CHANGE
Change is More Difficult
All organizations struggle with change. Yet today adaptability (the ability to change) is an absolute imperative for every business. Not all will achieve it.
LEADERSHIP
Leadership is the Most Difficult
61% of senior leaders feel unprepared for the strategic challenges they face upon being promoted. Many, if not most, junior leaders feel equally unprepared.

You're seeking evidence-based approaches, grounded in research, versus simple, case-based (ineffective) solutions which purport to solve every problem, everywhere (and don't);
You're smart enough to know that a single framework or simple approach will not solve all your problems, and you need a partner who knows that, too;
You need a partner who has worked in a variety of environments in multiple domains across industries;
You're seeking coaches with actual, real-world leadership and organizational experience;
You want a partner who can provide multiple offerings and work with you in multiple ways;
You want more than a staff of new college grads who simply rebrand pre-existing PowerPoint presentations;
You want more than a representative of some software solution who sells it as the sole source of capability.
You Would Not Work With Us If...
You are looking for a simple, off-the-shelf response to a pervasive, challenging problem;
You want to pay a consultant, ignore them, and then blame them later (there are companies who provide precisely this service);
You just want a rebranded, 400 slide PowerPoint presentation to show you're "working the problem";
You already have the answer to your issues and you need someone to (a) lend their credibility and/or (b) implement it for you;
You do not actually want to grow, develop, or improve your people, teams, and organization;
You think growth and improvement is something everyone else needs;
You want to be able to say you're doing things differently while still just doing the same, old things;
