The World’s Most Innovative Approach to Leadership Coaching

“Coaching [is] an essential tool for achieving business goals”, according to HBR. But all too often, professional coaching falls short of its potential. Many times, coaching is seen as very personal and dependent on matching the right coach with the right individual that it is not scalable. Due to this, most coaching focuses on the individual’s strategies or goals, rather than the company’s. And, because of confidentiality, organizations often see leadership coaching as a ‘black box’ as they do not know what happens after they pay for it. The biggest of all the constraints for successfully using coaching as a tool for driving business impact is the cost structure.

To eliminate all these constraints, we have turned coaching on its head and made it consistently scalable, the best tool to make strategy personal, produce the most powerful data on the market, and, above all, affordable for all leaders. Our approach enables organizations to use everything from executive coaching and leadership coaching to build coaching skills and a coaching culture as strategic differentiators that drive business success.

We learn most (retain learning and change behavior) when the emotional circuits within our brain are activated. Visceral, lived experiences best activate these circuits; they prompt us to notice both things in the environment and what’s going on inside ourselves.

How We Deliver Value: Mindset, Impact, and Change at Scale

Coaching has the power to change habits. Traditional coaching methods change habits in about a year, we do it in 4 months. We are able to do this because we are making every coaching minute count by designing conversations and coaching journeys tightly focused on the changes that are core to the business. The second reason for our speed in changing habits lies in mindset shifts. It is at the center of how we work – our coaches are explicitly trained to go deeper and work with the root cause of people’s behavior. We base our mindset shifts on our leadership shifts framework, a structure that we have built from evidence-based research after more than 120,000 coaching conversations. And, the third reason is in how we use coaching strategically within the business context; coaching is not a perk for the individual but rather an integrated part of the wider business agenda.

We use face-to-face workshops for interactive, deeply immersive sessions where participants are taken through a self-reflecting journey. We specialize in working remotely and use webinars to inspire, engage, and present new thinking to larger groups.

What Makes Us Different?

We can integrate these solutions into a clear coaching strategy that weaves your frameworks and strategies into every assignment.

Mindset Map and the Twelve Shifts®

Our framework makes every coaching moment count. We base our approach on our mindset map, a methodology that we have built from evidence-based research from more than 120,000 coaching conversations. In our framework, there are four main domain areas—Be, Inspire, Relate, and Think—where leaders make mindset shifts. These domains are then broken down to 12 leadership shifts and 34 mindsets that we have found to produce the biggest impact on leaders. And for each shift – using the insight from the volume of our coaching we’ve refined tools, approaches and insights that best enable change against these Twelve Shifts®.
