Elevating Leadership with Purpose

Vision Statement: Empower strategic transformation by elevating purposeful leadership and fostering meaningful connection and collaboration.

Mission Statement: To help leaders, teams, and organizations drive transformation through a deliberate, strengths-based, and strategic approach.

Approach & Methodology

Transformation by Design’s approach is comprehensive, holistic and strategic. In order to help organizations advance transformation as part of their overall strategic planning, Transformation by Design coordinates and facilitates a leadership and organizational assessment of existing strategy, capacity, and resources to identify strengths and opportunities.

The foundation of the Transformation by Design approach lies in Leadership and Transformation by Design Blueprint©, specially designed to help individual leaders, teams, organizations, and communities respond strategically to changing cultural, environmental, and organizational needs.

Our holistic approach to transformation and leadership development ensures that organizational leaders are better prepared to lead in ways that advance strategic goals. The Leadership and Transformation by Design Blueprint© is grounded in a philosophy and approach that combines theory, best practices, and real-world experience to advance leadership in four Domains of Leadership and Practice: Self, Others, Organization, and Community.

As part of our phased approach, we begin with strategic discovery activities to help us gather essential information and resources about organizational readiness and leadership commitment. This information informs our recommendations for initial priorities and determines how best to customize the implementation of our proprietary assessment tools and ultimate findings and practical recommendations.

What We Value

Growth-Minded Leadership

Inspired by the Chinese proverb, "Wherever you go, there you are!", we believe that transformative leaders start by focusing on their own growth in order to lead their team, organization, and community.

Strategic Inclusivity

Transformational leadership doesn’t materialize from good intentions. It happens by design. Successful leaders drive change with strategy and a strengths-based approach.

Sense of Belonging

Where transformation is the path, connection is the destination

Clarity-Driven Change

Leading and managing change requires personal and organizational clarity as to why it matters and a well-developed communication strategy.

Culture and Context

Self-aware leaders are grounded in culture and place. Whatever is happening outside of the organization, is also happening on the inside.

Our Team

Our work is supported by the expertise and skills of team members with decades of leadership service and proven success in executive coaching, speaking, leadership development, organizational effectiveness, and wellness strategy development and implementation.
