“We need a leader who’s bigger than the job,” was a colleague's insight years ago as we talked about who could succeed as the next head of the Space Station Program. He didn’t mean a big ego; we’d seen a number of them stumble already. He meant big like a mountain range; big like the ocean. How does one become this expansive and powerful? By harnessing the energy of the whole leader and artfully working with the energy of any situation. That's what we help leaders do...be bigger than the job.
- Dr. Ginny Whitelaw
Right energy, Right now...
What are the chances of you using the right energy at the right time? Pretty random if you don't know the energy patterns, or what you're using most of the time. The result is partial performance and needless exhaustion. Imagine getting better results with less struggle. Move to Greatness shows you how.
From coping with complexity to using complexity for transformation;
from playing catch up to changing the game;
from "It's all about me" to "I'm all about it;"
from barely managing to leading fearlessly.
We invite leaders to a profound flip in knowing who they are and how to embody leadership that transforms:
- where one's inner condition supports outward excellence;
- where life and work are not a false dichotomy, but rather
mutually supportive;
- where innovative work climates flourish, and multiple
views are optimized to a greater good;
- where young businesses mature and mature businesses
regain the wellspring of growth.
We help leaders…
flip from coping with situations to transforming them, from partial performance to whole leadership, from being prisoners of their style, to artfully managing their own and others' energy. Whether it's an upsized role or a downsized team, the necessity for innovation or improbable growth - we help leaders be bigger than whatever challenges they face.
Our purpose is…
to catalyze the development of whole leaders and the success of the teams and businesses they lead. We do this through embodied learning and the wise managment of energy, paradox, and innovation in everything from rethinking business models, to re-energizing oneself and re-engaging colleagues.

For leaders and practitioners…
Our integrated perspective and research into the energy patterns of personality inspired the development of the Focus Energy Balance Indicator (FEBI™) for knowing and authentically expanding leadership abilities, improving communication and more. Understanding the energy of teams and organizations, and what's needed for an innovative climate, high performance, and full engagement, led to the creation of the Focus Climate Indicator (FoCi™). In addition to our direct work with leaders, we train and certify coaches and other development practitioners in our innovative, energy-pattern technology. Learn more.
