Your leadership team has the talent.
What it’s missing is alignment.
At growth-stage companies, the leadership team is often the last thing to catch up with the business. The strategy is sound. The people are capable. But somewhere between individual excellence and collective execution, alignment breaks down.
Without a clear operating system for how the team makes decisions, communicates, and holds each other accountable, small inefficiencies compound—until they start to show up in execution, culture, and results.
Leadership Team Misalignment Is Costing More Than You Think
Leadership team misalignment rarely announces itself. It shows up as slower decision-making, duplicated effort, conflict that routes through the CEO instead of being resolved laterally, and a persistent sense that the team isn’t operating at the level of its individual strengths.
IF YOU’RE MAKING THE CASE
You saw the dysfunction before anyone else did.
And you know another offsite isn’t the answer. You need something rigorous enough to make the case for, structured enough to show measurable results, and real enough to actually change how this leadership team operates. That’s what you can point to here.
IF YOU’RE HEARING THE CASE
Your leadership team is your engine or your constraint.
The cost of misalignment isn’t just friction — it’s compounding. Decisions made slowly, talent deployed in the wrong direction, growth targets that stay just out of reach. This isn’t a talent problem. It’s a team problem. And it’s fixable.
THE WORK
A progression, not a program.
Every engagement is sequenced deliberately — because the right intervention at the wrong time doesn’t just fail, it sets teams back. We develop leaders and teams in tandem, because one without the other doesn’t hold.
The Compass Team Experience
A structured, sequenced methodology that works at two levels simultaneously — developing each leader and the team as a unit, in the order that actually produces lasting change.
Executive Coaching
Individual development for leaders ready to go deeper — standalone or within Compass.
Strategic Planning & Offsites
Facilitated work for high-stakes meetings and planning cycles that need real outcomes.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most team development fails because of timing, not content.
The standard approach delivers the right tools in the wrong order. Assessment without readiness. Team work without individual foundation. Momentum without accountability. The result: an offsite that felt good and changed nothing.
Our approach sequences every phase so each one earns the right to the next — and works at both the individual and team level at the same time, because a team of self-aware leaders who haven’t built trust still can’t execute.
PHASE 01
COMPASS TEAM FOUNDATIONS
Where the work begins.
Diagnostic clarity first. A 3-day facilitated offsite is the midpoint, not the starting point. Two months of team coaching ensures what was built doesn’t fade.
PHASE 02
COMPASS TEAM EXPANSION
Where clarity becomes capability.
The mirror turns inward. 360 feedback with individual coaching. Re-measurement at six months so progress is visible and articulated, not just felt.

The work was tangible and structured with a defined outcome, building relationships and trust along the way. The experience created an opportunity for better business results as the executive team performs at a higher level.

ABOUT CYNTHIA FARRELL
25 years in the room.
Now I build the room.
I’m the founder of 110 West Group and creator of the Compass Team Experience. I bring over 25 years developing leaders and teams, including senior HR leadership inside high-growth tech and a demanding stretch as SVP of Human Resources at a PE-backed tech company through a $1.2B acquisition.
That background gave me something most team coaches don’t have: a systemic understanding of how leadership behavior ripples through an entire organization, and what it actually costs when a team isn’t working.
