Conscious Leadership Lives Here
Governance consulting that honours the new paradigm of business: where individuality is celebrated, business is sustainable, and decisions are made mindfully.
Business Is a Human Experience
Let’s face it: the traditional model of corporate governance is no longer cutting it. Instead of creating policies and procedures that ignore the human reality of work, the world’s most progressive organizations are embracing the humanness of business, using governance practices that respect how individual perspectives and experiences continue to impact decision-making.
After all, work is an inherently human experience. How can you claim effective governance without considering the unique skills, abilities, and viewpoints of decision-makers and those they serve and how that will impact decision-making?
These days, good governance is about much more than checklists and compliance. It’s about empowering your board of directors and leadership teams to make strategic decisions that serve the diversity of their people.
It requires an intuitive understanding of the humanness that exists within your organization.
What is
Corporate Governance?
You’re no stranger to talking about processes, procedures, and role clarity—the system by which your organization is directed and controlled
At its core, corporate governance is about creating the conditions to influence good decision-making in a way that works for your organization. It’s an opportunity to hold management accountable for strategic growth and thinking, encourage creative thought leadership, and lead from a place of purpose when done right.
The key is to ensure the governance system you create and the people using the system work together seamlessly.
As a lawyer and long-term corporate professional, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for organizations to move their governance efforts beyond checklists and compliance to consider interpersonal dynamics and other intangibles to see how they affect the decision-making process.
As a governance consultant, I bring my strategic perspectives on governance relationships to organizations to help break down silos and navigate personality challenges that are inherent in the governance model. I blend my passion for leadership coaching with my experience in the corporate governance sphere to help organizations consider the human makeup of their boards and management teams to encourage better collaboration, communication, oversight, and guidance.
My job is to help you find sustainable solutions that work in favour of your organization’s makeup so your teams can work in harmony and make organizational decisions driven by purpose.
Your People Crave Intentional Leadership and Support
The people your directors, boards and leaders are responsible for want to see you lead by example. To see conscious leadership and purposeful decision-making become the status quo.
That change starts here.
Here is your chance to approach corporate governance in a way that empowers your organization to embrace a new paradigm of business: one where individuality is celebrated, business is sustainable, decisions are mindful, and joy is available to everyone.
Are you ready to embrace the change?
