SERVICES
We believe passionately in leaders with an instinct to better themselves.
No matter your background or years of experience, we tailor our executive coaching and leadership development services to your unique needs.
Good leadership
is not power-oriented, but an attempt to generate growth for the benefit of all.
What We Do
One-On-One Coaching
Executive Coaching
01 | Goal
The goal of executive coaching is not to get leaders to do things differently, but to help leaders become more connected and understanding of themselves - and then it's in their hands.

03 | Process
While executive coaching usually follows a predictable arc of events-- assessment, planning, implementation-- a healthy coaching process is alive, flexible, and responsive to the unique needs of the leader.

Our approach balances speed with accuracy. We push hard for results, but modify the pace to make room for reflection and insight. Our approach is collaborative, but aimed at helping leaders become more self-reliant and self-determined.

GROUPS AND TEAMS
We have developed new approaches to helping leadership grow and then cascading growth through the organization, from innovative, small-team coaching formats, to world-class leadership training programs.
Group Coaching
01 | Goal
The goal of group coaching is to empower leaders to create more social environments in their teams, and to turn the negative potential of group conflicts into creative and growth-inducing efforts.

Coaching groups typically consist of 6-8 participants, either pulled from around the company or all from within the same business. Program scope and content are customized based on the objectives, but typically meet monthly for 6 to 12 months.

03 | Process
In these immersive, small-group efforts, participants learn by doing. Didactic pieces are interspersed, but most of the work is dynamic and experiential, leveraging group discussion, peer interaction, and peer feedback to drive learning. Part of this involves helping people see how they might get in their own way and interrupt group functioning.

04 | Approach
Coaches, like leaders, are role models. In our approach, the group executive coach strives to be a model of non-authoritarian leadership: a person who can open up discussions, and who can help people explore. The coach guides the effort, modeling best practices for imparting psychological safety to teams.

Organization & Culture
Designing Leadership Programs at Scale
The goal of leadership development programs is to translate theory into practical behaviors, and model these behaviors in ways that participants can relate to and adopt for themselves.
Our Participative Approach
Rather than a top-down consulting approach, we engage the people of your organization in a process with us, and with each other.
We facilitate dialogue between key stakeholders, between team members or across teams, or between the entire company and its leadership. Then we design a coaching or leadership development program based on who you are and what your organization needs to grow.
Assessment and Analysis
We don't pretend to have all the answers. But we are experts in the design, administration, and analysis of assessments for your leaders, teams, businesses, and entire organization.
From customized surveys to 360° interviews to full assessment batteries, we combine the qualitative with the quantitative to get the most accurate data possible. We then analyze the data to identify issues and clarify what vital new ingredients can be added that will lead to constructive change.
Designing Programs at Scale
Our goal is impact that lasts rather than fades. By combining different modalities and customizing content to suit your needs, we create impact with staying power.
Programs range in scope based on your needs. Plenaries generate excitement and motivate networking, but the trust formed among leaders in small-group settings goes deeper, and emanates into the culture. Workshops introduce new ideas, but sequential programs make sure skills are practiced and learning is reinforced for lasting change.
Ongoing Transformation
From start to finish our leadership programs remain flexible as new data comes in, to ensure the process remains connected to the pulse of the team. From creating engagement committees to conducting ongoing feedback surveys, we carefully monitor the buzz, making adjustments as needed.

“After this program, I appreciated the advantage of group coaching over typical leadership training. I liked learning a skill, then applying it, and then coming back to discuss it with the group and getting more feedback. I really learned new skills. In the past, when I went to a leadership program, I would forget everything when I walked out the door.”
