We are a management consulting firm that helps organizations manage and develop their Gen X and Gen Y professionals.

Specifically, we train/coach younger professionals on:

• Attacking ambiguity with confidence and initiative.
• Using personal responsibility to overcome the impact of office politics.
• Improving relationship building and interpersonal skills.
• Adopting a sales-driven mindset.
• Refining the ability to give and receive accurate, actionable feedback (formally and informally).
• Communicating professionally and astutely.

Our work is with front-line professional employees as well as up-and-coming managers and executives. For higher level individuals, programs also put additional focus on:

• Motivating teams.
• Leveraging Web 2.0 technologies appropriately to enhance communications with peers, subordinates, clients, vendors, and prospective employees.
• Creating talent acquisition processes that attract ideal candidates.
• Identifying professionals with future executive potential.
• Executing politically savvy communications.
• Integrating personal and team development into daily work flow.
• Refining management styles to balance formal power with personal influence.
• Reviewing and enhancing organizational design.
• Obtaining honest, objective, interpersonal feedback.

Our coaches and consultants seek first to help clients leverage existing, internal strengths before developing new skills from scratch. We use a proven project management methodology to streamline projects. We also speak plainly: our focus is always practical and results focused. Our goal is designed to help the client make faster and more accurate decisions, today and in the future. Everything we do, from our coaching approach to the design of this website, is designed to put relevant information in clients’ hands with as little fluff as possible.

We work with Fortune 500 companies, large privately held companies, and small- and mid-size companies as well.
