The concept of The Executive Performance Center is all about the experience. The owner has created an oasis where stressed-out executives can gather in a luxurious sanctuary where, for a day or two, they will be treated like the "Chairman of the Board." The EPC is not just a place to rent a room for a meeting, although guests are welcome to hold their own meetings there. More likely, guests will come for a unique 360-degree approach to leadership development and stress reduction. This approach links the mind, the body, and the spirit with one's performance. Additionally, courses such as team building, creative thinking, presentation skills and stress reduction can be facilitated by trained staff (called "cast members".)
Those interested in old Buffalo will be impressed by the creativity and attention to detail with which the home on Linwood Avenue that houses the EPC has been restored. -J. Mitchell, Buffalo Rising Magazine
