Our Tools

Our assessment offers a highly accurate picture of your current style and functioning in light of an open executive position or ongoing career growth. We explore your motivations, values, style, skills and goals with carefully selected tests and interviews, to arrive at a priority development plan for our work together.

To guide our work and return optimal results, we document an accurate and multi-dimensional understanding of your current performance, influence and impact.

We make sure our long-term client commitments work to your advantage. When we’ve had the chance to work with numerous people from the same high potential or executive ranks, we are able to provide deeply informed counsel that helps to guide long-term planning.

With chief-level speakers, we work 1:1 to protect the speaker’s privacy and content and to maximize the value of our time together. We personalize a plan and define strategies to prepare, adapt and learn content efficiently, rehearse for delivery style, managing questions and closing presentations. We work together regularly to cover strategy, message and delivery for upcoming events. This process often includes an executive's key internal advisors.

Executives are expected to deal constructively with constant change and stress, and yet both can threaten personal and organizational well-being. Today more than ever, leaders need resilience as a core competency to avoid the potential expense of absenteeism, diminished productivity, high turnover and lost opportunity.

Leaders who know how to coax learning out of every experience stay present and grounded in stressful situations, protect themselves and model powerful behavior for their organizations. We help individuals and groups respond capably to challenges and stress and protect their well-being.

When companies need to let valued executives go, how leaders communicate layoff decisions and how executives experience this transition are long remembered. We understand this well. For more than 15 years, we've offered executives outplacement counsel that is strategic, practical, compassionate, and effective. Whether you're in a position to refer executives or are in transition yourself, know that what clients value most is our private, highly personalized, strategic guidance.

Using our combined professional backgrounds in assessment, selection, communication, and interpersonal skills, we focus on what each client needs most during this complex and often emotionally charged time. Services include helping individuals develop a clear search strategy, preparing and practicing for successful interviews, and cultivating the resilience required to manage change in many aspects of their lives. As a result, clients emerge with greater self-awareness, keener judgment about their strengths and career goals, and stronger communication and interpersonal skills. Moreover, as advocates, we keep clients? thinking constructive, their communication effective, their progress steady, and their results long lasting.
