Leadership Development
It can be lonely at the top. But it doesn’t have to be.
True leaders never stop becoming.
Recently we’ve heard from leaders seeking to inspire their managers to be better leaders, and managers looking to be better leaders. It’s easy to reduce this to platitudes (“lead from the seat you’re in”) or take an either/or approach. But at the heart of it all, effective leadership is about mindset, presence and intention.
Leadership happens, up, down, and across in organizations. Whether you’re already in a formal leadership role, looking to step into management, or anywhere in between, we are here to support you on your journey.
- Bring out the best in others in your presence
- Make decisions for the good of the whole
- Choose connection and curiosity over separation and judgment
- Embrace responding in lieu of reacting
- Willingly admit mistakes to your teammates
- Recognize and embrace your own growth edges
- Trust yourself
Explore the ways we help leaders thrive:
Leadership Coaching
As leaders, we all need a sounding board, a safe space to share what’s keeping us up at night, float out ideas, learn our blind spots, be reminded of who we truly are, and be reassured that we won’t buckle under the sheer pressure of it all.
Executive Leadership Team Development
Create cohesion and alignment on your team, effectively delegate, empower, give feedback, engage conflict, and more.
Strategic Planning
Using a holistic approach combining organizational culture and strategy, with a focus on data and people, resulting in a comprehensive playbook for change management.
Leadership 360 Assessments
As a leader, it can be challenging to get an objective view of your own leadership. We all have blind spots and areas where we can improve. By embarking on a Leadership 360 with us, we help you uncover your leadership strengths and challenges, fully understand how your coworkers experience your leadership, and co-create actionable strategies to make you a standout leader.
A Leadership 360 unveils the kind truths and (small) pivots required to propel your leadership. Undergoing a 360 is no small feat, it requires that you fully commit to the process, be ready to hear the feedback and make real changes in how you lead, for the better.
