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 a system based on a proven track record integrating lean sigma tools customized to your needs. This system will clarify your vision, simplify your approach so you consistently reach your goals.

With work smart principles you achieve your targeted results and you will look at your leadership and operations in a whole new way – through the lens of these four key components.

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.

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.
