INNOVATION leadership JOURNey
Our innovation leadership journey transforms how executive teams operate by fostering greater cohesion, agility, and urgency through our empowering leadership academy. The Jumpstart phase assists them in building awareness of their responses to risk, uncertainty, and change, both individually and collectively; identifying potential blind spots or areas where they might get stuck; and uncovering their underlying sources of tension.
These insights enable us to clarify and prioritize the problems they choose to tackle within their leadership team. By navigating the resolution of their own challenges, they gain a deeper understanding of the innovation process and learn how to apply their insights to solve customer and stakeholder problems effectively.
Success Story: “One of our core principles is self-awareness…Lori brought that lens with the discipline of Kolbe. The distinguishing factor for me was the way she connected it to the process of innovation. I saw it come together in a very impressive way at the Executive Committee retreat.
Lori brings not only a depth of knowledge and experience, providing the credibility our leaders needed to see, but she also exemplifies the innovation leadership journey, transforming what we have into a learning tool rather than a roadblock or obstacle. Our team is developing this collaboration capability through our collaborative teams programs; we have a bond, a construct, and support in doing that.”
Angie Sebastian, Strategic Advisor & (Past) Chief Executive Officer, LP
empowering leadership academy
Our 90-day Empowering Leadership Academy is designed to transform how leaders navigate stressful transitions and enhance team dynamics through innovative leadership journeys. This program helps you develop a deeper awareness and understanding of, as well as empathy for, the patterns of actions, interactions, and emotions of both yourself and others. These insights will empower you to transform how your collaborative teams work together, ultimately allowing you to become a beloved, empowering leader.
Success Story: “The program was huge for me…an instruction manual for MY leadership. It helped me become more self-aware…not only of where I was coming from, but how to maximize others’ strengths, leveraging them for the benefit of the group and for myself. It helped me control my instincts, understand my colleagues better, and protect my integrity with the group.”
Kevin Slaughter, Partner In & Leader of the Corporate Practice Group, LP
COLLABORATIVE TEAMS PROGRAMS
Our Collaborative Teams Programs transform stressful team dynamics, enabling leaders to empower their teams to achieve results with speed and agility. During the Discovery phase of our Empowering Leadership Academy, we provide actionable insights into team challenges, identifying potential sources of conflict, blind spots, and inertia.
Leaders cultivate the ability to communicate with and support each team member based on their unique strengths while smoothly integrating new team members. Teams enhance their capability to communicate and collaborate through skill-building tools and practices that are part of our Innovation Leadership Journey.
Success Story: “It was so eye-opening to understand how I approach work and how that's NOT the way everyone else does. What does that mean for team dynamics? The self-awareness is crucial, especially when working with engineers, as you often encounter similar patterns.
As a coach, it greatly assists me when team members experience friction or frustration with one another, as well as when things are going well or not. It’s essential to address the underlying issues because that’s where real change happens—not just what’s visible on the surface. The impact on leaders and teams is truly lasting.”
Patricia Rotman, Agile Coach, CME Group
