Our Approach
We are here to help all of us tap into our innate potential and put it to work. We do so by taking you through a journey that integrates self-reflection, coaching, peer dialogue, deliberate practice and online gaming. We work online, in-person and hybrid to help you become more grounded in your true self(I), more connected to others (We), and more impactful and effective (It). Throughout our work we help you develop multiple dimensions of leadership, including the cognitive, emotional, somatic, systems and energetic aspects.
After a Mirror Assessment, in which we help you set your goals for the development journey, we typically guide you through the following stages: Leading Self, Leading Together, Leading Others & Leading Systems.

12 Principles
Throughout our work, we apply the following principles:
1. Make it short and simple
People have a lot on their plates already. We support people’s growth through simple, yet profound conversations and exercises that people tend to keep using, years after they were introduced to them.
4. Keep it real
We always start with what is really happening in people’s life and business. That becomes the impetus for doing the leadership and team development work. Working with people on their lived challenges increases motivation to grow and evolve.
2. Learn by choice
People learn little when they are told to. They learn much more when they really want to. We help people ignite their own fire for learning, by not forcing anything. We also call this LOVE: Letting People Voluntarily Evolve.
5. Be compassionate
Everyone has good reasons for being and doing the way they are now. We are not here to prove them wrong. We here to help them acknowledge and accept where they are coming from and discover new ways of being and doing they may choose to try on and commit to if it aligns with their core.
3. Hold up a mirror
We ask people to draw their own conclusions on their strengths and opportunities. We don’t prescribe anything. We help them by using ways of interacting and tools that help people naturally become more self-reflective.
6. Help people help each other
People tend to learn a lot from each other, especially from the stories they share and the actions they witness. We create space for deep, transformative conversations to happen routinely.
7. Find the collective why; become together
People grow faster in community and even more easily when they share a vision of who they wish to become together. With teams and organizations, we create a collective why (in from-to’s) at the outset of the work.
10. Work together
We will be much more impactful when we stay close to the day-to-day experience of the organization. In team and culture development work, we work closely together with a V-team and others in the organization, to identify the issues and opportunities, and to design, plan, execute and adjust the work.
8. Generate energy that lasts.
We intend for people to find more energy by doing this work. We do so by helping people become aware and let go of the beliefs and fears that block their innate energy.
11. Be humble
We fail and learn. We will learn much more than we can imagine now. We adjust and iterate as we go along to help realize the vision. We are not about being right. We are about being of service in everything we do.
9. Steadily build momentum
We support people to gradually and naturally find their way with the new way of being and doing. Some people will go first, others will take some more time. With an attitude of unconditional support, we build energy for the new way.
12. Have fun
Doing this work together is such a meaningful experience, one that many people get to experience never or very few times in their lives. We love this work and we find that bringing joy and enthusiasm to it makes the whole journey that much more impactful and fulfilling.
