychology as well as a book, Empathy: A Social Psychological Approach. In addition to his primary interests in studying empathy, interpersonal conflict and entrepreneurial mindset, Mark has also done research into such topics as why movies released late in the year receive more Academy Award nominations, and whether major league batters perform more poorly in pressure situations. This may explain why he watches so many movies and has season tickets to the Tampa Bay Rays. Mark received his B.A. in Psychology and Political Science from the University of Iowa and his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin.

An executive coach and small business owner, Jen Hall discovered many years ago a passion for working with individual leaders and leadership teams across a wide variety of industries, helping them to leverage their strengths, enhance their working relationships, and realize their potential. Jen worked closely with colleagues Mark Davis and Pam Mayer Meskauskas to author the Entrepreneurial Mindset Profile^® (EMP). Since its formal launch in 2013, she has been continually surprised and gratified by all the novel and interesting ways practitioners and clients have found to apply the EMP to help individuals and teams activate their latent capacity for entrepreneurial thinking and action. Jen received her B.S. from Trinity College and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut.

Pam Mayer Meskauskas was the founder of eMindset Academy, a training organization designed to teach practicing leaders how to add science to the art of innovation. She is also an adjunct coach and trainer for the Leadership Development Institute at Eckerd College. In the 1990s, Pam had a VP role at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL^®), where she was responsible for open-enrollment and custom programs at the Greensboro, North Carolina site, as well as for providing oversight of CCL’s worldwide licensee network. Between 2000 and 2010, Pam served in high-level organization development (OD) and executive development roles, most recently at a large, multinational company for which she designed and delivered leadership programs in North America, Europe and Asia. Pam’s longstanding interest in the topic of entrepreneurial mindset began in graduate school and has continued throughout her career. It is her belief that contemporary organizations could do much more to unleash entrepreneurial talent and that helping them do so is central to her life’s work. Pam received her undergraduate degree from Old Dominion University, a master’s degree from Penn State University and a doctorate from the University of South Florida. She resides in Charleston, South Carolina.
