As a fast-growing technology company, the desire to move quickly can mean a default to leading by telling and giving advice. We now have a thousand employees who understand the power of slowing down the rush to advice, and staying curious long enough to reflect on root challenges—and how important this practice can be for deepening understanding and relationships with others.

The interactive workshops have been very effective in helping us create a coaching culture. Not only are they educational, they are also engaging. The concepts are simple and practical, and the format has you immediately practicing and applying the learning. We’ve had great feedback from participants and are now working to scale the concepts broadly across the organization.
