our philosophy
For thousands of years, people across cultures have used the stars to tell stories, find meaning, and navigate. Constellations have been the inspiration and means to accomplish big things for millennia: escaping slaves used the Big Dipper to point toward freedom, and Polynesians explored the vast expanses of the Pacific with celestial navigation.
We believe leaders create impactful organizations by connecting organizational strengths into powerful constellations — strengths that must include strategic, operational, and cultural domains to unlock the greatest impact.
​
We know how hard this is! Rare is the organization that has the needed expertise, capacity, and resources in place to move at the pace they’d like.
Coaching can be helpful — but following through on intentions is challenging without critical capacity. That’s why our experience has made us believers in what we’ve named CoachingPlus — the practice of pairing executive coaching with direct support. This means that when leaders identify an important priority through coaching, our team can help with implementation as well, in ways that are exceptionally cost effective.
Let's chart out where your team shines and how our team could connect any missing dots or help your stars shine brighter.
Rather than starting from scratch, we work with you inside a framework that serves as an excellent starting point. Using the templates, tools, and systems we’ve built, we adapt our frameworks to meet your needs, bringing to bear our expertise rather than reinventing the wheel. This means that by combining your team with ours, you are able to work more quickly and at much lower cost than if you leveraged your own team’s time alone. And that’s true across budgeting, culture work, goal-setting, hiring, board development, and much, much more.
Having been organizational leaders, we know how important it is for consultants to be highly invested in your impact, which is why we’ve made building strong and enduring relationships the center of our values. A strong relationship between our team and yours is the bedrock element of creating lasting impact together.
After all, change-making work is hard, and building the powerful constellation you want inevitably requires slaying some dragons — both external and internal.
​
That’s why our coaching approach is not just about nuts and bolts, but also about managing the emotional challenges faced by every leader.
