COACHING
CASE STUDIES
Solutions designed to help our clients thrive.
We help organizations develop rock star leaders to keep pace with the growth strategy of the c-suite by creating brand evangelists.
Challenge:
A team of new millennial middle office managers needed team building, innovation training and leadership skill enhancement.
Solution:
The 8-week Leadership C.A.R. (Clarity, Awareness, Resilience) workshop with virtual delivery. The series included a lecture, personal mindfulness design, accountability partnership assignments and leadership skills practice.
Results:
The leaders became more resilient while pursuing shared goals and objectives. The team’s KPI increased to best in class benchmarks. The accountability assignments led to cross functional networks that strengthen professional relationships and cooperation. The team learned to bring their highest selves and capabilities to each task. Navigating relationships and challenges became opportunities to engage with integrity.
We help teams punch above their weight class to KO revenue growth targets. For example, an underperforming sales team completed the year with 30.7% YOY growth, which the client directly attributed to our methodology and support.
Challenge:
Senior management team under transition and sales team underperforming compared to plan.
Solution:
Executive Coaching for Team Lead and MBTI Appreciating Differences and Innovation workshops for the sales team. An Internal Performance Mastermind was started for the entire team nine months after the first workshop.
Results:
After one year, 16% organic growth and 14% inorganic growth compared to previous year. Open communication, innovation and collaboration became the benchmark for this team. There was a profound shift in the energy brought to closing the gap between baselines and each desired outcome.
We help senior leaders pivot and innovate within their current skills to grow into their next position within 6-9 months.
Challenge:
Academic Researcher promoted and transitioned to lead a think tank.
Solution:
Executive Coaching series with assignments to practice leadership tools. Used design thinking and prototyping to create a personal leadership toolkit.
