Understanding Your Center Is Where We Begin

The circumstances leaders face today’s workplace are exceedingly complex and changing at an extraordinary clip. This new normal can be described by a military acronym VUCA – adopted by the corporate world, VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. Leading in a VUCA world is exciting and daunting at the same time. One leader or one function of a company cannot outwork or outsmart VUCA alone – this new normal requires innovative and fresh approaches to leadership and engagement.

Leading from Center is a specific approach to help leaders lead with intention. Being intentional and thinking about what we are really wanting and why sets leaders up to work from a place of calm, clarity, and conviction.

We help leaders define their Center through work we do to around five clarifying areas:

1. Signature Leadership Lessons : Examination of key lessons that formed the leader’s current view of leadership
