We work with people who want to go beyond the status quo.
They see an opportunity for change — across the globe, in their organization or community, or in their own life. They know, or perhaps feel, that the current way of doing things isn’t working, and they’re ready to take new and different actions (or are already doing it).
Most frequently, we support:
Social and impact entrepreneurs
Social and impact intrapreneurs (driving change from within organizations)
Leaders wanting to do and offer things differently
Parents / caregivers realizing there’s another way to raise the next generation
Our work is global. We’ve coached people and organizations from across six continents and 33 countries — and counting.
Common themes we explore
While our coachees come from a diverse range of geographies, backgrounds, and levels of experience, we’ve noticed some commonalities emerging in our discussions.
We often work on themes such as:
Noticing and knowing their vision for their lives or organizations, and bringing this vision to life
Building confidence, or reducing self-doubt
Noticing and managing self-talk (including the “voices” that sabotage or hold them back)
Strategic decision-making and prioritization
Managing energy, including creating the space for joy and celebration
Identifying and cultivating an authentic leadership presence
Effective communication with a range of stakeholders: from teams, to volunteers, to potential partners, to investors or senior stakeholders
It’s common for our coachees to begin with a defined set of goals which evolve as we get deeper into our work. One coachee likened this to “lifting up the stones on the sidewalk to see what’s underneath.”
And we love this opportunity to go deeper. We regularly study and apply themes and insights from areas such as Regenerative Leadership, Theory U, and much more. Our work is guided by our fundamental belief that a shift in human consciousness — toward one that is more present and connected to what makes us human — is required to truly, effectively and meaningfully tackle today’s global challenges.
“As for what changed, quite a lot. My views about how I approach challenges have changed from fear-driven to mission-driven, my method for deciding when to keep trying to win at something and when to pivot has also become more clearly defined, and I will now better understand the importance of being kind to myself as well.”
