You need scalable leadership development that translates into changed behavior at work, not another program that pulls your team away for days.

You're responsible for leadership training that sticks

You need evidence-based programs with measurable outcomes, not another workshop that fades. You want development that integrates into the real daily work from day one.

You’re ready to develop the self-mastery and communication skills that create trust, reduce burnout, and help you lead through complexity with clarity.

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.

What Services Look Like

Evidence-based leadership development designed for modern challenges, from team communication and conflict to AI adoption and sustainable change.

Custom Programs

Focused learning experiences on specific skills: delivering feedback, building psychological safety, navigating healthy conflict, or integrating AI into leadership practices, as examples.

Leadership Coaching

One-on-one and group coaching for leaders ready to build self-awareness, strengthen communication, make progress toward goals, and lead with clarity instead of overwhelm.

Strategic Retreats

Transformative offsite experiences in Alaska that combine team building, strategic alignment, and leadership development in settings designed for reflection and renewal.

How We Support

Flexible engagement models that fit your organization's needs, timeline, and budget—from single workshops to ongoing partnership.

On-Demand Advisory

Book a workshop, retreat, speaking engagement, or one on one coaching when you need targeted support for a specific challenge or event.

Project-Based

Defined-scope programs like team assessments (DiSC, Five Behaviors), custom training design, or facilitated strategic planning sessions.

Ongoing Partnership

Sustained leadership development support through the Zen Leader cohort program, monthly coaching, or embedded consulting for long-term organizational change.

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.
