This leader held a vision of creating a team that was collaborative, creative, high-performing, and trusting of one another—but he hadn’t fully seen this realized in a way he resonated with in the corporate world.

Together, we leaned into his desire to lead, inspire, skill-build, and experiment in service of creating a new paradigm of leadership—one built on reciprocity, trust, and connection, not just authority and obedience.

His willingness to keep coming back to this vision and strategize thoughtfully to move through obstacles helped him create with his team a beautiful example of what teamwork can look like when individuals build the skills to understand motivation and desire, untangle outdated power dynamics, and practice healthy feedback and communication—all in service to a common vision WHILE elevating performance.
