Sound Familiar?
- You promoted your best individual contributors into leadership and they’re struggling — nobody taught them how to lead
- Your leadership team operates as individuals, not a team. They avoid conflict, protect their silos, and don’t hold each other accountable
- You’ve sent people to training programs before. They come back energized for a week, then nothing changes
- You have leaders who are technically excellent but derail relationships — and you can see it but they can’t
- You need development that’s structured and measurable, not motivational fluff
Real development happens at the intersection of awareness, discomfort, and support. We use proven assessments to create awareness, structured coaching to navigate the discomfort, and accountability to ensure application. 70% of development comes from on-the-job practice — we bridge the gap between insight and action.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How is your coaching different from other executive coaches?
Three things: First, every engagement starts with validated assessments (Hogan, EQ-i, CliftonStrengths) — not just conversation. We work from data. Second, our coaches bring deep corporate HR leadership experience, so we understand the organizational context you’re operating in, not just the individual development goals. Third, we focus on application — 70% of development happens on the job, and we structure every session to bridge insight and action.
Which assessment should I use?
It depends on what you’re trying to develop. Hogan is best for understanding leadership derailers and reputation. EQ-i 2.0 for emotional intelligence development. CliftonStrengths for leveraging natural talents. 360° Feedback for a complete picture from peers and direct reports. We recommend the right tool — we don’t default to the same assessment for everyone.
Can you coach someone who doesn’t want to be coached?
We’re direct about this: coaching only works when the individual is willing to do the work. If someone has been “voluntold” to get coaching, we address that head-on in the first session. The assessment data often helps — when people see their own patterns reflected back in validated data, resistance typically shifts to curiosity.
What about team coaching for my leadership team?
Our Team Development Programs are 3, 6, or 12-month structured engagements for intact teams. They include individual assessments for each member, team-level diagnostics, facilitated sessions, and between-session application. This isn’t a one-day offsite — it’s sustained development that changes how the team operates.
Do you offer keynote speaking for our events?
Yes. Keynotes are available on leadership development, people strategy, assessments, team dynamics, and organizational culture — drawn from 20+ years of experience at Stanford, McKesson, T-Mobile, and other organizations. Standard keynotes from existing content are $10,000; custom-developed keynotes tailored to your audience and event theme are $15,000. Virtual keynotes are also available.
