Would you like to remove all the blocks and obstacles that are keeping your company from being wildly successful and profitable?
We identify and measure the intangible elements of your company that invisibly
determine your firm's success or failure:
- Culture and Values
- Organizational Mood
- Power Structures
- Employee Skills and Aptitude
- Employee Satisfaction and Motivation
- Communication Climate
- Infrastructure
Our innovative and proven approach gives you immediate and relevant knowledge. Culture Builders handles sensitive concerns with discretion and good judgment. We clearly frame complex issues and help you put together a plan that is simple and actionable.
Using this powerful tool, we helped MarketBridge achieve a 38% annual growth rate. See how we did it. It can work for you, too!
Key Elements of Culture Builders' Approach:
Strategic Focus -- a keen understanding of business economics and finance provide a focus on top line growth and bottom line efficiency.
Anthropological Inquiry -- using proven methods of ethnographic inquiry to gain a quick and deep understanding of complex systems.
Safe Conversations -- using active listening and coaching techniques to create a safe space for honest and meaningful dialogue.
I am not a traditional consultant. Have you ever heard a traditional consultant say, "Wow! I caught you doing some great things here -- let's focus on what else we can do that is incredible"? Me neither.
Traditional consultants focus on "problem-solving". Hiring consultants rarely makes a company smarter or more capable because skills are not transferred to the company's people. That is why I have shifted my approach from consulting to coaching.
I will help you to see things from a new perspective so that opportunities emerge where frustration used to dwell. You will gain new skills and strategies that will last you a lifetime - so that you don't go from problem to problem, but instead focus on the future and creating powerful opportunities for your work and life.
One
of my most powerful gifts is my ability to help people see exciting
opportunities where others see only problems. I support my clients as they reconnect
with their inner wisdom, shift the way they view themselves and the
world, and move courageously forward.
My experience in the corporate trenches and succeeding outside the Corporate Cubeworld is invaluable in helping companies and
individuals successfully transcend the Corporate Cubeworld.
