Leadership Assessment Sessions

Assessments are a great way to raise your self-awareness so you can work more effectively. Not only do you learn about your own leadership style, but you also illuminate similarities and differences with others to get to know them and strengthen the team. We have a variety of assessments, facilitated by experienced trainers who will help you interpret the results. Each session is a half-day, offered virtually with the assessment reports delivered individually to each participant.

• Discovering Your Leadership Style (uses DiSC® profile)
• Engaging in Productive Conflict (uses Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument or TKI®)
• Understanding Ourselves and Our Colleagues (uses Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI®)
• Developing a Strengths-Based Approach (uses CliftonStrengths, formerly StrengthsFinder from Gallup®)
• Cultivating Relationships (uses Strength Deployment Inventory or SDI® 2.0)

Strategy Accelerator Workshop

Customized workshops offer leadership teams an opportunity to focus, reset and collaborate, whether they have been intact for years or are new to working together. Our best-in-class executive coaches and facilitators work with government leaders to create a session agenda that addresses their unique needs and will result in actionable outcomes and meaningful change. Workshops typically focus on topics such as establishing team dynamics, setting a strategic vision and fostering innovation. We include options for following up with leaders after workshops to ensure they are not just events, but part of a process to achieve greater impact.

360 Assessments and Coaching

Our experienced coaches work with individuals, teams and groups to help them reach their leadership goals, identify unique strengths and tackle organizational challenges.

In addition to individual support, we also offer our 360 assessment for groups and teams that want to identify collective strengths and collaboratively improve their leadership competencies.

Executive Development

Despite the critical role they play in government, executives lack training and development opportunities to become more effective leaders. We help government executives succeed by working with their leadership to design customized executive development programs, including group coaching sessions with experienced executive coaches, action learning projects, mentoring opportunities, conversations with former senior government leaders or C-suite leaders, and 360 assessments.
