We help leaders lead
“My coaching engagement helped me to understand how I respond (good and bad) under different scenarios and helped me to lead both groups and individuals in a more efficient and effective way. I am much more aware of how others perceive me and how I need to flex my style. My expectations were exceeded. This was not my first coaching engagement, but…my most relevant and beneficial.”
“I came out of coaching with so much more than I thought possible – a clearer sense of my current self, my future self, and my personal value system. All thanks to your smart, candid, thoughtful and incredibly compassionate approach to executive coaching.”
“HIGHLY recommend Danessa. She has a uniquely insightful approachable style that inherently makes better leaders. She facilitated a completely new awareness of self that will stick with me through the rest of my career.”
You know where you want to take your company. But it’s hard to see the path. Your time is limited, and your focus divided. Every day is about the trees, even when you want to focus on the forest. But you can get there. While there are no quick answers, there is your answer. It’s work that requires deep reflection and a willingness to learn new skills. We begin by understanding where you are right now, and partner to define clear goals and concrete action. Complete candor and strong support. You don’t have time to have it any other way.

Leadership Development
Myth-Busting
and Map-Making
Letting go of old stories to create new
“Thank you for what you do for the Council and for business leaders. Most often, my experience at workshops and similar events is that the content doesn’t make sense to me or isn’t delivered in a way that I can readily consume. Your content and delivery always lands with me.”
“My team LOVED you. As consultants ourselves, we’re super hard on other consultants. They gave me a little flack when this came about that they weren’t sure we needed it. And then, they all stayed two extra hours to keep talking it through.”
“Plain and simple, we think you are a rock star and I am so grateful to have you working with us. Between the TetraMap and…follow-up visioning session, I can really see this team coming together.”
“Danessa brings a thoughtful and practical sensibility that has allowed our team to identify personal and group patterns that did not serve us. Then, with persistent candor, she led us to shed old habits and create new and positive ones. Each of us are better for having worked with her.”
Assessment
First, we have to find out where you’re strong and where there’s room to grow. We use a wide variety of online tools, including the Hogan, DISC and Leadership Circle Assessment as well as interview-based 360 reports. These findings help leaders better understand themselves, can be used independently or as the foundation for individual or group coaching, and can also be used to expand teams or hire.
Workshops
Want your team marching to a different beat? Then consider the drummers in the Beatles and MegaDeth. We’re not kidding. Our never-a-dull-moment, fully-participatory workshops teach teams to work differently by talking about work in a new way. We use both leadership theory and cultural references to dissect and teach strategy, communications, leadership and innovation. If you’re kicking off a new year, budget or org chart, this is a great way to start.
Group Coaching
Ever feel like you’re trapped in an episode of The Office? Or worse, Groundhog Day? Sometimes work doesn’t work. We help executive leadership teams actually talk to each other, align priorities, navigate conflict, and work by the same guiding principles. We facilitate complicated, powerful and important conversations so no idea or voice goes unheard and the team achieves results. Real conversations, real progress.
