"You have been fair, tough and helpful."

We take pride that coaching is the flagship of our leadership development initiatives.  Each engagement begins with personal interviews with you and your stakeholders to take an up-to-the minute panoramic snapshot of your immediate concerns.  From there we partner to create the best course of action to unfold sustainable development at the personal, team, and organizational levels.

In our experience, each client could use some reflection and mirroring in specific leadership competencies.  Usually, this is the most challenging aspect of our leadership that even our closest colleagues seem to hesitate in giving clear, accurate feedback around.  Not only do we bring you an accurate snapshot of current leadership strengths and gaps, we help you develop your strengths in order to meet the needs of not only yourself, but also of those around you.

"Our group had experienced several conflicts because each of us had walked into meetings with an intention to champion our own work and came out of Dialogue with the realization that it was ALL our own work and we had to plan together how to accomplish it."

We love people.  We love teams. 

We know teams have their own flavor of dynamics and ways of working together that emerge from their initial inception and adjust accordingly to many changes over time.  You are well aware that even one person joining or leaving a team can have an impact on the healthy functioning of a team. 

How do you manage these transitions?  What do you do when constant change is a hallmark of your industry?

What kind of culture are you building in your organization and how is each individual holding integrity around maintaining a healthy culture?

"Clear Communication" is a foundational training and coaching program that builds and sustains efficient and productive teams even as members come and go.

We believe that an organization should create and support a culture that allows each individual to contribute in a way that is meaningful for them.  We hold our clients accountable for creating a culture that builds trust and commitment for everyone involved.  This includes looking at how we hire and even what we look for during performance reviews and who moves towards leadership positions.

When is the last time you checked your team's pulse? 

And had fun doing it?

"I think I was able to accurately determine what was going on from a different point of view and saved myself some redundant steps.  This is one of the most useful trainings we've had in a long time."

Transitions.

Onboarding Alignment and Succession Planning are two sides of the same coin.  These two business developments occur everyday at all levels in our organization.   What's your plan for making these transitions contribute to your success in healthy ways?

Whether considered from the succession side or the onboarding side, how much are you expected to fill the job description as-is and how much are you allowed to make it your own?  What are your stakeholders expecting of you?  What's your unique contribution?  What is difficult to let go of? 

We want to make these conversations explicit to you and your organization so that you have panoramic awareness, understand all options, and make the best choices during these transitions.

"An outsider's perspective can make all the difference.  It's helpful to acknowledge this."

While we use many traditional assessments to engage the awareness piece of our work, we also customize all of these assessments to take the most complete picture of your organization at the moment of our working together.

Our job is to make you not need us.  We want to give it all away and not create a dependency on the consulting relationship.  We are excited to share everything we know about leadership at the organizational and individual level so that you can take it and run.

We can't help but see the big picture.  We also see all the fine details.  It's just what we do and what we love sharing with you.

"I appreciate your willingness to talk about your reasons behind each activity you asked me to engage in.  I understand now your style of coaching others to do what you do."

We have been training coaches since 2001.  We train coaches in the 6 essential competencies and prepare them to take a truly global perspective when providing servant leadership.  We train individuals, groups, and internal organizational learning groups.

We look forward to contributing to your success!
