It’s time for a check-up

Your work is changing.
Are you?

Keeping up with a job that keeps changing. Moving up before you feel ready. Leading a change nobody asked for. Carrying a team or an institution through all three. Whichever it is, the first step is the same: find out where you actually stand.

The Leadership Doctor® is a consultant, coach, and catalyst for improved performance and productivity — for leaders who need to keep up, move up, or lead change.

The first conversation is free, and it is the only way anything gets scoped.

A good doctor does not prescribe what she has not examined.

One method. Six steps.

At your Check-Up
Examine. We look closely at where you are, what is in your way, and where you want to go.
Diagnose. You get written findings, in plain language, and we discuss them until you agree with them.
Prescribe. You set your goals on findings you helped settle, and I give you the order and the reasoning.
In care
Treat. We work the plan together, with a coach who holds you to it.
Follow Up. We make sure the change holds in your real work, and retake your Vital Signs to prove it.
Maintain. You keep the Regimen, and stay fit to lead.
Specialty care

The Clinics.

Programs for the specific things that derail leaders, each with its own examination and run in the same six steps. Two are open. Three are on the way.
