About Synergy Consulting Partners
We are Janet L. LaBreck, and Jimmy Wilson, we formed Synergy Consulting Partners in 2017 specifically to help state vocational rehabilitation agencies perform better. Together we have more than 50 years of professional service in federal government, state government, and private corporations. Over those years, we have learned a variety of diverse skills including transformational leadership, operational problem-solving, and financial stability. Not only do we understand the challenges that agencies face every day, but we have also been there ourselves. We know what it’s like to manage a large organization with lots of moving parts, implement new regulations, being innovative with limited resources, and always being responsive to internal and external stakeholders. We also believe strongly in the value of vocational rehabilitation, and the work that state agencies do every day.
