Is This You?

Although I customize my work for every client, there are some common scenarios I see come up again and again:

  • As a caring leader you regularly hear that your staff is stressed out, but you can’t quite get to the root causes.
  • You want to give your employees autonomy, yet you need reasonable consistency, and that balance is hard to find.
  • There is a need for a skilled, effective, and compassionate supervisory culture based on coaching competencies, however it seems like everyone has their own inconsistent approaches.
  • Six months after that energetic and creative offsite retreat you’ve all fallen back into your old patterns.
  • Meetings always start late, all the agenda items never get dealt with, and falling into rabbit holes is a common occurrence.
  • You’re still not where you need to be in blending remote and in-person collaborations and cohesiveness.
  • There is confusion around too much focus on task management, or on the other end of the spectrum, too few skills in relational management.
  • You have a compelling vision as Founder/CEO, but it seems you’re easily distracted and the team then loses focus. This happens so often that there is cynicism around new initiatives.
  • You continuously set sales goals, only to fall short. Now you’re in a situation where not only are you missing sales, you’re seeing more quality and on-time issues arise.
  • One of your star performers just gave notice, and this represents a major
    setback for your team. You sense there is more to their story than “pursuing other opportunities” but you admit you’re clueless.
  • You’ve provided tons of trainings and online webinars, but there are still too many negative patterns of behavior.
  • You have strong organizational values, however how those are integrated into all that you do remains a significant challenge.

Do any of these sound like you? Let’s talk.

Most of my clients have the following criteria in common:

FIVE TO FIVE HUNDRED EMPLOYEES

Revenues of $1.5mil or greater

Commitment to a multiple bottom line business model

I’ve worked in a huge variety of industries, including retail, technology, hospitality, manufacturing, professional service
providers, non-profit and financial institutions, and start-ups. We share these values:

  • Integrity in the way business is done – around finances, sales/marketing, and relationships.
  • A recognition that there is no quick fix to changing patterns in the culture
  • While it is important to get a sense of how the work will be done there’s also a willingness to go into the unknown
  • A sense of the business serving a higher purpose
