Intention. Sequence. Impact.
Whether it’s our signature approach, The Compass Team Experience, or engagements that address specific needs, we ensure the right solutions happen at the right team, in an optimal sequence, and at the most impactful level.
FLAGSHIP OFFERING
The Compass Team Experience
The Compass Team Experience is a structured, sequenced approach to developing leadership teams and the individual leaders on them — in tandem, because one without the other doesn’t hold. Built for growth-stage, privately funded tech companies where the stakes are high and the timeline is real.
PHASE 01 • COMPASS TEAM FOUNDATIONS
Where the work begins.
The required starting point
Before the team gets in a room together, we first build a clear diagnostic picture of team health and culture. Then a three-day facilitated offsite is the midpoint, not the starting point. Two months of team coaching afterward ensures what was built doesn’t fade the moment everyone goes back to their day jobs.
WHAT CHANGES
- The team has a data-backed picture of what’s holding them back
- There is real alignment on norms, decision rights, and accountability
- The team starts saying what it’s been avoiding
- The CEO starts getting their time back
PHASE 02 • COMPASS TEAM EXPANSION
Where clarity becomes capability.
Follows Foundations
The mirror now turns inward as each leader receives 360 feedback with individual coaching to translate the data into real change. With enough time to see impact, team health and leadership culture are re-measured, and the team reconvenes to evaluate their progress so that it’s visible and articulated, not just felt.
WHAT CHANGES
- Leaders understand how others experience them and actively own their development
- The team handles conflict and decisions without routing through the CEO
- Measurable progress on team health and leadership culture
- A team built to sustain itself after the engagement ends
TARGETED WORK
Engagements for specific challenges
These can deepen an existing Compass Team Experience or bring focused expertise to a specific need.
1:1 Executive Coaching
6 OR 12 MONTHS
Built on 360 data, biweekly coaching sessions, and a development plan grounded in how you actually show up. Areas of expert focus include emotional intelligence, leadership presence, and navigating organizational dynamics.
Strategic Planning Facilitation
2-3 DAYS
A facilitated session that produces real alignment on strategic priorities and a North Star to keep you aligned. Includes individual pre-work, a structured facilitation arc, and a post-session retrospective.
Offsite Design & Facilitation
FLEXIBLE FORMAT
For leadership meetings and offsites where the stakes are too high to wing it. Designed and facilitated so the hard conversations happen and the team leaves with clarity, commitment, and a plan of action.
LOWER-COMMITMENT STARTING POINTS
Not sure what is the right first step?
Sometimes the organization needs to experience the work before committing to a longer engagement. These offerings create a low-risk entry point to build a mutual relationship and explore what makes sense as a next step.
TEAM WORKSHOP
Team Alignment Workshop
1.5 DAYS
A team health assessment provides data for a facilitated workshop where we explore your team’s perceived and actual dynamics and develop an action plan for aligned change. Time-boxed; does not include follow-on team coaching for accountability.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership Workshops
HALF DAY
A focused, facilitated session designed around your team’s most pressing challenge. Topics include leading through change, accountability and ownership, decision-making, and team communication. Each session is participatory, not passive. Can be delivered in person or virtually.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership Micro-Sessions
90 MINUTES
The lowest-commitment entry point. Practical, experience-grounded, designed to spark real reflection. Signature topics: navigating change, EQ in leadership, and feedback. Can be delivered in person or virtually, and can supplement in-house leadership programs.
IN THEIR WORDS
“The work Cynthia facilitated with our executive team changed the game for us. Before that, the trust and accountability we needed to succeed wasn’t there.”
