We help people leaders create brighter possibilities for themselves and their teams.

It takes a unique set of skills to build a collaborative, inclusive workplace where people want to contribute and grow while achieving challenging goals.

Our approach rests on the principle that leadership success requires CONNECTION:

Connection to self.

Connection to purpose.

Connection to the people you lead.

We help leaders build skills from the ground up, starting with a foundation of emotional intelligence that supports the conversations that energize performance, create clarity and inspire commitment to great results.

What We Do

We’ve outlined a few of our approaches below but find it’s best to start a conversation to understand your needs and create a solution that delivers the best learning, insights and outcomes for you and your team.

Workshops

As an introduction or overview to our work and approach, we offer keynotes, presentations and lunch & learns focused on our core principals and compelling research. These can be delivered as stand-alone learning opportunities or part of an offsite or retreat event. Here are some examples of topics we’ve done:

  • EQ for Team and Business Success

  • Leading Virtual Teams

  • Creating a Culture of Conversation

Leadership Development

Our programs are interactive, engaging and empower leaders to create a personalized action plan supported by practice and reflection, taking learning beyond the classroom and applying it to your daily work. Aimed at building emotional effectiveness for more powerful interactions at all levels, we help leaders amplify the skills and behaviours they need to:

  • Be authentic and engaged with their team

  • Respond & lead through challenges and change

  • Engage in critical conversations with more confidence

  • Build behaviours that ignite performance & inspire innovation

Many of our solutions include the opportunity to complete your own EQ Assessment and receive a Personalized Leadership Report.

Leadership Team Building - But Better

Specifically designed to build the capacity and connection of your intact leadership or management team, our Leadership CONVOS apply our H3O approach for built-in team building, shared learning and behaviour change using well designed conversations and insightful data to support and sustain change.

We tailor the process to focus on specific concepts, skills or challenges your leadership team might be facing, and create learning conversations that:

  • develop meaningful application to day to day leadership activities

  • build skills and accelerate behaviour shift

  • create commitment to action

We use technology to nudge behaviours, track progress and provide deeper insights on success. Our approach is ideal for sustaining learning and integrating culture change or organizational values. Our Leadership CONVOS can be designed for all levels of leadership from executive to front line and can be scaled across all teams in your organization.

Personalized Leadership Coaching

Creating strong relationships and balancing complex business demands takes critical behaviours that can only be built with ongoing practice and reflection. You might be a small business owner just building your team or a new manager with big goals. Personalized, structured and compassionate support can help you develop the skills and mindsets you need for success.

We can work one-on-one with you to identify opportunities, address barriers and build new habits that lead to greater success at leading people and getting things done in a connected and collaborative workplace. Our approach is anchored in emotional intelligence and pulls from a number of frameworks combining theory, practice, reflection and hands-on tools. 

We offer virtual or in-person coaching options with packages based on your focus and goals.

Curious? You can schedule a time for a no-obligation conversation to discuss your goals.

Why Coaching?

Personal coaching creates a safe environment to be candid, explore possibilities, gain clarity, improve your focus, enhance your confidence, and build effective habits. Working with a coach can help keep you accountable and improve your success at creating lasting change.
