An Outcome Based Process that Works

Leaders in technology companies all over the world share with us challenges they face with:

Keeping teams aligned and engaged while scaling rapidly.
Building trusting and high performing teams quickly.
Communicating effectively with others, especially when team members are located in geographically diverse areas.
Working with people leaders who are technologically smart, but managerially "green".

Leading through growth is often a dynamic and iterative process. Those who can leverage people to their fullest potential will have a competitive advantage in our knowledge industry.

Leverage Possibility

A typical client usually wants to perform better in one or more of these four critical domains: individually (demonstrating strategy, better use of time, confidence), with teams (leading or facilitating results), leadership presence with cross-functional teams (speaking up effectively and holding others accountable), or establishing thought leadership (impacting companies or industries strategically).

We have designed a series of toolkits to help teams and leaders engage in these and other topics. Each has a guided process to facilitate assessment, goal setting, experimentation, and evaluation. For example, if someone wants to open up new awareness and dialog around personal performance, they may opt to engage in our Stakeholder Insights process. Different key stakeholders are interviewed to provide a holistic perspective on what "next level" leadership could be.

Or, if someone is newer to leadership, they may opt for coaching using our Leadership Portrait which uncovers seven key elements of leading.

Coaching Spotlight

A recent client said...

I have leveled-up as a leader thanks to Kirsi's coaching the past 6 months. I walk away from every coaching session equipped and motivated to be a more curious and empathetic leader. Kirsi approaches our sessions as an opportunity to discover and explore my values, my thought-patterns, and my emotions that are contributing to the results I am getting as a leader. I learn the most not just from what she says, but how she says it. I have incorporated the same coaching methodology that Kirsi employs in our sessions in my 1:1s with the employees on my team and I am seeing amazing results. The employees on my team are discovering their own truth, they are solving difficult problems and are taking more ownership for their work. Thanks, Kirsi for making me a better leader... and simply a better human!
