Our People

We're here to serve you.

With over forty years of combined experience coaching and facilitating across more than sixty countries, our global team represents a wide variety of passions and skills.

We believe:

  • Leadership is for the many, not the few;
  • All people, teams, organizations, and societies are capable of learning, growing, and changing;
  • Growth requires risk, and failure is an opportunity to learn;
  • Success means working ourselves out of a job as we empower others to multiply their own personal and organizational leadership capacity;
  • Leadership development should be interesting, relevant, participatory, dialogue-driven, and research-based;
  • Effective leadership can change the world.
