Atlyss

Atlyss is a culmination of over thirty years of intensive study of relationships. The Atlyss assessment was created by career educators, including Kentucky's only National Teacher of the Year, whose primary purpose was to generate a tool that could assist people in strengthening and deepening relationships. The goal was to create a tool that could provide positive and tangible results for personal and group success. Through their work, this team found that most disputes occurred because of miscommunication and misunderstanding, that individuals could in fact, be speaking to the same point without realizing it. Only after many years of working with other market products did a real and simple solution for building successful relationships begin to take shape in the form of Atlyss.
