Using three strategies, called The Three Pillars, we assist businesses and
organizations in crafting the culture they envision.
These three Pillars, Measure,
Maximize, and
Maintain, are used either
independently of one another or combined to create a blueprint or compass for
mastery.
We’d value the opportunity to have a discovery conversation about your culture
with you. Contact us:

Measure - Before you hire
The Performance Profile is an assessment tool
used to assist in making hiring decisions. It measures thinking, not behavior.
It recognizes that all behavior occurs as a direct result of the different ways
in which people make decisions. With the information acquired from The
Performance Profile, a decision can be made about whether or not the job
requirements and the applicant’s thinking/decision style are a match.
Why is it important to measure?
The strength and profitability of our companies is dependant on our people.
Hiring the wrong person or putting a person in the wrong job, costs you money.

Measure - Identifying and Developing Strengths of Employees
Using the Performance Profile
to measure talent
of potential and existing employees allows for greater development of the
person. Depending on individual company needs, a number of different reports are
available. Some of these include Sales, Customer Service, and Management.
Sample Reports.

Maximize - How do we maximize talent?
Bob Nardelli, CEO of Home Depot, believes that without a coach, people "will
NEVER reach their maximum capabilities".
We agree. Coaching is the tool we use to maximize talent.
Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients
produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches
assist your employees to improve their performance and enhance the quality of
their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to
individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the
client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The
coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and
creativity that the client already has.
– International Coach Federation
definition.
A coach is one who specializes in people. By encouraging and acknowledging the
individual, a coach supports personal and professional achievement and goal
accomplishment. The coaching process is interactive and collaborative.

 |
The intention is that through our coaching process, an organization cultivates
its own ongoing coaching culture. That is, a culture that embraces the
competencies and attitudes of coaching; a culture in which listening, support,
and acknowledgement for all, radiate and thrive.

Maintain – How do we deal with everyday stressors?
Peak Performance is what we want from and for our employees and ourselves. The
following is an excerpt from
Stress at Work.
Stress, Health, and Productivity
Some employers assume that stressful working conditions are a necessary evil
- that companies must turn up the pressure on workers and set aside health
concerns to remain productive and profitable in today's economy. But research
findings challenge this belief. Studies show that stressful working conditions
are actually associated with increased absenteeism, tardiness, and intentions by
workers to quit their jobs - all of which have a negative effect on the bottom
line. |
|
Recent studies of so-called healthy organizations suggest that policies
benefiting worker health also benefit the bottom line. A healthy organization is
defined as one that has low rates of illness, injury, and disability in its
workforce and is also competitive in the marketplace.
NIOSH
research has identified organizational characteristics associated with both
healthy, low-stress work and high levels of productivity. Examples of these
characteristics include the following:
- Recognition of
employees for good work performance
- Opportunities for
career development
- An organizational
culture that values the individual worker
- Management actions
that are consistent with organizational values

End of excerpt . . .
Stress and negative emotions usually
go hand in hand.
Organizations cannot afford the long-term consequences of workplace stress. In
addition to the effects on workers’ health as stated in the above government
report, stress and negative emotions impact the bottom line of any company.
We are all familiar with the Law of Gravity. We know it does not make any
difference if we believe in this law or not, it is always working. If we step
off a curb, or a ten-story building, the law is active; we will go down.
 |
There is another law, perhaps not as familiar. This is The Law of Attraction.
Always active as well, whether we know about it or believe in it, it says: that
which is like onto itself, is drawn. Like attracts like. It works in this way:
whatever we focus on expands, gets bigger. The more emotion connected to the
subject of focus, the more quickly the results reveal themselves.
However, we can affect the outcome of this law.
It is not necessary for us or our employees to continue experiencing levels of
stress that adversely affect our daily activities. Recent new findings have
given us techniques that facilitate the rapid clearing of the negative emotions
present when we feel stress. Utilizing these techniques releases the emotions
and returns us to a state of calm and control.
|
EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique is one such method. Easily and quickly taught
to the client, its use creates an almost immediate relaxation response for most
people. EFT consists of a process whereby the participant taps on the Chinese
Acupuncture meridian points of the body, while at the same time maintaining
thought focus on the emotion one is currently feeling as a result of stress.
Emotions influence people and their behavior. When we
learn how to manage our emotions, we are better able to add enthusiasm to our
activities and interactions with other people.
Those who have the ability to infuse the environment with enthusiasm are
valuable employees and leaders. These individuals are the people who, because of
their way of being and the energy they bring to the workplace, have the
potential to dramatically affect the bottom line of any company or organization.
Transformation within any organization is possible. We are your partner and
support in the crafting and cultivating of a business culture where the bottom
line sees the results. Where employee strengths, talents, and abilities are
maximized, and where every interaction between employees, customers, vendors,
and shareholders results in a positive outcome.
