Our passion is contagious!

“A good leader inspires people to have confidence in their leader.  A great leader inspires people to  have confidence in themselves.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

“Talent wins games, but teams and intelligence win championships.”
~ Michael Jordan

Utilizing a broad range of leadership and behavioral assessments coupled with the application of research-driven models of team and organization effectiveness, we help organizations to become dramatically more productive. We are masters at clarifying strategic and tactical direction, developing superior working relationships within and across teams and developing high-performing teams in cross-functional, multi-cultural and multi-national environments. These high-performing teams create a level of cohesion across the organization capable of producing superior results.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
~Aristotle

Our performance-driven approach to executive coaching focuses on helping the candidate address a key issue or challenge to help them improve their performance and prepare them for the next level of responsibility in the organization. The issue is frequently about communication, influence, building relationships, conflict resolution, providing feedback (tough messages) or public speaking. Our track record for successful engagements is outstanding.

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
~ John F. Kennedy

Research consistently demonstrates that among the top reasons professionals leave organizations is that they are not being developed; this is particularly true for the GenX, Y and Z populations. Hard skills get people in the door; soft skills develop high performers. Our “soft skills” programs are among the most impactful in terms of developing and retaining top performers. We design and deliver high impact programs for all levels from Graduate trainees to C-Suite and Board of Directors.

“We are not thinking machines that feel. We are feeling machines that think.”
~ Russell Granger

Sales training is about learning and applying the science of influence. Many successful salespeople do a lot of things naturally to generate success. We take them to the next level through the application of advanced influence and persuasion methods based on personality types and the application of neuro-science and emotional intelligence. The secret: appealing to emotions is far more powerful than leveraging facts alone!

“Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.”
~Edward de Bono

Managers often exhort their people “to think outside the box” or “to look at things differently” – usually with unimpressive results. Most experts focus on “descriptive” innovation – we teach and apply “operational” innovation. We provide specific techniques that help people to break free of their brains’ sub-conscious, asymmetric patterning system to generate ground-breaking ideas to improve performance. We are experts in the teaching and application of critical thinking techniques as well as Dr. Edward de Bono’s Parallel Thinking (Six Thinking Hats) and Lateral Thinking methods.
