Appreciative Inquiry

We help you focus on designing an ideal future based on what’s possible and organizational, team, and individual strengths as opposed to getting stuck in the past and what’s wrong.

Adaptive Leadership

We help you focus on creating shared vision for the change based in your organization’s unique values while allowing flexibility for the how to be determined and adapted through experimentation and piloting by the individuals on the ground.

Leading Effective Change through Transformational Engagement

Always bringing a long-term outcome-based perspective to our work, our approach focuses on engaging as many unique stakeholders as possible in the development of the change strategy to ensure capture of unique and shared experience, expertise, and passion thus creating buy-in, ownership, and energy to maximize implementation and accelerate change.

Agile

Sustaining the momentum of the planning phase into implementation, we use an agile approach to enable leaders and staff to turn story and strategy into clear initiatives – breaking these efforts into achievable chunks that ensure quick wins, steady iterative progress, and achievement of the vision and new way of working (not a nice glossy plan that sits on a shelf.)

Neuroleadership & Coaching

We understand how the human brain is wired to resist change and how to create feelings of safety and openness to counteract this. As certified coaches, we understand the importance of balancing the organizational change with the need for individual behavioral shifts and formation of new habits. We work to position leadership throughout the effort to champion the vision and embody the new behaviors. We also support middle management as the lynchpin stakeholders in any transformational change effort to walk the talk while equipping them to coach their own staff through the change.
Coaching Approach

We are always learning and keeping our finger on the pulse of the latest groundbreaking research and resources in the field and bring our learning to our clients.
