Own Up!® is Rooted in Family.

Own Up!® began as a family-owned business in Denver, CO in 1986 when Jennifer Thero Long joined up with her mother Dr. Cynthia Thero and brother Chip Thero to aide in instructional design, program, and client services for Cynthia’s company known then as The Source. The company researched, developed, and designed corporate training  programs for local and national clients such as Tele-Communications, Inc. (now Comcast) and soon expanded to international clients with training partners in Edmonton, Canada, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Sydney, Australia. During this time, Cynthia, with her background in Adult Education and Psychology, and Jennifer, with her background in Theater and Communications, developed one of the first ever organization coaching methodologies working with company employees one-one-one to develop and master new skills as part of their organizational learning experience. Chip aides in heading all of the behind-the-scenes work, including website design, maintenance, and logistics. The company then morphed into Management Possible®, and then continued to evolve into Own Up!® in 2023.

To this day, we remain one of the elite coaching and training companions that can credibly coach to scale with large organizations.
