Get the unexpected skills that
make leading easier.

They’re so good you’ll wish you’d had them all along.

Working with Humans:

skills are required.

You know the leadership stuff you wish you'd known how to do before you said yes to this job?

It’s the stuff people assume you can do well because you’re in charge ­– the things you’ve probably been winging for a while. Things like:

  • Empowering people effectively so they follow through
  • Handling crises of any size with agility and calm confidence
  • Giving feedback in a way that feels both sincere and effective
  • Building camaraderie and teamwork (without having to do a single trust fall)

You don't need to wing it anymore.

Let’s get you the skills to make leading easier and better for everyone.

The management and leadership skills we used to think of as
“nice to have” are now a must have for survival.

Recent changes in our work cultures have been profound. COVID-19, increased remote work, and vital social and cultural awakenings require more from every leader and manager.

While systemic changes are not easy in organizations, I’m heartened that so many leaders are turning toward the work I’ve devoted my career to: getting people the foundational tools to work better, together.

You sense that leadership could be easier.
You're right.

But you’re seeing some of these behaviors on a daily basis:

Avoidance is the norm.

Quick! Look busy… and reschedule that meeting. Postpone that review.

If you’re ghosting colleagues or they’re ghosting you, you’re wasting time, energy, AND money. That’s a problem.

Respect is lacking.

“We used to have a great team…” Teams change and yours is struggling to connect.

The management equivalent of yelling, “Hey, you kids! Get off of my lawn!” or whispering, “Ok, Boomer,” isn’t optimal.

Inefficiency is everywhere.

Seriously, why won’t they just follow through on that idea from four meetings ago?

It feels like every meeting could have been an email. They could have been emojis. Priorities are totally askew.

Enthusiasm is unexpected.

You’ve got a vision and the chops to lead, but you want to create success without repeating past experiences of resistance or cynicism from within your team.­

Challenge accepted!

How many work-related problems are you juggling at the moment?

And maybe there's nothing really "wrong."

  • But you and your team are having a hard time dealing with the new paradigm of work.
  • The old way of doing things almost works – until it doesn’t.
  • You need to get a better skill set without reinventing the wheel.

Do any of these feel familiar?

We're exhausted.

The last couple of years have been a LOT. We’re losing people (or at risk of losing them), our managers are fried, and morale is pretty bad.

We’re tired. We’re crabby. We’re not sure how to fix this.

We're
stagnant.

Our people are smart and well-intentioned, but we keep having the same problems over and over… and over.

This doesn’t feel sustainable and the fun is gone. We want out of this rut and into a groove.

We're perplexed.

Why are we constantly having to repeat things? There are so many basic things that our teams just DON’T understand.

Is every company experiencing this general cluelessness about how to get things done?

We're
growing.

Our team is good and has the desire and ability to help create the future we envision.

We’ve learned from the past and from those around us: we know what we want. We’re ready to build something great.

If you're overwhelmed and winging it,
here's a way through.

You can stop the whirl of overwhelm, get your bearings, make a plan, be able to share it well, and have a team follow through while having a good time. (Really, it’s true!)
