Conscious Change Leadership: A Strategic Approach to Transformation
10 Key Strategies for Leading Transformational Change
HOW WE WORK
Co-founder, Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson, with Valgerdur Hrund, CEO of Sensa, Iceland
We work in partnership.
We build conscious leadership and change leadership capability in our clients to ensure current and future success.
We help our clients identify the breakthroughs they need and provide the capability development and ongoing support to deliver them.
We bring a structured process and a level of discipline and rigor that is customized to each client’s needs.
We start in the C-suite, because executive mindset and alignment set the tone for what can be accomplished in the organization.
We go deep and help leaders uncover and transform the limiting mindsets and behavior that would otherwise derail their efforts.
We integrate being and doing. We catalyze breakthrough mindsets that spur new innovation, plus provide the transformational strategies and methods that drive informed action.
