LEVERAGE: The Power to Lead Effectively
Normal is over. We increase your leaders' leverage through innovative development.






Work Smart is a High-Performance System
Real. Targeted. Results.
To us “work smart” is more than a cliché. It is the intersection of mindful and agile, giving your leaders what they need to solve problems, empower their teams and exceed expectations. We integrate lean sigma tools, expert coaching and customize our approach to meet your goals. This system will clarify your vision and simplify your approach so you consistently reach your goals.

Purpose
Without a clear vision, people disengage, and you lose momentum.
People
Are the right people doing the right things? When responsibilities change, are the people growing with the changes?
Process
Do you have a system of core processes that everyone follows? Or are there work arounds and compromises to strategy?
Progress
Do you have accountability built into your process, so you move ahead? Do you have people who own their share of the outcome?

Cynthia has been amazing to work with. She demonstrates excellence in her profession. Her style and technique are superlative. I would recommend her for any needs for you have concerning stress and being a better manager.

When our department started coaching with Dr. Howard I was not sure what to expect. The assessments opened my eyes about how I was coming across to others. My relationships are better as a result.
Jen DeClerqMA, Director of Specialty Operations
Dr. Howard is the real deal. My life changed as a result of coaching with her. I think about things differently.

Working with Dr. Howard boosted my leadership confidence. Learning about my strengths helped me recognize I was making a unique contribution. Coaching is an investment into me and with it I was able to go for that promotion.

I enjoyed the assessments and appreciated how much the emotional intelligence assessment told me about how I was coming across to others. This process helped my entire leadership team increase their commitment.

Working with Dr. Howard enabled a promotion and as a result of that I had an experience I never thought was possible – I went to NIH to work on a project. I know the confidence I gained as a result of the coaching made all the difference.
