I KNOW: THE FOUNDATION
OF SUCCESS

During nearly three decades in business, we’ve observed great leaders and struggling managers…vibrant, effective teams, and floundering frustrated ones. And we’ve found that one factor, one competency makes all the difference: Self-Awareness.

Great leaders know who they are—their strengths and weaknesses, their values, their style of leadership—and how they are perceived by their colleagues and staff. These competent leaders are open to feedback, they know what they need to do and change in order to grow and succeed. They know what they aspire to be, and how to get there.
Such individuals are the model for the methodology and framework we created for working with leaders and teams.

We call it The “I Know” System™ for Personal and Team Leadership Development. Clients who embark on this three-step approach understand how to lead in a manner that is authentic to who they are, and who they want to be.

ASSESS

Through Self & Others

Gain Insights about Your Personal Effectiveness and Overall Leadership Style.

The journey to enhanced self-awareness begins here, with honest assessments of yourself, as a leader and an individual, and a clearer understanding of how others perceive you. This is the foundational element of The “I Know” System™”, the platform from which the other elements derive their ultimate value. Here begins the work of discovering your authentic leadership style, based on who you are and how you appear to others.

ACT

Through Inspiration and Intention

Self-Awareness Inspires People to Be More and Do Better.

This is the reward for being open to assessment and receptive to feedback. Through a better understanding of themselves and the insights of others, our clients gain clarity about what they aspire to and what they need to do to get there. And they’re motivated to reach for higher levels of performance, re-engineer certain behaviors, and increase their influence through realistic, focused goal-setting and intentional, well-planned action.

ACHIEVE

Through Aspiration and Collaboration

Through application of The “I Know” System™, leaders and teams get to know and understand themselves and others better.

That knowledge gives them “emotional fortitude” and enables them to continue to learn and grow. Ultimately, The “I Know” System™ is not only about what “I Know.” It’s about what “We Know,” and how we use our collective knowledge, talents, and experience to work collaboratively toward success and a common vision of the future.

ACCELERATE RESULTS

We Have A Three-Step Approach to Accelerate What You Know

Successful application of The “I Know” System takes place most effectively when clients are at the apex of having the abilities needed to align with certain ‘accelerators’. In other words, knowing yourself at the deepest levels requires a willingness to step back, and understand what behaviors, beliefs, actions or perspectives limit the ability to say “I Know Who I Am” and “I Know What I Need to Do” and “I Know What I Want to Achieve”. That’s what is necessary for the process to be effective. When able leaders, individuals and teams have a positive (and courageous) receptivity to feedback and a willingness to make changes, the step-by-step approach is accelerated and so are the results.
