How It Works
Leadership transformation happens in two vital phases – integration and innovation.
Integration
Integrate comes from the Latin word integrare which means to make whole.
This phase involves bringing your full self to your work (individual integration) and connecting deeply with the rest of your leadership team (group integration).
We partner with a Clinical Psychologist for this phase.
Innovation
Fully integrated, we then help you build the muscle for novel and adaptive thinking: your creativity.
Creativity allows you to be resilient in the face of unprecedented change and to make the future through the power of story.
We partner with the Professor of Story Science at Ohio State’s Project Narrative for this phase.
Building on the base of deep trust, psychological safety, and individual self-awareness developed in phase one, we train creativity using scientific methods in phase two.
We push you out of your comfort zone to dance the intimate dance between innovation and failure, between collaboration and conflict.
With practice, your team will develop the ability to spot exceptional information, take new and multiple perspectives, adapt to change, and make the future.

Topics
Culture, Values & Storytelling
Your company has grown and evolved a lot over the past few years. You have a set of values, but they don’t seem to match how people behave or communicate that value to customers, suppliers and your broader community. You want your employees to get a deeper understanding of the current culture and how it has evolved so they can tell the “story” of where the firm is headed.

Effective Meetings
A remarkable portion of your employees’ time is spent in meetings – so it is critical that this time is spent productively.

Financial Literacy
Employees do their best work when they feel secure about the future, but studies show that our education system has completely dropped the ball on personal finance. That means younger generations enter the workforce lacking fundamental knowledge like how to budget, save and invest for retirement, and make the most of their benefits package. The result? Lower job satisfaction, higher attrition, and lost productivity. So while employers aren’t responsible for this knowledge gap, they’re better off when they help close it.

Effective Delegation
One of the biggest challenges new managers face is going from a doer to a delegator, and “letting go” of the great work they used to perform. The ability to effectively delegate not only results in the development and growth of employees and teams, but is key to your managers’ own career progression and leadership development.
