Real Transformation Stories From Our Clients
From Bottleneck to Bench Strength
How Peer Group Coaching Built Leadership Capacity
Client: Rapidly scaling healthcare data and analytics company
Challenge: Growth was outpacing leadership capability. Mid- to senior-level leaders were overwhelmed, struggling to delegate, prioritize, and lead through others. The result: bottlenecks, burnout, and inconsistent execution.
Solution: We launched our Uplift® Peer Group Coaching program, an internal cohort experience built around real business challenges and where the organization was headed. Focus areas included:
- Managing mindset to stay focused and effective
- Feedback that creates ownership, not defensiveness
- Delegation that grows people, not just offloads tasks
- Making space to think beyond the day-to-day
Results: Leaders started leading at the next level. They stopped managing tasks and started owning outcomes. Silos gave way to cross-functional trust. And for the first time, we saw a bench of leaders ready to take on more, without waiting to be told how.
“The program really helped me help my team. Not only am I using what I learned to be a better leader, I’m also coaching and teaching them to use similar approaches.”
— Sr. Director, Strategic Partnerships
“The focus throughout the program on how to manage your mindset was a game changer for me. It quickly enabled me to think more strategically and delegate effectively.”
— Director, Account Management
“Uplift helped me crack the code on prioritizing my goals and my time and it has given me the structure and tools to support my team and my boss.”
— Sr. Director, Infrastructure
Building Leaders Who Build the Business
Strengthening leadership to accelerate execution and growth.
Client: A fast-scaling manufacturing company where business was scaling faster than its leaders.
The Challenge: Execution was uneven. Accountability was inconsistent. A few strong leaders were carrying too much while others lacked clarity on what leadership looked like, or required.
Solution: We built a behavior-based leadership model anchored in company values and aligned to the future direction of the business. Then we developed leaders across the organization through:
- Upgrading leadership skills fast, with a clear, consistent standard for how leaders show up and lead others.
- One-on-one executive coaching and peer group coaching for high-potential leaders
- Uplift Peer Group Coaching for a select group of high potential leaders
Results: Leadership became more distributed, and more accountable. The company built a strong leadership bench, improved execution across functions, and created the leadership capacity needed to sustain growth.
How Leaders Experienced Growth
Individual leaders described the changes they made in real time:
Shifting Accountability to the Team
"I'm learning how to set my team up for success without needing to micro-manage, preparing them to take on more ownership for major projects."
- Senior Marketing Manager
Driving Faster Cross-Functional Execution
"Our cross-functional teams used to miss deadlines because no one was paying attention to what others needed. Now, I'm helping the team collaborate earlier and complete projects faster."
- Director of Engineering
Reducing Knowledge Risk
"One of my key employees holds critical knowledge and is retiring in two years. I'm learning how to manage performance and transfer knowledge now, before it becomes a crisis."
- Operations Supervisor
Resolving Conflicts Faster
"By adjusting my communication style to match the person I’m working with, I'm reaching resolutions faster and keeping projects moving."
- Territory Sales Leader
Coaching for Ownership Instead of Telling
"Instead of jumping to solutions, I'm asking better questions and helping employees work through challenges themselves. It’s leading to stronger ownership and faster problem-solving.
- Finance Manager
Turning Potential into Performance
How 1:1 Coaching Helped a High-Potential Leader Scale Their Impact
Client: Mid-market technology company (confidential)
Challenge: A technically strong leader was being considered for a broader role but wasn’t fully showing up as a leader. Confidence wavered in high-stakes settings, feedback conversations were avoided, and too much work stayed on their plate instead of moving through the team.
Solution: Through targeted coaching, we focused on three core shifts: building quiet confidence, making feedback routine and effective, and learning to delegate without dropping the ball.
Results: The leader began running larger initiatives, pushed decisions down to the team, and created room to think and operate at a higher level. Their leadership wasn’t theoretical, it became obvious in how they showed up and what they delivered.
"Therese is the perfect blend of warmth and competence. She not only embodies executive presence, she knows how to unlock it in others in an authentic and practical way. She has a gift for articulating concepts in a way that makes it relatable and easy to consume."
– Jeff Schnoonover, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Indiana Vein Specialists
Our Approach
Real Behavior Change, Tied to Business Results
Leadership doesn’t change in a workshop.
It changes on the job, through behavior that’s practiced, reinforced, and visibly applied to the work that matters most.
We don’t teach leadership theory. We build leadership habits.
Each engagement centers on high-impact behaviors, custom-selected for its alignment to your business priorities.
Then we measure it.
Leaders track that behavior over 30 days using our Habit Builder tool, giving you visibility into what’s being applied, how it’s showing up in the business, and where it’s making a difference.
Clear signals your investment is working.
The approach combines:
Assessment-Based Insights
We use validated tools to surface blind spots and leadership patterns, so change starts with data, not opinion.
Habit Tracking & Visibility
We reinforce and track high-impact habits, providing measurable progress tied to real-world outcomes.
The result?
Leaders who scale their impact without losing what made them great.
And organizations with proof that leadership capacity is growing, faster, smarter, and in the right direction.
