We support mission-driven leaders with culture change, personal alignment, and sustainable organizational leadership.

With 25-plus years of coaching, consulting, facilitation and training, Conditioning Leaders helps you and your organization be top performing.

We support family leaders, community and network leaders, business leaders, non-profit leaders, organizations and coaches. We support leaders to dismantle old institutional ways that perpetuate structural and cultural inequities. We want leaders to lead inclusively (in their first leadership role), manage career advancement in an authentic and transformational way, and set a new standard for other leaders and organizations.

Humans need to feel and experience a sense of belonging. Humans need to live in harmony with our environment, so we can have a home for 1000 more years and beyond. 

We care about creating leaders who honor and support inclusive, holistic, humble, vulnerable, collaborative, transparent and transformational change processes. 

BELONGING, EQUITY, INCLUSION, DIVERSITY

Organizations profoundly shape individuals and communities.

Organizations are the institutional structures in which people gather. We are a social species and belonging to networks, groups and organizations gives meaning to our lives. At Conditioning Leaders we are committed to working with networks, teams and organizations to make them the most visionary, sustainable and aligned environments they can be so that they serve and support individuals, communities and the world in which they are connected.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

Leadership qualities and skills are mastered over time.

Leadership is learned. Change is possible when we cultivate the capacity to observe patterns and practice new habits.

We use a combination of approaches so our clients can embody what they’re learning, because we understand that leaders learn in different ways.

TRAINING FOR COACHES

Coaching is a profession that invites life-long learning.

There are many ways to become a coach. At Conditioning Leaders, we introduce and mentor clients to coaching as a career, introduce somatic coaching principles and practices, supervise coaches who already have a practice, guide coaches to clarify their offer, teach coaches how to design an outcomes-based approach and develop a fee structure to increase their income.
