When Your Life and Org Culture Are Not Aligned:

Lower Results

Many people think that having a strong mission, vision and values is the end of the story. In fact, it is just the beginning.

When day-to-day actions do not align with stated values, it creates a visceral disconnect that repels people from fully engaging.

Unhealthy Conflict

When people bury their anger, gossip, or accept a toxic situation as normal, you have a problem.

You may think you are being nice but when anger and resentment are hidden everybody's effectiveness suffers and nobody is growing.

The Endless Checklist

Without a systematic way of prioritizing actions, life can feel like an endless checklist. You just have assigned tasks and low engagement.

When that happens:

Energy gets zapped and life loses its flavor.
Impact is elusive.
Retention suffers.

Time to Become Intentional

Be the leader people WANT to follow.

The power of invitation extends to you whether you are a positional leader or not you can:

Be clear and inclusive in your communications, and keep your eye on the prize.
Stand for your values.
Keep your "WHY" at the center of everything you do.

When you are fully leading from intention, you are present, focused and moving towards your vision. Your attention is spent on what furthers this vision and it bocomes relatively easy to prioritize, delegate, and set appropriate boundaries. It creates an attractive energy that people want to be part of.

Testimonials

Vanna Whitney, AIA, CGBP

Principal,

Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects

The course was excellent! The 4 pronged approach to teaching the leadership/ boundary content was an effective way to guide us through concepts that while not so complex, do take a while to sink in and require thought and implementation to understand, and practice in order to adopt.

Janet's teaching during the meetings, and videos and worksheets afterwards gave us excellent content to work with inside and outside the meetings.

Janet's coaching of the group, and teaching the group to coach each other: a) helped cement the concepts we were learning, b) helped broadened our exposure to ideas and issues beyond our own as we learned from hearing other participants' coaching and c) modeled how one can carry the discipline of empowering leadership forward for oneself.

Janet has helped me tremendously to better visualize and articulate my potential, which has translated into tangible career growth.

She has deep business experience which combined with her coaching tools and frameworks also made me stretch and learn to be more effective in my current role.

Janet is generous, authentic and above all snaps me out of it when I fail to see the obvious.

I would recommend her to any professional who is looking to be more fulfilled in their career.

Working with Janet is an experience that goes beyond the usual coaching session. We worked one-on-one to look at where my career is headed, where I would like it to go, and what is holding me back from achieving my goals.

But it doesn't just end with a to-do list and a promise to review in a week or two. Instead, we spent time looking deeper into the darker regions of my psyche where the resistance to success originates, and we explored how that manifests in my daily reality.

I left with a new sense of self awareness that I was able to apply directly to my daily activities. Janet's approach is to confront the fears and beliefs that just get in the way of success and happiness. It is not psychotherapy... it is an application of self realization.
