strategy design

Whether it’s for an organization or community, change efforts languish without an inspiring vision and clear strategy to focus and maintain action.

a systems approach

Initiating change is complex. It requires recognizing and connecting the systems and conditions that perpetuate problems and finding the right levers to achieve change.

Change brings resistance, tension and conflict. It’s unavoidable. What’s important is for leadership to manage conflict with an approach that keeps change moving forward.

"René's coaching continues to have a strong, positive impact on how I approach leadership. His trainings are right on target and practical."

"Our executive team and department managers are better decision-makers, communicators and team leaders as a result of René's trainings and coaching."

"As a growing nonprofit, CodeSquad has really benefited from René's leadership coaching and expertise in strategic planning. Rene has provided helpful benchmarks, best practices, clear priorities, and actions to achieve our goals."
