Leadership Development
The science and craft of creative leadership.
​
Our approach to developing creative leaders is built upon rigorous psychological science and applied practice in helping leaders and their teams thrive.
We work with leaders to build self-insight, and to learn the skills required to drive organizational innovation.

OUR Approach to Coaching
Philosophy
-
Creative leadership is measurable, learnable, and attainable. We are explicitly optimistic about every leader's potential to improve.
-
The context of creative leadership is unique to every leader, team, and organization. Each leader's challenges and goals are unique, and our approach to serving them is accordingly personalized.
-
Leadership is a dynamic process of continual change; no one, including us, is done growing.
How it works
-
Coaching begins with an assessment to objectively understand each leader's unique strengths and developmental targets and to set a plan for their development.
-
Coaching is provided in 6-month packages, regardless of how frequently we meet with the leader.
-
Leaders are our clients and their business is our customer. Leaders' personal success and fulfillment most often come hand-in-glove with their organization's success; they need not be exclusive.
-
Insight into why they lead the way they do, and what impact their leadership has on their organization.
-
Exposure to relevant knowledge, best practices, and practical advice.
-
A space to practice newly acquired leadership techniques without fear of failure or judgment.
-
An advocate who balances empathetic understanding with courageous feedback and observations.
