challenge is fuel

Leading through challenge isn’t easy, but it can be transformative. New roles and expectations don’t have to derail you.

We’ve been there. We get it. We are the support you deserve. We bring deep experience and insight from leading teams at companies like BCG, Starbucks and Nordstrom, as well as building startups from concept to exit. We work with law firm partners, private equity- backed CEOs and executives at Fortune 500 companies. Bring us your toughest challenge.

Don’t just tolerate pressure. Use it as fuel.

What we Do

  • You don’t have to struggle alone. We’ve been in your shoes - stepping into greater responsibility, growing, shrinking, and refocusing our teams. It can feel bewildering to have the very behaviors that fueled your success be seen as weakness as you move up. Leadership can feel lonely and isolating, no matter how large or small your team. We’re in your corner. We can help you cut through the challenge faster - and emerge stronger.

    • Impact : We turn your leadership goals into a customized action plan that achieves results, week over week.

    • 911: Leadership challenges don’t always arrive 9 to 5. Take advantage of 911 support for time-sensitive, high-stakes situations.

    • Evidence-based: We leverage research-driven psychometric tools such as the Harrison to identify the kind of leader you are under pressure - to help you get beyond enduring challenge to using it as a shortcut to higher performance.

  • What kind of a leader are you under stress? The Harrison is a research-based psychometric assessment that provides deep insights into your high performance traits - and how they shift under pressure.

    As leaders, we’ve been subjected to dozens of assessments. This is the only one that helped when we were facing challenging times.

    That’s why we provide a complimentary Harrison assessment to kickoff every engagement.

    We also offer optional 360 assessments to gather a broader perspective into the challenges you are facing.

  • How does your team perform under pressure? Challenge can “flip” collaborative, communicative team members into becoming recluses. Or “flip” thoughtful, thorough employees into erratic, volatile ones.

    Use challenges to forge greater strength as a team starts with understanding your “go to” behaviors under pressure.

    We offer a customizable session on Harrison team dynamics to press the reset button so you can all can focus on what matters - together.

    We also offer highly rated leadership training focused on teamship, managing through turbulence, resilience, hard conversations, and “entrepreneuring your life.” Our sessions are eye-roll proof. We draw from our hard-won experiences leading teams as consultants, venture-backed startups and Fortune 500 companies. We’ve walked the walk.

from our clients

  • “From our very first session, Jane’s deep insight from her experience being ‘in the hot seat’ made a huge difference. It sounds crazy, but I’m now excited by the possibility inherent in hard conversations instead of just dreading them.”

    CMO, Fortune 500 Company

  • “Angie’s invaluable counsel helped me to take my new role as a first-time CEO with the approach and confidence I needed to hit the ground running. Her coaching helped me to prepare from Day 1 to establish trust within my team and create a culture of candor.”

    CEO, Non-profit

  • “I have stopped feeling so alone ever since I started my coaching sessions with Jane. She can (and does) genuinely say, ‘that happened to me too!’ when I bring up a challenge. I trust her because I know her reactions and suggestions are grounded in first hand experience.”

    CEO, Private-Equity Backed Company

  • “Angie asks me the hard, thoughtfully crafted questions that lead to deeper insight and greater self-awareness. All with great empathy and warmth. She gets to the root of the matter faster because she thinks like someone who has been responsible for delivering results. She’s walked the walk.”
