Experiential learning that maximizes your leadership impact
Our work develops three interconnected capacities — each one valuable on its own, and most powerful together. Whether we're working with an individual leader, an intact team, or an entire organization, these are the threads running through everything we do.
Leading from your best self — so you can bring out the best in others. Leadership EQ combines four practiced skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and the ability to manage your impact on others mindfully and intentionally. It's not a personality trait. It's a learnable, practicable set of skills.
Whether you're a leader working to inspire your direct reports, a co-founder navigating an essential partnership, or an executive trying to build a leadership team that excels over time, we help you create conditions for your team to accomplish great things together.
When departments don't communicate, projects stall and talent is wasted. We help teams at all levels build the skills and structures needed to surface dependencies, negotiate needs, and smooth the cross-functional friction that slows things down.
Every engagement is grounded in research and experiential learning — because reading about collaboration doesn't build it. We offer four types of programs, and most client relationships draw on more than one.
One-on-one coaching for leaders navigating inflection points, shifting limiting habits, or developing the executive presence their role demands.

Learn more →Lasting change is not derived from a webinar. It requires trying something new, reflecting on what worked, and then practicing again. With experience, a well-formed habit becomes a more skillful response.
Every program is built around doing, not just listening. Skills are practiced and refined in real interactions — not imagined in your head.
Rooted in the most robustly researched team coaching approaches and the leadership development practices honed at Stanford (and others) for decades.
No off-the-shelf solutions. Every engagement is personalized for your context, your team, and the specific change you're trying to make.
We create a 'safe enough' environment where you can stretch outside your comfort zone to learn and grow, even when it feels uncomfortable.

I got to practice and receive rapid feedback on the skills I most care about. I had a conversation shortly after the training that would have made me extremely nervous before — instead it became the most productive and long overdue conversation I've ever had with that individual. One of the most valuable weekends I've ever had.
