Services
Every engagement is tailored to your context. Whether focused on training, conflict resolution, or culture change, we recognize the individual, team, and organizational levels to support change that will last.
Individual coaching to accelerate personal and leadership development. We use Lumina Spark and HUCAMA Assessments to deepen self-awareness, unlock potential, and support lasting growth.
Developed from the Big Five personality model and rooted in humanistic psychology, Lumina Spark maps your personality across three distinct personas: at your core, day-to-day, and under pressure. Unlike most psychometric tools, it embraces paradox rather than putting you in a box, producing rich insight that supports leadership development, communication, and authentic personal growth.
Built on decades of occupational research and grounded in the Great 8 Competency model, HUCAMA Factors measures personality traits, emotional intelligence, leadership style, and derailment risks in a single framework. It produces detailed reports on competency prediction, team roles, and leadership impact, making it a powerful tool for understanding how you perform, lead, and grow at work.
Targeted coaching for emerging and established leaders navigating new roles, team dynamics, or organizational change. We work on the specific challenges you face, grounded in evidence-based frameworks and your individual context.
Facilitated coaching for intact teams working through a shared challenge or transition. We help the group build shared language, trust, and habits that carry the work forward long after the engagement ends.
Facilitated workshops designed to build capability, shift mindsets, and spark real conversation. All workshops are adapted to your team's size, context, and goals. Pricing depends on workshop length and number of participants.
Confidential coaching for individuals navigating a specific conflict or a recurring pattern of conflict, building the skills and confidence to address it directly.
Skills-based workshops that equip individuals and teams with tools to navigate and resolve conflict constructively, restoring trust and rebuilding productive collaboration.
Designing the policies, processes, and escalation paths that catch conflict early and give your organization a repeatable way to work through it.
On-call guidance for specific, high-stakes situations as they arise, helping you think through options and choose a path forward with confidence.
End-to-end organizational development engagements covering both diagnosis and implementation. We work alongside your team to understand the root causes of your challenges and co-design solutions that are practical and built to last. Hourly rates are contracted based on the scope and type of work. Special pricing is available for 501(c)(3) organizations.
Guiding organizations through intentional culture transformation, aligning people, process, and purpose so that change is lasting rather than cosmetic.
Developing the next generation of leaders inside your organization through coaching, workshops, and stretch opportunities that build capability where it is needed most.
Building the systems and pathways that identify, develop, and advance your organization's future leaders before you need them.
Assessment and structured conversation to surface the people already inside your organization who are ready for more, before they look elsewhere for it.
