I gained significant value from my first engagement with Bobbie and asked her to continue supporting me and my growing sales team at Insightly. Bobbie is sincerely invested in my success and has had a material impact on my effectiveness as a leader. Her influence has helped me build the kind of engaged, high-performing team that is critical today.
Bobbie helped my team realize their potential as people and techies, and work together as a team that would be an example for the rest of our company. With Bobbie we developed the behaviors and understanding of each other that created the cohesive, high-performing team we have today.
Over the past 3+ years, Bobbie has worked with more than a dozen of our most promising leaders and their teams. Her background as an operating exec in companies at scale, together with the Five Behaviors, has helped our leaders become more effective and extend what they have gained from working with Bobbie to their own growing teams.
We combine the principles of Positive Leadership with the Five Behaviors Team Assessment to help mature companies and late-stage ventures accelerate their sales results. With this unique combination, participants achieve greater success because they are able to:- recognize team members’ workplace styles and signature strengths- build trust and team cohesiveness- focus on achieving short-term results while building long-term capabilities - learn how to successfully navigate different prospects’ buying styles- practice the art of “slowing down” so they can accomplish more and enjoy their jobs
We combine the science of Positive Leadership with the Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team Assessment to help start-up Leadership Teams make the critical step of “growing up.” Participants will know they’ve “grown up” because they will be able to:- recognize team members’ workplace styles and signature strengths - create alignment on key goals and priorities such as strategy and fundraising - model key leadership behaviors such as building strong teams and retaining highly engaged employees - identify and advance the core cultural values that launched and built the company- demonstrate that they are leaders, not just bosses
