Request
Ask for what you need
One form. A reply within 1 business day, from a person.
There is no sales team here and no sequence waiting for your address. This form reaches 1 inbox, and the answer comes back from the person whose name is on the book.
If you are asking about on-site training, the second block is worth filling in. It is the difference between a reply that quotes a range and a reply that quotes a number, with seat math and a proposed agenda you can take to whoever holds the budget.
If you want a call instead of a form, book 30 minutes and skip all of this.
What happens after you send it
You get a reply within 1 business day. For a training request that reply carries the seat math, a proposed agenda, and what it costs to bring the class to your plant. For anything else it is an answer to the question you asked.
Nothing else happens. You are not added to a list, you will not get a sequence, and nobody follows up 5 times.
Wayward Leaders® is a veteran-owned VFD training practice. We teach maintenance teams and plant electricians to install, commission, and troubleshoot variable frequency drives correctly, in person, at the plant that owns the equipment, anywhere in the United States.
Every class ends with a scored competency assessment. The plant gets a way to prove what each technician can do, not a roster of who sat in the room.
The instruction is field-trained. It is drawn from nearly 8,000 VFD, power, and motor documents and from more than 750 commissioned drives captured through personal field experience and data collection. Carl Lee Tolbert, PhD, CMRP, and ATD Master Trainer™, leads it. He has delivered more than 5,000 hours of VFD instruction across 30 years and trained 8,000 industrial professionals, from International Paper to the U.S. Navy.
The premise is simple: VFDs do not fail. Installations fail them. The curriculum is built backward from that.
Installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and fault diagnosis guides are published openly at waywardleaders.com.
