Montgomery & Hansen, LLP
Our work with Trimergence and the Executive Management & Development Program allowed us to foster more effective communication between partners and within the firm, forge stronger relationships with clients, and move past the behavioral patterns that were inhibiting us as leaders and managers.

Montgomery & Hansen’s Goal was to institute a business culture that harnesses core values established by the founding partners in order to create a new, more evolved class of law firm. Montgomery & Hansen LLP wished to take Integrity, Respect, Quality, Teamwork, and Community Service, and make these values the cornerstone of every decision, relationship, and interaction.
The Montgomery & Hansen LLP Story begins with questions: How do we build a successful law firm whose soul is centered on core values? How do we encourage creative thinking and eliminate selfish interactions? How do we break the mold and operate in a class by ourselves?
These questions, born as a result of a conflict between partners, led to the realization by one partner that the current system was broken. John Montgomery decided that something needed to change. It was then, following the advice of a colleague, that he reached out to Ward Ashman.
The Approach started at the top of the firm when John Montgomery enrolled in the Self Insight Program. It is what today John Montgomery refers to as a turning point in his professional life.
Upon completion of the Self Insight Program, Montgomery became aware that his skill set as a manager was merely a subset of the skills he required to be a strong leader. Montgomery, now acutely aware of the behavioral patterns that inhibited him, immersed himself in the Trimergence System.
The effect was palpable. Montgomery’s partners quickly noticed an elevation in the quality of his interactions and in his ability to lead. The Partners followed suit and began working on the Self Insight Program, The Three Intelligences, and Nine Doors.
The Results have been pronounced, and Trimergence is continuing to resonate throughout the firm. The work completed with The Three Intelligences has uncorked the latent potential that was previously untapped in the employees of Montgomery & Hansen LLP. The end gain has been less turnover and more fulfilled partners, which in turn has led to more satisfied clients and more cohesive working relationships. In John Montgomery’s words, the business culture went from “one of selfish action and personal attack to a culture of heightened understanding and ubiquitous generosity.”
Today, Montgomery & Hansen LLP prides itself in the fact that its employees connect with clients on a deeper level. They have achieved a high level of success while staying true to their core values. A Law Firm with a conscious, Montgomery & Hansen LLP supports numerous local charities and can boast a client list with both small ventures and corporate giants. They attribute their success to The Trimergence System, and its effect on the way they connect with clients.
Trimergence is the best professional investment I have ever made.
