Customized Leadership
Development
​Leaders, supervisors, and managers shape organizational culture and directly influence employee satisfaction, motivation, productivity, and retention. By investing in the professional and personal growth and development of your leaders, you foster a culture of continuous improvement, engagement, and commitment to your leaders, driving organizational success and creating a more satisfied workforce. ​​​

Executive and Leadership
Coaching
Personalized 1-to-1 coaching and guidance and support helps current and future leaders, managers, and supervisors identify their strengths and areas for improvement, gain new perspectives on challenges and inhibiting beliefs, and practice new skills in a safe place, ultimately leading to more effective leadership. Investing in coaching not only helps leaders, it also positively impacts their teams.

Customized Team Coaching and Development
Investing in a team coaching and development program can transform team culture by improving collaboration, communication, ownership and accountability and decreasing conflict, leading to improved productivity, morale, and employee retention. We can quickly diagnose current functioning and create a customized roadmap for team-level improvement.
​​​
Our Leadership Development Approach
Our fundamental approach in leadership development is to help new, mid-level, senior, and future leaders identify and capitalize on leadership skills they already possess, identify and challenge inhibiting beliefs and behaviors, and learn or improve critical leadership skills. Our customized leadership workshops and one-to-one coaching helps leaders improve in specific areas like communication, delegation, decision-making, performance management, and engaging and empowering team members.
At the team level, our team coaching programs prioritize meaningful team member growth over traditional feel-good "team building" activities that seldom have any long-term impact on performance and retention. We measure current team functioning, then design and facilitate workshops that dive into the real team chemistry issues that impede performance and employee satisfaction.
The High-Functioning, High-Performing Team Model (HFHP), developed by CEO Dr. Judy Favor, is a cornerstone of our leadership and team development programs. This model, which is based on over 15 years of academic and practical research, provides a framework that helps leaders and team members understand exactly what to focus on to build a positive, high-performing culture where leaders and team members thrive.
Our High Functioning High Performing Model Works
Data collected before and one year after our team experts designed and facilitated a customized 6-month team coaching program with a 15-member work team and leader demonstrated improvement in team communication (59%), psychological safety (33%), ownership (34%), accountability (23%), and commitment to excellence (56%), and a decrease in team conflict (46%).
