Following the retirement of founder Michael Pacholek, Summit Assessment Solutions joined Mindful Workforce Solutions on March 1, 2026, under the leadership of his daughter, Andrea Pacholek.

 Founded in 1998, Summit supported coaches, organizations, and leaders for nearly three decades through executive and management profiling tools designed to deepen leadership awareness and measure organizational effectiveness. The firm led one of the most comprehensive studies in executive level coaching, assessing more than twelve hundred executives and business coaches worldwide to identify the thinking styles and behavioral traits associated with successful leadership.

Andrea worked alongside her father for several years prior to his retirement, helping guide Summit’s advisory work prior to his retirement, and she now carries that legacy forward. This transition brought Summit’s research, assessment expertise, and legacy fully into Mindful Workforce Solutions, strengthening the depth and scope of our behavioral insight practice.

 While Michael has stepped away from day-to-day operations, he remains a valued advisor and enthusiastic supporter of this next chapter.

 We invite you to visit Mindful Workforce Solutions to learn more about our expanded services and continued commitment to elevating leadership and organizational performance.
