Why TLC

We believe that companies are more than a balance sheet or profit & loss statement. They are living, breathing entities filled with people who have a heart and soul, that when fully engaged in the workplace, can make the difference between an average and extraordinary organization.

Our belief is that everyone in an organization is a leader. Distinctly different than a traditional leadership perspective, we hold that all team members are “relational leaders” with the ability to impact and influence other employees, customers, vendors and the community. We assert that this form of leadership is present in all employees regardless of job title or function. When relational leadership is empowered, the culture within a company is energized, and teams and organizations flourish. When relational leadership isn’t acknowledged, or is left to its own development, it can hinder teams and organizations leading to superficial trust and mediocre results.

With this in mind, the key intention of our work is to close the relationship gaps that exist in teams and organizations while equipping teams and companies with insight and skills that improve trust, listening and communication. We have identified these as three core issues that impact the level of engagement and productivity of teams within organizations.

Our approach to developing the scope of work is based on conducting an initial discovery process to understand the current reality for each potential client. As we identify the specific needs, we clarify the vision and desired outcomes which facilitates the design of the work we do. Each engagement is co-created with the client and is personalized to meet the client’s needs while integrating our experience and framework to achieve maximum results.
