The SSCA Evolution
to DoorTwo

SSCA’s journey began over 45 years ago with Dr. Brad Spencer, in his garage, choosing proven behavioral science-based models from which to lead and consult his clients. This cutting-edge approach changed the trajectory for everyone he encountered and soon Spencer & Associates became Spencer, Shenk, Capers and Associates, which many warmly know now as SSCA.

A Legacy of Cutting-Edge Leadership Consulting

As SSCA evolved so did the incorporation of select, proven leadership competency models. You would expect nothing less from a consulting firm committed to journeying with and ceaselessly guiding clients to their purpose-filled greatness.

SSCA is now DoorTwo, we invite growth-minded leaders to choose to make an extraordinary impact for themselves and their organizations.

DoorTwo continues to build upon deeply researched and proven models. Our new name, DoorTwo, reflects the ceaseless growth process that conscious leaders journey – consistently facing choices and purposefully choosing a new perspective, an exceptional path, and to have extraordinary impact.
