OUR MISSION
To provide impactful, systemic development experiences for leaders and organizations that increase capacity in complex business environments.
HOW WE WORK
Just as a surgeon brings together highly skilled specialists on a case, Coaching Mindful Systems works as a multidisciplinary team on client engagements. We partner with clients first to assess their current challenges, opportunities and skills sets at a high level to gain an understanding of their current system. We then develop a strategy and design interventions that are timely and meaningful, either at the leadership, team or individual level – or some combination of those entry points that has the highest potential for systemic change. Our foremost priority is to provide an approach that has coherence and integrity for true behavioral shifts and organizational impact.
WHAT SETS CMS APART
CMS takes an unique approach in our strategies and solutions for organizations, leaders and teams. We focus on altering orientations and promoting thinking rather than knowing. Working from a partnership-oriented, highly collaborative and direct mindset, we embrace a “challenge and support” framework that raises our clients’ capacity for performance in uncertain conditions. Read about what our clients say about their experience with CMS.
WHO WE ARE
Leading and managing are two very different, yet co-dependent skill sets that are required by all organizations. Leadership copes with change while management copes with complex issues. Learn how to do both to set your organization up for long-term success and gain a competitive advantage.
