Great leaders.
Real change.
Lasting impact.
We partner with family businesses, small-medium sized enterprises and mission-driven organizations to navigate the dynamics that matter most in the workplace, especially during periods of transition, transforming tension and misalignment into clarity, confidence and purpose.
Moments that matter
What matters to you, matters to us.
We support periods of:
Accelerated or desired change, performance and growth
Business, career, role and organizational transitions
Tension between persons and across organizations
-
Moments that matter most at work often include:
Leadership transitions and business succession
Leadership differences and competing visions
Desire for enhanced performance, growth or fulfillment
Difficult conversations and unresolved tensions
Communication breakdowns and unclear expectations
How these moments are navigated determines whether teams build trust, alignment, and sustainable progress, or become stuck.
-
In moments of tension or transition, we help organizations build:
Alignment to navigate complexity with clarity and shared direction.
Connection that strengthens trust, leadership, and collective ownership.
Sustainability so changes take hold and continue over time.
-
There are three reasons to work with us.
Breadth of Service & Continuity
Our work spans conflict, transition, and growth. With over 20 years of experience across diverse sectors and 100+ leaders and teams, we support both the human and system dynamics that shape workplace outcomes. Rather than stepping in for a single moment, we partner across the full lifecycle of change, providing continuity, insight, and momentum as needs evolve.
Customization & Flexibility
No two organizations, and no two situations, are the same. We adapt our approach at every stage, working alongside you to meet changing needs, scale support appropriately, and respond in real time as challenges and opportunities emerge. This work is supported by a range of 25+ assessment and tools, as well as AI powered tools.
Versatility & Specialization
We work across sectors essential to a functioning society, including government, healthcare, manufacturing, social services, and technology. Our services are tailored to the real-world complexities of family businesses, small- to medium-sized enterprises, and mission-driven organizations, where business decisions and human dynamics are closely intertwined.
Bespoke Services
Our integrative approaches transform tension and misalignment into clarity, confidence and purpose, often during periods of transition, strengthening leaders and teams to build trust, alignment, and sustainable progress.
The first step is a conversation to explore fit and next steps.
-
We resolve conflicts between leaders in the workplace. We collaborate with all stakeholders in a voluntary non-judgmental process to settle disagreements helping parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It's a valuable alternative to litigation, offering potential benefits like speed, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to preserve relationships.
-
We navigate team dynamics and leadership development ensuring teams are aligned, connected and sustainable. Team coaching helps teams enhance their agility, communication, and collaboration, ultimately boosting overall effectiveness. Leadership development equips leaders with adaptable and transferrable skills to lead effectively.
-
We partner with leaders and executives to enhance their leadership skills, performance, success and overall fulfillment. Clients have the option to augment sessions using assessments and AI-powered tools. This personalized approach focuses on the unique challenges, strengths, and goals of the individual leader, offering tailored guidance and support.
-
We engage, inspire and motivate audiences while applying interactive approaches to keynotes and workshops. We address topics that matter most to our audiences including change, conflict, leadership, overcoming challenges, uncertainty, polarity management, psychological safety, striving for success and well-being.
-
We specialize in creating unforgettable retreat experiences for teams and leaders that are geared towards both strategic alignment and well-being. These retreats offer a focused environment for discussing strategic goals, fostering team building, and addressing stress reduction and mental health. They can also be designed to promote a healthier lifestyle and improve overall company culture.
-
We offer a self-reflective and introspective practice called Focusing. During Focusing, your attention will open up to multiple layers and aspects of yourself. This requires a special kind of focus to notice how you interact with your situations and environment. Focusing allows an in-depth clarification process to happen and an internal experience to unfold.

Gentium ImmigrationThe best experience we had
Grateful for a productive leadership retreat with my team that was filled with growth, reflection, teamwork, and the vital significance of building strong relationships.
As a senior leader on my team said ‘This was the best team building day and experience. This was extremely helpful for our communication.’
Laurie Hepburn
Executive Director, Halton Women’s PlaceTremendously helpful
I have found Amanda's coaching to be crucial to my success as a leader. I took on several leadership roles over the years, and it was challenging to develop a leadership style in a virtual environment. I found Amanda's coaching to be supportive, and she provides me with valuable insights into my personality and leadership style. Having Amanda as a sounding board helps me become aware of areas that I need to improve. She has also helped me become more confident with my leadership style and come to terms with projects of mine that have not been successful. This is especially important in our current health care realm.
