Ways to Work Together

LeaderLab:

Leadership & Executive Coaching

Coaching is the most individually tailored practice in leadership development, proven to be one of the most effective tools for increasing self-awareness, driving transformational change, and providing critical challenge & support.

Coaching helps leaders:

  • Clarify goals & path toward reaching them

  • Identify & leverage strengths

  • Improve performance & communication skills

  • Discover & set priorities in personal & professional life

  • Improve emotional intelligence

  • Strengthen individual & team resilience in times of change

  • Identify & minimize burnout in themselves and their teams

  • Accelerate goal achievement

  • At the heart of coaching is a partnership grounded in open, honest & meaningful dialogue - focused on setting goals, developing plans for reaching them & managing personal change.

    We offer leadership and executive coaching packages for 4, 6 & 12+ months, meeting 2-3 times per month for 45-60 minutes. We’ll first meet for a free discovery call to discuss your goals & determine which coaching package is best for you.

  • We work with teams to become stronger, more cohesive, and more impactful by leveraging their individual & collective strengths, and fostering a greater sense of connection & collaboration.

    The team coaching process supports teams in defining, aligning, and working toward collective vision & shared goals. It helps teams break down barriers, enhance communication, unleash creativity, and build collaborative problem solving skills. Team coaching results in increased psychological safety, inclusion, and connection as well as an elevation in team morale - positioning the team to have greater impact on the organization.

    We partner with leaders to support their teams in various capacities and situations, including:

    • New team leaders, and/or newly formed or combined teams

    • Building trust & accelerating collaboration

    • Co-creating & implementing strategy

    • Creating alignment around vision, goals & purpose

    • Defining & exploring team culture

    • Navigating change & transitions

    • Resolving conflict or challenges impeding team culture and/or collective impact

  • Group coaching differs from team coaching in that the focus is on the goals of each individual, as opposed to working in service of a team goal, and group coaching participants don’t necessarily have to work together. Group coaching clients benefit not just from the coaching process, but also from peer learning & the collective wisdom of the group.

    Group coaching engagements are customized to advance professional & personal development in a small-group setting. They can be scheduled within an organization or for like-minded participants.

CoLab: 

Collaborative Problem-Solving & Ideation

Sometimes you need a new perspective or a “critical friend,” to help gain clarity, think strategically, and manage toward your goals.

Sometimes you need a little extra capacity & brainpower to turn your ideas or plans into reality.

Whether you're interested in a one-time engagement to troubleshoot or brainstorm, or looking for someone to co-create with you, we’ll tailor an approach to your needs.

You bring the idea, problem, proposal, half-written email, etc. and we’ll bring our strategic mindset and skills.

  • We offer individual CoLab Sessions to fit the size of your project: 45 min, 75 min, 2 hrs

    We also offer customized CoLab Packages, for folks want to work together on longer-term, or iterative projects.

    Have a CoLab in mind? Schedule a CoLab Consult (20 min) - we’ll discuss your project, align on the time needed, and get your session(s) booked!

  • Preparing for difficult conversation (45 min)

    Guidance to structure thinking/ approach to solving complex problem (45 min)

    Drafting or revising strategic communications (75 min)

MindLab:

Strategy Consulting & Advising

We partner with leaders & organizations to solve complex challenges, to innovate on or scale existing programs, structures & initiatives, and to explore or pilot new ideas or opportunities.

We use a hypothesis-driven approach to solving problems & exploring opportunities, grounded in a shared understanding of organizational/ entrepreneurial goals & project level expectations.

Our goal is to serve as more of a specialized extension of your team than an external management consulting firm, working with you to create tailored solutions with your unique context and goals in mind.

  • When you have a project in mind, schedule a consult so we can discuss your goals, scope of project, potential deliverables etc. Following our consult, we’ll draft & send you a proposal, which generally includes:

    • Synthesis of the Situation

    • The Challenge (what we’ll be “solving” for)

    • The Opportunity

    • Our Approach

    • Proposed Scope & Timeline of Work/Engagement

    • Deliverables

    • Project/Engagement Cost

    If needed, we can schedule a follow up call to discuss, align, finalize details, etc.. And then, we’ll get to work!
