Resources (FREE STUFF!)
The work of a coach is to accelerate a person’s or team’s growth and to help them get better at those things they identify as development goals. In other words, we strive to make work and life a little easier.
Here are some resources we’ve developed that leaders and teams use to go beyond usual and ordinary in their work.
Micro-Learning Experiences
These micro-learning experiences provide an overview and instruction to help leaders and teams navigate change and transition, create alignment, build capacity, and coordinate action. Each learning experience is 10-15 minutes in length and includes fillable PDFs for download.

Organizational change is not a bug in the system; it’s a feature. Things change all the time.

Ultra Leadership Checklist
A self-assessment based on the Ultra Leadership 360 for Individual Contributors.
Are you ready to lead?
Ultra (beyond usual and ordinary) leadership is the willingness to push toward new horizons. Combine that desire in a leader with the skills to get people to engage and contribute their best, and opportunities abound. Leadership of this type is an heroic act in that it represents a life-long undertaking of a daily experience of pushing past our own limits and the limits presented by the systems in which we work. Every manager has an opportunity to exhibit ultra leadership. Many do not take that opportunity. Author Joseph Campbell wrote, “The heroʼs journey is one of the universal patterns through which that radiance shows brightly.”
