How we work together
Choose the Approach That Fits Your Challenge
Core Challenges
The specific friction points holding your organization back—and where our leadership development programs create the most impact.
Structural Friction
Communication breakdowns, unclear expectations, and misalignment between leadership levels that slow decision-making and erode trust.
Leadership Deficit
Limited leadership capacity across your organization. You're overly dependent on a few key people, with no pipeline to develop the next generation of leaders.
Retention Issues
Good people leaving because they don't feel heard, valued, or developed. Burnout and turnover draining your team's energy and institutional knowledge.

FAQs
Common Questions
Do you work with individual leaders and executives, or only with teams and organizations?
Both. We work with individual leaders and executives through 1:1 coaching, and with teams and organizations through cohort programs and custom leadership development, available in-person or virtually.
Can you help a team that's going through a difficult transition, trust breakdown, or leadership change?
Yes. Difficult transitions are often the best time to bring in an outside, unbiased perspective. We help teams rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and find alignment using evidence-based tools and mindful leadership practices.
Do you work with nonprofit organizations and boards?
Yes. Cara has served on volunteer boards throughout her career and has supported multiple nonprofits through leadership development, board training, and coaching focused on governance, communication, and sustainable leadership.
How do you work with HR and talent development teams — do you partner with internal L&D functions?
Yes. Think of us as an extension of your team. We can handle part of a project or the whole thing, and can set you up to manage programs independently after launch, including tools like the Wiley DiSC facilitation portal.
How do I make the case for leadership development investment to my leadership or board?
Frame it as both risk and return. Leadership development reduces burnout and turnover while improving retention and performance. Come with clear outcomes, a simple timeline, and a plan that connects investment to measurable results.
What size organizations do you typically work with?
We typically work with small to mid-sized organizations of up to about 1,000 people, including nonprofits and public-serving groups. Engagements scale from individual leaders to full cohorts with flexible options to fit your goals and budget.
