Leadership domains in which we can help you grow
Leading Self
Self-leadership is the critical building block for leading others, teams, organizations, partnerships, and even societies.
Leading Others/Teams
Leadership happens in the social realm – meaning, between people. That’s why we believe that great leaders lead with values, not titles.
Leading Organizations
Leading organizations requires that you foster adaptation, collaboration, and compliance, while managing risk and ethics.
Leading Partnerships
We help organizations, policy makers, and institutions establish shared values that link purpose and success.
Services
The great equalizer in even the most hierarchical organizations is that we must first and foremost lead ourselves. Self-leadership is the critical foundation for leading others, teams, organizations, partnerships and societies. The challenge is that we are often overly self-critical and simultaneously unaware of the biases and habits that undermine our effectiveness.

Not everyone who is drawn to leadership aspires to lead organizations, but for those who are (or those who find themselves doing it) it can be an incredibly challenging task. Leading organizations requires that you adeptly integrate leading yourself and others while keeping an eye on the big picture and the competitive landscape. You must maintain a strategic mindset and elevated ethical behaviour as you navigate the structural/regulatory, political, symbolic and relational dimensions of the workplace.

Many the most difficult problems in our world and communities are the ones most worthy of our best efforts. The challenge is that these “opportunities in disguise” often call for multiple agencies to collaborate, coordinate and partner. It isn’t a lack of vision, smarts, or will that trip things up; it’s the lack of a proper framework to bound and ground collective action and impacts.
