What is Qualitative Research?
The purpose of qualitative research is to provide valuable insights into your team. We help make sense of relational dynamics and identify the “how” of outcomes. This process serves to challenge the status quo at its core and pave the way for positive change.
Who Is Coaching For?
Our coaching programs are designed for goal-oriented leaders ready to take their organizations to the next level. We focus on the obstacles standing in the way of achieving results, address pain points and help leaders make strides in mindset, accountability and productivity to name a few.
Our Approach
We are a partner for leaders who know the value of challenging the status quo. We are part of the process necessary for organizations to better understand their purpose and live out their mission. We add value to companies by helping them accomplish more.
1. Start with listening
Listening is the key to all effective communication. Listening shows respect and regard for others. It helps build rapport and, when you listen, others will listen more carefully to what you have to say.
2. Identify the mission.
Knowing where you are going is a critical step in understanding how you are going to get there. This step in our approach provides a well-defined desired outcome.
3. Find and measure resistance.
The road to success will have challenges and obstacles to overcome. In this step of our approach, we identify where the resistance to change exists so that we can develop strategies to keep moving forward toward the end goal.
4. Prepare and educate leaders and team.
We are not on this journey alone and educating leaders and team members how to be an active part of the solution will be critical to success.
5. Illuminate the path to achieving mission success.
In this final step of our approach, we outline all the steps needed both now and in the future to achieve and maintain the designed goals and outcomes.

Suzanne was engaging, energetic and highly effective at every step of the process—from the personal interviews to the presentation of findings. She was able to lead in a way that was both collaborative and empowering, allowing the school to wholeheartedly embrace and endorse the results of the process.
