Who We Are

Barry Lovelace, Louise Menlo and Dave Lovelace are on a mission to help people find their passion and purpose in life and to help firms create an environment that results in personal and corporate success. To that end they founded Compass Settings, Ltd. over five years ago and used it as a vehicle to create and market the FastLook and About U Reports.

They still continue to refine and improve on these Reports based upon their work with, and feedback from, countless clients across the country. The Reports are a continuous "work in progress."

Much of the insights they have gained about the usefulness and application of the two reports comes from their work with clients: individuals seeking clarification on their values and career aspirations and firms engaged in improving employee and customer satisfaction. And while much of their effort involves managing the firm, they still devote a considerable amount of time working with individual and corporate clients.
