  • Exercising leadership vs exercising authority
  • Navigating organizational politics and mobilizing stakeholders
  • Engaging in Courageous Conversations
  • Adaptive balcony coaching and peer advising

Facilitation & Speaking

Team Retreats & Strategy Sessions

From day-long strategy sessions to multi-day retreats, skillful adaptive facilitation builds your team’s capacity to create and deliver on lasting change. Leverage your team’s leadership moments and inspire leadership in others.

  • Do you have a strategic plan that’s sitting on a shelf awaiting implementation?
  • Are you and your team having the same conversations without any change?
  • Are you launching a new initiative and need people to engage with a deeper sense of ownership?
  • Or are you simply seeking to create a space to deepen your team’s leadership?

Leadership Coaching & Team alignment

Leadership coaching — for teams and individuals  — supports senior executives to accelerate and sustain large-scale change initiatives and strategic planning implementation. 

Build alliances as you approach key inflection points, important decisions and milestones. Lead adaptively through challenges and obstacles that arise during times of transition, uncertainty and possibility. De-risk change without neutralizing impact. 

  • Do you or your team feel isolated as the inflection point approaches?
