For Companies

Leadership from the inside out.

Company

Stronger teams. Greater impact. Better results.

These days, business as usual is anything but. The pandemic, technology, distributed teams, working from home, and shifting views of work itself have amplified the need for employers to tune in and respond to these new dynamics if they hope to attract and keep quality employees—not to mention build high-functioning, high-performing teams, AND trusting teams.

I help companies address four key areas that can impede your progress and cost you significant time and money in terms of turnover, production, and conflict resolution. Left unaddressed, these challenges can even threaten to derail your company. Either way, ignoring them is neither a strategy nor a good business decision.

Sense of Purpose

Your company’s mission, vision, and values are just the beginning. Today’s workforce needs to know that the work they do is meaningful personally, not just corporately. Social responsibility, community involvement, engagement, and personal and professional fulfillment weigh heavily in the employment mix right alongside compensation, benefits, and flexible schedules.

Colaborative Culture

I work directly with teams to help them adopt a Negotiator Mindset, which empowers them to support one another in important meetings, pressure situations, and during any kind of negotiation. I help them understand when to apply strategies and how to leverage language to support one another in high-stakes situations. Participants learn to leverage their individual and collective strengths, proactively advocating for themselves, their colleagues, and the team as a whole.

Situational Awareness

The ability to accurately assess the needs and motivations of people in any given situation (including yourself), along with any associated dynamics, is an essential skill for both negotiation and interpersonal communication. The C.L.A.W. approach empowers leaders to approach difficult conversations and high-stakes situations with confidence, adjusting to ensure others' perspectives align with the way you want to be known and understood.

Building and Leveraging Influence

Sadly, training and development is often an afterthought—a necessary evil in response to a problem instead of a strategy for growth, efficiency, productivity, and business continuity. Lack of training, little to no continuing education, and undefined career paths make for uninspired, disengaged, and lower performing teams. Moreover, without these systems in place, undocumented institutional knowledge may be lost over time as key employees leave or retire.
