Facilitation & Speaking Engagements
We address vital issues affecting business performance in our keynotes, drawing on our research and consulting in areas ranging from leadership to conflict, and creativity to strategic business growth. We bring our audience to a higher level of understanding and introduce them to powerful concepts and examples, so that they leave inspired to try new ideas and techniques as soon as they get back to their workplace.
Interweaving research results, real-world examples, and relevant humor, our keynotes entertain as they instruct, leaving the audience energized with our vision of all they might accomplish and achieve through the application of our findings in their own lives and workplaces.
Our genuine enthusiasm for our work quickly captures our audience as we lead them on a journey to the frontiers of management thought.

Executive Development and Coaching
We can come in to provide a leadership development program, or coaching. Our coaching successes have occurred with leaders in many areas, including: self-management, relationship building, star performance, diversity, and self-development. These results often came from a concentrated awareness discovery process that utilizes assessments, interviews, and personal observation through coaching meetings.
Our focus is on developing individuals by enhancing awareness, growth, and leadership. This “inside… then outside” approach leads to achievement of personal goals, missions and objectives.
We also provide phone coaching for the following reasons:
It's more efficient—no one has to travel, and there's much less of the off-topic chit-chat that characterizes face-to-face encounters.
There are fewer distractions to divert either the coach or the participant—instead, they're focused on the substance and delivery of what leaders say and don't say.
People often open up more fully in a phone conversation than face to face.
Because it's more efficient, it's also less expensive.
We use a number of techniques, including use of the GROW Coaching Model. This model employs the following four steps, which are a simple yet powerful framework for structuring a coaching session.
1) Establish the Goal; 2) Examine Current Reality; 3) Explore the Options; 4) Finalize with the Wrap-Up.
Many of our assessments, workbooks, and books can be repackaged or "unbundled" for custom uses. If you can imagine it, we can probably make it happen, so please feel free to share your ideas or requests. Thanks!
We also have developed training materials, books and other products for some of our clients, and may be able to act as project managers, "ghost-writers" or developers for you if you have a project you need to sub out.
Licenses
Our courses and assessments can be licensed in order to simplify large-scale use or to incorporate them into your course design.
