Coaching
For Executives, Senior Leaders and High Potentials
Everyone needs someone in the balcony when they are in the play or someone on the sidelines when they are in the game. We focus on leveraging and investing in the strengths that equip leaders with the ability to be the most effective with those whom they engage.
Our unique approach
We seek to enable the mindsets and skills that prepare employees and teams to face change with a sense of opportunity.
This mindset reduces the anxiety that change often engenders while increasing optimism, ingenuity, collaboration, and commitment. The most resilient of us know that the moment of stress is the exact moment of opportunity. When all is calm, we tend to forget that we can make work even better. When things begin to fall apart or when a new element appears, this is when growth becomes not only possible but mandatory.
We do this through Strategic Advisory Coaching to C-Suite, 3- and 6-month coaching engagements, Strength Calibrations and other assessment debriefs (EQi, TKI, Hogans, Arsenal), and 3 session programs for boosting performance.
How we teach this
Resilient leadership is learned. It can be increased in times of calm, moments of opportunity and in the worst moments.
Resilient capacity in an individual or team is built through the application of perspectives and skills on an on-going basis. Directed attention on skill development and application is offered through our webinar and coaching offerings (enterprise-wide, small group or 1:1) as well as executive training.

Sample focus areas
Focusing on high impact, micro changes that facilitate increases in resilience-based choices
We all know what it feels like to have an employee or leader fail to rise to a challenge. We seek to ensure this doesn’t continually happen with a multi-layered approach supported by both compassion and accountability. In crucial areas such as increasing optimism while decreasing anxiety, learning to leverage positive connections, building inner and team-based tenacity, celebrating gains and activating strengths to potentiate achievement.
