Effective leaders are not born, they are developed.
Most people think that leadership is innate. That you’re ‘born with it.’ And this idea is what many executive development programs are based on.
If you’re here, you know this doesn’t work.
You understand that leading is more than layering in a few tactics and strategies. You know it takes more to drive results in today’s unique marketplace with its:
Continuous change — both internal and external — that inhibits goal achievement
Days filled with reactive action instead of proactive creation
Disparate KPIs without clear strategies and changing priorities
You know that what’s needed now is a powerful shift in leadership approach.
Rapid and sustainable scale happens when you are able to transform roadblocks and differences into perspectives and better decisions.
The highest performers in the world rely on coaches to help them uncover their blind spots and harness their innate potential for greatness.
Leaders who receive coaching report a 70% increase in performance.
Leaders are 2.7 times more likely to feel accountable for being an effective leader when they receive quality coaching.
Leaders are 2.4 times more likely to stay at their company for the next year when they feel a strong sense of purpose.
The cost of not developing yourself as a leader is too high—for you and your organizations.
Leadership challenges aren’t just a personal issue. They affect your team, colleagues, business health, and more.
Team Conflicts
Unresolved conflicts disrupt culture and productivity.
Low Morale
Team members feel undervalued and disengaged.
Limited Collaboration
Teams fail to leverage collective strengths and insights.
Stagnant Growth
Your organization struggles to innovate and grow.
Higher Turnover Rates
Employees leave due to lack of support and development.
Decreased Productivity
Lack of team cohesion slows down progress.

“When I inherited a large, new team at Oracle, I brought in Susan and her team to establish the onboarding strategy. I was filling the large shoes of a former GM who was well respected—which can typically be a difficult situation!
Susan drove success in our business by helping us learn our working styles through the Enneagram assessment process and by guiding us to develop strong models for understanding and collaboration. Our engagement with Susan was an essential part of our turnaround strategy for the business. ”
