What we do:
We serve leaders and management teams around the world who want to expand their leadership to leverage human potential in their organization for breakthrough business performance. We help leaders and their teams solve their biggest problem or achieve their most important goals.
- Do you have pressure from your board or boss for results?
- Do you question whether you have the right team in place to do what you need to do?
- Do you need to execute or innovate faster?
- Do you have urgent or challenging goals / metrics?
- Are quarterly deadlines keeping you from what you really need to do?
We can help.
How we do it:
We collaborate with leaders to develop a standard or customized coaching/training development plan based on the leader's goals and context. We are guided by the results of our proven, proprietary, reliable and validated assessments and coaching techniques. We have a combined 60 years of experience in business, human behavior and neuroscience. We provide 1:1 coaching or training in the context of each leader's values, team, goals and incentives. We listen, nudge & challenge, encourage & celebrate, cause leaders to think/try, create self-awareness & confidence, and have fun.
Are you facing any of the following challenges / inflection points in your business? We can help.
● Restructuring/ New Team(s)
● Mergers / Acquisitions
● Industry Changes / Chaos
● Rapid Growth
● Changes in Strategy
● Executive Team Alignment
● Employee Engagement
What we believe:
Breakthrough Performance is the result of connected people creating new ways to meet challenges. Connected people, those that are aligned, cohesive, working well together:
1) Work/live with purpose
2) Feel ownership
3) Recognize their place in the system, and see how what they are doing, their work tasks, contribute to their personal growth and the growth of the organization
4) Create trust, giving them access to their creativity and innovative capacities
Why we do it:
1) We like the pressure and excitement of delivering on a challenging goal WITH you, 2) We love to see people come alive and together with energy, strengthening the bonds between people and ideas, creating new conceptual frameworks and profitable growth, 3) We are energized by your successes.
How we’re different:
Depth and results. We feel giving short seminars and abbreviated programs is on the verge of “just stealing your money.” We have NOT found data (research) suggesting that seminars or reading provide anything more than basic awareness and maybe a basic skill. If the goal is truly elevating your leadership potential and company performance, few consultants can create an environment for transformation - in any amount of time – WE CAN. Further, we take a SYSTEMS approach to individual and company growth – not a fad or contemporary twist on leadership, business systems or strategies. Breakthrough Performance is more holistic and relies on the learning / activities / successes in an integrated fashion – and in the context in which the individual(s) find themselves. When you have the right team, with focus on robust processes and continuous improvement systems, entrepreneurial and innovation systems and behaviors, and invest & believe in the human potential of yourself & employees… Amazing things will happen!
Results:
From our Hungarian Client Yann Menetrier, Groupama Insurance Hungary CEO. His organization successfully transformed sales and profitability in a competitive and declining insurance market, after putting the top 86 managers through coaching/training:
"I am very confident of the next steps. I already know that management skills development is a long road requiring patience, willingness and determination, and of course measurement. People are understanding what is happening now because they started experiencing that behaving differently is possible and can be a source of success. As a 'rational' leader, we just have to admit that time to time it is worth investing much less in IT tools and process ...and a bit or much more in human potential."
"For me, Andy was a positive and trusted collaborator, listener and sounding board on strategy, execution, and communication for employee engagement. Rich provided masterful insight into human behavior and developing trusting relationships to garner staff alignment. They both added exceptional value to me and the organization. Together, they form an amazing duo to help you grow faster."
- Gary Rychley, Former President, Colder Products Company, current President of FasTest
“Dr. Bents was remarkably effective. Identifying specific behaviors in need of changing, designing and implementing interventions, and holding me (and my direct reports) accountable to realistic standards of excellence; he was unsurpassed. Rich’s ability to quickly establish trust is essential to his coaching success.”
