DEVELOP A NEW, FRESH APPROACH TO AN OLD CHALLENGE

Year after year, we've sat with ambitious business leaders — like you — and engaged with their struggles. We listened to them in their most difficult moments, when they felt the most lost or overwhelmed by workplace troubles. We tested and refined strategies to overcome their immediate difficulties and prepare them to resolve future challenges.

The result? An approach for personal transformation that has a powerful impact on how you show up at work. With a unique combination of group coaching and 1:1 sessions, participants walk away from our training and talks better equipped to be the leader they want to be.

From Fortune 50 companies to small business owners to healthcare workers to educators, we’ve shown Northern Minnesota executives how to overcome their limiting beliefs and achieve breakthrough results.

We’ll customize our collaboration to not only detangle your team’s unique challenges, but get closer to accomplishing your big hairy audacious goals, too.

Is your team disconnected from your mission?

Do you struggle to fully engage and empower your leadership team in co-creating the future vision of your organization?

Are you wrestling with overwhelm?

Can you readily access your “Clear No’s,” check your perceptions, and manage your stress and over-responsibility with intention?

Our work is most valuable for successful leaders who want to take their impact to the next level

We believe the greatest leaders are the ones that lead by example — though easier said than done, right? That’s why our training includes individual coaching sessions to help each team member learn what’s preventing them from accessing their greatest leadership potential.

Our Coaching Emphasizes…

A culture of ownership

Clear - and better - agreements

Customized options with measurable results

Consistent support with unique group + 1:1 model

A transformed sense of self, team and company potential

Elsie did a leadership blind spot training at our leadership retreat and it was transformational for my leaders! We laughed, we cried, we were vulnerable, and we grew as leaders. After receiving the feedback forms after the retreat, it was obvious to me that Elsie’s training was their favorite part from the retreat. Hands down, highly recommend Elsie for any company who wants to experience growth and breakthroughs!"

Elsie not only provided tactical tips and tricks, but also listened to attendees’ individual time management struggles and provided honest feedback on areas they could improve.
