You’re here because you want innovative ways of improving your performance. I’m an expert in building influence and relationships, leading change and connecting with people, no matter their role or location.

 

Business owners typically come to me, saying:

We are experiencing a lot of resistance to change. How can we drive change as effortlessly as possible, make it last, and bring our employees along with us?

Our team and organizational culture isn't creating the results we'd like, how can we create a dynamic environment that drives performance?

There are a variety of ways we can work together, but don’t be limited with what you see below. Let’s chat and see how we can create magnetic work together.

 
 
 
 

If these bullet points resonate with you? You’re in the right place:

+ Change is something you instigate, not manage.
+ Stop asking how you can get buy-in. If you're trying to get buy-in, you're too late! Attract pre-orders, instead.
+ You need only two evangelists to change the world. Find yours.
+ Innovation comes mostly from frontline staff, not executives. Pay attention to yours.
+ Opposition trumps apathy. Resistance means people care.

Sentient Strategy

Every business needs a sound strategy to guide decisions and growth, but there’s a problem…

  • It’s expensive

  • It often results in little or no change

  • It takes a long time and is often obsolete as soon as consensus is reached

  • It’s rigid and hard to pivot in the face of disruption, volatility, and abrupt change (look at our current world!)

Thankfully there’s a solution.

Leanne is accredited in delivering Sentient Strategy®, a revolutionary approach to the traditional lengthy discussions that take weeks to produce a strategy that is obsolete as soon as a consensus is finally reached. 

The Sentient approach is meant to formulate strategy quickly, to be used immediately for as long as conditions warrant, and then to make changes rapidly as conditions change.  In times like these, you need a strategy that can be formulated in a matter of days, not weeks.

The Sentient Strategy® formula, originally created by Dr. Alan Weiss, is based on two elements:

  • Awareness of the environment: How well do you (the enterprise) view and understand the environment in which you now operate and will operate?

  • Consciousness of available actions: How well informed are you of the gamut of actions available to you that are appropriate and effective, and the consequences of taking action or not?

WHY Sentient Strategy®:

  • “In the moment” and able to accommodate disruption, volatility, and abrupt change—whether an outside introduction of an inside initiative.

  • Easily implemented and readily embraces all levels below the strategy formulation group.

  • Serves as an ongoing and daily template for decision making and is not a dusty binder on a neglected shelf.

  • Not an off-the-shelf regimen, but a flexible discipline which allows for the variations and uniqueness of any enterprise.

  • Simple to create metrics for all key officers and stakeholders given the agreed-upon priorities.

  • Less investment than any major strategy initiative.
