Welcome to worksphere
LEADERSHIP is NOT WHAT YOU DO. IT'S WHO YOU DECIDE TO BE.
Stop putting out fires and start catalyzing the human potential in your organization and your employees
workshops, programs and coaching that makes change stick
If not you, who? If not now, when?
At Worksphere, we don't spend hours in the classroom lecturing you or your people on how to think strategically or be great communicators, with a few sharing exercises thrown in for good measure. That kind of leadership development doesn't cut it when you want to make powerful and positive impact in the world.
Instead, we go straight to the root of what differentiates good-enough leaders from leaders who nourish and galvanize their teams to make a difference. Our approach is to work far less on skills (which you can get elsewhere) and way more on intentionally choosing the core values, beliefs and mindsets that invite creativity and candour to emerge in your organization. We don't ask what you want to do (you already have a mission and strategy). We ask who do you want to be and how can we help you get there.
Once you have that, you can manage less and lead more.

Making ‘fit’ the predominant criteria for a successful hire essentially says ‘we are more comfortable with people who look like us and agree with us.’

WHY ARE SO MANY LEADERS SCIENCE DENIERS?
Organizations are collectively invested in denying an avalanche of organizational and psychological evidence about what makes work satisfying, workers valued, and workplaces happy, productive and safe. Why? Because their leaders are denying the science.

HOW TO GO FROM CHASING GOALS TO SETTING A COURSE
I've come to realize that the real work in life is not in setting and accomplishing goals, it's in saying yes when it’s more comfortable to say no, and saying no when it’s more comfortable to say yes.
