Mindset Coaching
Whether you are a new or seasoned executive, an aspiring or emerging leader, the benefit of confidential coaching conversations is your competitive edge. Our targeted coaching programs are for serious and ambitious leaders who want to grow and develop. Maybe you want to generate strategic ideas to take you to the next level, or you want to work on your leadership style, behaviours, roadblocks, and or professional presence. You may want to get the best out of a difficult individual or prepare for a difficult conversation. Whether you are a leader sponsored by your company or a private individual paying for your own development, your journey begins with a coach.

Assessment Tools
Our leadership assessments consist of one in-depth interview where we explore your perceptions and motivations prior to the use of online tools. Next, we use one or more online assessment tools. These give you a new lens through which to consider yourself, strengthen your self-awareness, and provide you with additional data for your development. Our assessments include 360 Assessments, Emotional Intelligence, StrengthsFinder, Leadership, DiSC, DiSC for Teams, and PiAV (Interests, Attitudes, and Values). Assessments may be used for coaching, as part of a individual development program, or in other individual workshops.

Behaviour Analysis
How we communicate verbally and visually sets the tone for every relationship, every conversation. When we analyze your speaking patterns we gain insight into your leadership style. Your pace, pitch, how much or how little you say, and your voice quality are all indicators that reveal your perspective and how you view your world. The research into human expression done by anthropologist Desmond Morris provides the backdrop for us to understand facial expressions, body movements, and micro-expressions. This process provides deeper insight into your self-confidence, behaviours, and character. Our clients are routinely surprised by what emerges in these sessions.

Leadership Presence
We provide individualized guidance on cultivating a compelling Leadership Presence that drives success. Count on us to help your people — from emerging leaders and first-time leaders to leaders in new roles and executives at all levels — grow in areas such as:
• Increasing self-awareness: Get to the bottom of the question, “How am I perceived”?
• Looking the part: Enhance personal presence and credibility by focusing on voice and words, grooming, dress, micro-messaging, and body expression™ (body language).
• Building new strengths and overcoming challenges: Develop necessary capabilities and eliminate blind spots to succeed in any role.
• Regulating emotions under pressure: Stay poised and composed in times of heightened stress, and remain flexible and adaptable in response to uncertainty.
• Developing political savvy: Build strong relationships throughout the organization by fostering and leveraging one’s network and managing up, down, and across.
• Inspiring and influencing others: Communicate with people across all levels in a clear, persuasive, and non-intimidating manner to win confidence, generate enthusiasm, gain buy-in, and effect positive change.
Leadership Development
Leadership training is one of the key ingredients to leadership and business success. Leaders who have had the opportunity to develop their leadership skills are better able to communicate, build great working relationships, prioritize their workload, and make tough decisions. They stay resilient through times of rapid change and build high-performance workplaces. We use an experiential approach to leadership development. Leaders learn best when given the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment while receiving real-time feedback. To give you an idea, we have delivered the following training sessions, courses and workshops in the past:
- Stress Management
- The Art of Active Listening
- Leading through Conflict
- Difficult Conversations and Performance Improvement
- D i S C and D i S C for Teams
- Influencer Bootcamp
- Communication: Words Matter
- Performance Reviews: Quick and Meaningful
- Success and the Reflection Connection
- Mindset and Self-Awareness

Facilitation Services
Facilitation is a thought-provoking process that can inspire team members to engage and maximize their potential. We take a personalized approach to ensure that your leadership meeting or off-site retreat maintains a high priority focus on helping the group work more effectively as a team. As we move conversations forward, your team members can say what they need to say, distinguish what’s in the way of the team’s next level, and determine a strategy to ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved on deadline. Centered on personal and team accountability, the team leaves energized and ready to implement the custom action plan they built together.

Brainstorming Sessions
Brainstorming is an informal approach to problem-solving using lateral thinking. Learning to think laterally is, by definition, counterintuitive because you are asking your brain to ignore straightforward solutions. You are asking your brain to forego the obvious methods of reasoning to solve a problem. In these sessions, you will become aware of how the brain processes information and how outside, unplanned stimuli can propel your thinking to new heights. As you distance yourself from ‘vertical’ or logical thinking and embrace the process of lateral thinking, you will have a powerful out-of-the-box experience.

MasterMind Conference
A mastermind conference is different than other conferences. They are roundtable discussions, where attendees learn from each other as much as they learn from the facilitators and presenters. Instead of inspirational speeches and how-to presentations, a mastermind conference places focus on big vision planning and complex problem-solving. With a solution-focused approach, attendees network and dialogue their way forward. Because the subject matter is usually too deep to get through in just a few hours this conference can be an all-day or a multi-day event by sector or an all-day event by topic. Seating is limited and a waitlist is currently in effect.
