Talent doesn’t quit your organization, they quit your leader. By developing your leaders’ self-awareness, communication and conflict skills, and accountability, to name a few, your organization retains the talent, and the talent pipeline for today and tomorrow.

Emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of self-awareness, and plays a crucial role in many leadership challenges. We use a range of emotional intelligence tools to foster self-awareness through exploring communication and conflict styles. Understanding these different styles creates common language and applying this knowledge impacts relationships, resolves conflict and overcomes challenges.

Other leadership skills we address:

• Embracing change
• Feedforward
• Accountability
• Building Trust and Influence
• Resilience
• Presentation skills

Meaningful engagement is the product of an environment where it is safe to be curious and vulnerable. Rather than focusing on creating engagement, it is imperative that leaders know how to ask meaningful questions, what to ask, and when to ask them. Developing a curious leader involves deep listening and open-ended questions, which is best done through practice.

The application of strong listening and asking skills generates buy-in and contribution to new ideas and change adoption. Elevating that to a next level involves understanding and applying mutual accountability across the team, division, and organization.

Our superpowers are observing group dynamics, leveraging conversation in the room to customize the training in the moment of identifying a challenge. Our talent for hearing what isn’t being said and translating what is being said to align with outcomes provides a rich training experience and easily applicable learnings.

Leaders who intentionally step outside the everyday forward motion are able to focus on impact, beyond intention. Building a proactive habit in a leader starts with recognizing who is affected today and in the future by the decisions being made.

Cultivating strategic thinking skills through case studies built from your organization’s archives allows for practical play to build confidence in a new skill. Our role is to read the room’s energy, see the full landscape, question assumptions and challenge them without confrontation.

Profit is not only measured in dollars, it is also efficiency, excitement about achievements, and collaboration in solving problems. Well trained leaders understand the mechanics of how these skills interact and impact the bottom line and are willing to hold themselves and others accountable. They are attractive to employees, live rich and fulfilled lives, lead people better, generate efficient processes, and measure performance expectations. Now that makes sense and cents.

“I love your ability to read the room’s energy. To question assumptions and challenge them without ever feeling confrontational. I really appreciate watching you in action. I’m always in awe and learn about working a room, incorporating movement, changing pace and tone. You’re incredible.”

“Judy designs meaningful developmental sessions for teams that expand mindsets and further strengthen the team’s psychological safety. Her willingness to take teams “beyond” training is unique and very rewarding.” Gayle Ochwat
