What We Do
We Connect Teams and Individuals Toward Relational Empowerment and Expansive Capacity
We’ve developed a keen understanding of individuals and teams. In our facilitation, training and coaching, we integrate these truths:
- Conflict is inevitable; human relationships can feel like a puzzle. Putting the pieces of the puzzle together is our specialty. We help others work through conflict in a way that allows for individual and organizational growth.
- Our basic, default communication approaches can actually lead to unexpected conflict. Optimal team functionality requires intentionality and commitment to an established approach. We teach and coach those more effective and high impact approaches.
- Strong and joyous leadership starts with an understanding of ourselves and the systems in which we work. We delve into those understandings with acuity and insight.
- Organizations often fail to give focused attention to developing trust, culture, and effective teams. We define, explain, support and encourage that attention.
- In our work together, we help you shine a light on cloudy or murky areas of interaction and the previously unimaginable becomes possible.
Why Us
How We're Different
Why do people Engage us?
Personalized Dynamics
We embrace a highly customized, personalized approach – no canned presentations; no confusing and masking buzz words; no dry, frontal workshops with over-used post-its and flip charts. We listen to your story. We ask insight-driven questions. And, then we design a personal and precise plan for our work together.
Relational Focus
In this edgy and competitive world, we observe that basic empathy and compassion get deprioritized. At the core of our work is a sincerity, empathy, and compassion that we model, teach, and coach. This is non-negotiable in our core expressions. You may find it disarming and surprising to experience the nature of patience and listening that we bring to the center of our work. Even more disarming and surprising may be the rubric of challenge and honesty we are able to extract from individuals, dyads, and groups – steeped in sensitivity and sincerity. We amplify courage through the use of compassion; we plant empathy at the root of effectiveness and efficiency.
Unique Experience
In our mutual commitment to engage in this work with you, we devote our decades of textured experiences to the new encounters with you. This means that we commit to leveraging our various learnings to your unique scenario and circumstances. We cherish humble inquiry, while feeling deeply fearless about exploration of paradoxical, unexpected, or unexplored points of view. Most importantly, we believe deeply and optimistically in human relationships – and our work is characterized by hope in humanity and belief in the impact of our efforts.
