Service Philosophy

We Use These Ideas In Our Work

Understanding legitimate differences in styles and preferences leads to better teamwork and outcomes

  • Kolb learning styles
  • DISC

Appropriate balance in use of positive and negative emotions enhances human performance.

  • Barbara Frederickson
  • Richard Boyatzis
  • David Cooperrider

A leader's belief about people, groups, and organizations affects performance, regardless of actual competence or confidence.

Performance goals tend to create defensiveness. Learning goals tend to expand capabilities and increase performance.

Performance of individuals and groups involves characteristics of the environment and the people, not just the people.

Intrinsic motivation arises from autonomy, progress toward mastery, and meaningful work. Extrinsic motivation is not sustainable and may not produce expected results.

We help our clients reach their goals

We work with organizations for which we know we can make a positive impact.

We use proven science in human performance

We rely on science and evidence to develop our consulting approaches and coaching programs. Managers are too busy to read the latest science and figure out how to apply it. We have degrees from top programs for organizational development and change (Case Western Reserve University) and business (University of Chicago Booth School of Business). We specialize in applying science from the following areas:

  • Organizational behavior and change
  • Positive psychology
  • Emotional and social intelligence
  • Leadership
  • Coaching for change, coaching for performance
  • Adult learning theory
  • Intentional change theory
  • Managerial decision making
  • Strategic management
  • Finance

We deliver practical, effective solutions

We specialize in creation and delivery of custom experiential learning events and coaching programs that turn complex science into practical skills and tools you can use right away.

We inspire people to believe and commit to new possibilities

We believe amazing things are possible, and we inspire organizations to use the science of high performance to reach their goals.
