Leadership Development
Find the Right Fit
Every engagement starts with understanding what you’re facing. We’ll help you find the right fit, or tell you if we’re not it.
Every engagement is designed to build your team’s capability, not our revenue. We succeed when you don’t need us anymore. Clear investment conversations before any commitment. Clear outcomes. Easy exit if it’s not the right fit.
For Individual Leaders
Confidential peer support and one-on-one coaching for city managers, county administrators, and senior leaders navigating challenges that don’t fit neatly into a team setting.
Think Tanks
Confidential peer groups for city managers and county administrators. Monthly sessions with practitioners who understand your world. Two membership tiers based on depth of engagement.
Executive Coaching
One-on-one development for leaders navigating transitions, specific challenges, or targeted growth areas. Defined outcomes, not open-ended. Most engagements run 3-6 months.
For Leadership Teams
Workshops, retreats, and deep alignment work for teams ready to do the hard work together. From focused half-day sessions to comprehensive multi-week engagements.
Workshops
Focused sessions built on The Shift That Sticks methodology. From half-day experiential sessions to comprehensive multi-week leadership team engagements.
For Your Organization
Programs that build internal leadership capacity, culture infrastructure, and systems that sustain. Designed so the capability stays with your organization long after the engagement ends.
VisionSync
Comprehensive alignment engagement for leadership teams. Includes diagnostic interviews, facilitated sessions, documented agreements, and implementation support. Scoped to your team’s size and situation.
Culture by Design
Most organizational cultures developed by accident rather than intention. Culture assessment, intentional design, and implementation support that turns cultural intentions into systems and infrastructure.
When You Need Extra Capacity
Interim management and project-based consulting for transitions, vacancies, and specific challenges that need external expertise with clear endpoints.
Interim Management
When transitions create gaps. Not a placeholder, but someone who can maintain momentum and set up the next leader for success.
Consulting Services
Specific challenges requiring external expertise. Clear scope, defined deliverables, project completion.
How We Work
Evidence-Based
Every recommendation grounded in research. We cite our sources. We show our work.
Practitioner-Led
Government practitioners have trusted us with the truth about their constraints, the politics, and the public scrutiny they navigate. That trust shaped everything we do.
Confidential
What you share stays private. We understand FOIA concerns. Your candor is protected.
Completion-Focused
Engagements have endpoints. We build your capability so it stays with your organization.
Start a Conversation
Most engagements begin with a conversation. We’ll help you determine whether working together makes sense, and what the right starting point looks like.
No obligation. No pressure. Just clarity.
