Why Initiative?
All success begins with initiative, and we know starting is the hardest part. Initiative is doing the right thing without being told. You act instead of reacting. It is not innate in even the most talented team member. It takes confidence, flexibility, audacity, and encouragement. It’s an independent act created through understanding your strengths, feeling a sense of purpose, and having connection and trust in your team. It involves feeling powerful, but knowing the balance between individual confidence and awareness of those around you.
​
We are living (and working) in an extraordinary time. Employees are leaving their jobs at unprecedented rates and teams are falling apart. Now more than ever people are finding it increasingly difficult to gain meaning and connection in their work.
Intentionally and actively supporting the need for individuals to find purpose at work creates initiative, and draws and retains the best talent.
​
This process transforms teams into engaged, inspired thinkers, and motivated leaders. Those empowered to initiate are more aware and responsive. They find pride in acting quickly, being flexible. They are loyal. They stay engaged. They innovate.
How is this Different?
Years of experience with a wide variety of client types tells us we need a program that is flexible, adaptive, and customized to each person or team. A personalized coaching method is chosen and mapped to align with your specific dynamic for the greatest impact.

The kind of results you need don’t come from reading a self-help book, a personality test, or a printout from an online service. Formulaic third-party coaching tools and self-help books are everywhere - and chances are we’ve read the latest. You benefit from a diverse background of knowledge and training in Brain Based Coaching and psychology. Our team assesses the individual and team dynamics to choose the right tools. Then we guide you through a process to maximize impact and fully internalize the exercises. We don't just teach the terminology; we support you through a process of complete understanding.

Clarity. Larger leaps. You get an engine on your process of change.
Diverse learners require diverse tools and techniques. We visualize concepts and data in different ways and use a variety of methods to reach every participant. We work in person and remotely. We use online whiteboarding tools to brainstorm and document progress. You may use team teaching, vision boards, storytelling, poetry, music, mapping exercises, charades, and whatever else connects with you and your group. We understand the neuroscience behind the methods, and know that brains work similarly, but people are all different.

Finding your purpose at work is not easy. Limiting thoughts, and other day to day responsibilities can pull at anyone and potentially reduce the impact of the work. Emotional intelligence and empathy work can be uncomfortable in the beginning and can make people shut down. We keep people driving to success through "little wins" that maintain interest and motivation to do the work that takes them out of their comfort zone. Our strategy is to reach for the high level, ambitious goals while including immediate milestones to keep everyone energized by successes along the way.

Perseverance and deep engagement.

​Every person and every organization define success differently. We do not believe in one single coaching model to guide teams through purpose finding, limiting thoughts exercises, and goal planning. Our methods incorporate the most effective, Brain Based Coaching models to ensure each individual and overall team dynamics are considered and utilized to their maximum potential. We start with a framework customized for the client and adjust if needed
along the way.
