We transform leaders at their core.
Engagement is flat.
Despite the money and attention that has been spent on employee engagement over the last decade, very little progress has been made. More than half of the workforce is not engageed and the cost is staggering.
Engaged employees need engaged leaders.
Stress is #1 Workforce Issue
It is costing north of $300 billion annually in lost productivity. Stress isn't something that happens to us, it is what we perceive or believe to be true about our circumstances. Work is more often a source of FRUSTRATION than one of fulfillment for nearly 90% of the world’s workers (Gallup 2013).
Adaptability is the future of leadership.
Problem: rapid change, increased uncertainty, anxiety and stress is resulting in catastrophic economic and mental health impact for millions failing to adapt fast enough. Adaptability is the #1 in-demand skill. (LinkedIn Learning Workplace Learning 2021)
- 40% of jobs that exist today will not exist in 10 years time (World Economic Forum)
- 375 million people may need to switch occupations and learn new skills (McKinsey & Company)
- Depression & anxiety cost the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity every year (World Health Organization)
The bottom line
Most leadership development programs provide critical and relevant skill devleopent, but they don't truly change a leader at his or her "core". If a leader is negative and judgmental before training, they will likely be negative and judgmental after training, just more skilled.
Adding skills without some level of mastery over self-leadership is at the root of this dilemma.
We help leaders connect inner purpose and values with outer goals and strategies to achieve extraordinary and sustainable results.

Mary Ann H. - Fortune 500 Company
I was looking to enhance our team’s dynamics, not only with our customers but also with each other. Strategies for Success helped the team by delving into the 7 Core Energy Levels and how people are both present and perceived during daily business interactions. The opportunity for team discussion and development grounded in the science and logic of energy levels provided behavioral skills customized for each team member. We were able to incorporate the new learnings immediately into our daily lives and periodically discuss work challenges and how energy levels can be applied during our staff meetings. The investment with Strategies for Success was definitely worth it.
