We work with leaders at the highest levels to help them break through barriers and hone powerful interactive skills. Whether stepping into a new role, or facing a new set of challenges, coaching supports achievement of one’s highest and best potential.   Together we use a competency based approach to build on strengths, define your needs, and set goals for our work.  We then act as a rigorous partner to strengthen both vision and execution, and the skills to accomplish powerful results through others.  And now more than ever, we concentrate on personal skills to minimize burnout, develop resilience, and use time effectively.  

Transform a group of individuals into a high performing team through aligning goals, clarifying roles, and using conflict and differences productively. Teams often suffer from individual competence without collective effectiveness. We work with both leadership and cross-functional project teams to increase their effectiveness.  We evaluate the current team behavior, work through problems, and teach the team simple but highly effective behavioral tools to increase their productivity.  We also facilitate support groups for leaders and individuals dealing with a high level of personal and professional stress.

We offer custom designed lively and interactive training in all levels of leadership and coaching/mentoring as a management tool.  Programs can range from a few hours to more in-depth training over months.  We base our training around your real-world situations, as well as carefully structured practice in new skills to assure that you'll achieve lasting results.

Retreats can be an effective way to step out of the day to day to broaden thinking and look strategically at big issues with wide time frames, and also as intentional team building.  We have designed and facilitated retreats for healthcare systems, family owned businesses, and many non-profits - with focus on anything from long-term strategic plans to on-boarding new employees.  We help you accomplish your goals by by designing a strong but flexible agenda that builds the right atmosphere for work to get done, and facilitating the dynamics of strong, diverse, and opinionated people.  

 With significant speaking experience, we offer engaging and informative interactive presentations that vary from breakfast or lunch hours to conference seminars.  Examples include presence and influence, work styles, difficult conversations, leading change, power dynamics in organizations,  successful conflict, how to mentor, persuasive selling with heart, and managing resistance, etc..
