Our Statement of Faith can be found here.

We work with professionals and their teams to unleash maximum personal and inter-personal potential. Statistics show that people are most motivated, invested, and productive when they operate in a principled culture. We help professionals align institutional metaphors, values, beliefs, and attitudes in the hearts and minds of the employees. We help leaders implement character-centric leadership (creativity, sincerity, excellence, determination, graciousness, loyalty, dependability, etc).

We help with Emotional Intelligence (understanding and managing self and relationships) as well as Identity Intelligence™ (understanding one’s innate talents -- as well as one's blind spots, limitations, and potential derailers). Leading from reality empowers leaders to obtain, distribute, and manage, personal and institutional resources in a way that maximizes their team.

We do this through speaking, training, facilitating, creative problem solving, project management, team building, executive coaching, middle-management coaching, and group coaching. We also help leaders shape culture by creating corporate Coaching Universities and Leadership Universities.

YOU. Only Better.™ empowers leaders by creating customized coaching tools in organizations. From the needs assessment, to the tool creation, to strategies, to implementation – we help professionals build highly effective, efficient, and motivated teams and individuals.

Personal leadership coaching and life-coaching are effective tools for leaders at all levels to bring about personal and professional performance improvements. Coaches add value by helping clients address immediate, pressing needs. Coaches also add value by helping clients to look beyond the immediate to identify opportunities for improvement that are less obvious but often equally important.

Our comprehensive, customized approach to leadership-coaching, life-coaching, and executive-coaching allows our coaching clients to do both. We focus our coaching approach on two key elements – the change process and change levers. We help our coaching clients initiate and sustain an effective change process – understanding the drivers behind the change, identifying performance goals, measuring performance gaps, developing and implementing action plans, and monitoring progress.

Throughout the coaching process, we also supply customized coaching tools and coaching training. These resources not only empower the leader to leverage personal efficiency and effectiveness, but these coaching tools also provide the leader with resources to leverage change and productivity in their followers.
