Your time at a company can take on many roles. As leaders, how are we thinking proactively about our team members' career paths? This session is designed for leaders who want to be a partner for their team members, providing an actionable growth path within their organization.

    • Discussion on career opportunities within the company.

Lead with Confidence

Building relationships, virtually or in person, requires preparation, establishing a presence, building rapport, and overcoming imposter syndrome. This session focuses on practical and actionable tips for being a trusted advisor to your customers.

  • New and emerging professionals who are eager to take control their careers with confidence.

  • • How to manage up in a hybrid work environment.

    • Actionable approaches to boost confidence when working with clients and in public engagements.

    • How to set boundaries and take time off.

  • Incorporate practical and actionable tips on being a trusted advisor with colleagues and clients.

Team Check-Up

Recent data suggests that employees who trust their managers, teammates, and leaders are more likely to absorb organizational change. One way to establish trust is to be more transparent about previously undocumented work expectations.

Through a closed-door session and as a team, we design a charter that emphasizes the benefits of an equitable work environment and establishes agreed-upon expectations. This demonstrates clear leadership and empowers employees to care about their well-being, reducing employee burnout and turnover.

  • New and existing teams looking to build trust and rapport across the group.

  • • The importance of how a team workplace charter empowers employees and managers to partner in decisions impacting their work/ life balance effectively.

    • Team policies based on pre-determined topics, which might include taking PTO, why meetings need to be scheduled, communications channels, how to communicate priorities, and offline/online work hours.

  • Feel an increase in morale and rapport, ultimately reducing stress and anxiety across the team.

Client Testimonial

Mark’s planted some really practical seeds on how each of us can prioritize our health and wellness and debunk the idea that ‘we don’t have time.’ I’m excited to see how this comes alive in our daily lives, and I highly recommend his session for any organization committed to the well-being of their team!
