Our Why
Every team
needs a dugout
We are building a trusted support staff of coaches
to help teams raise their game.
Just as athletes rely on a dugout of coaches and support staff to excel, we believe that organizational leaders and teams need the same kind of dedicated support to improve performance, navigate complexity, and create impact.
Our belief is simple: when leaders have the right support system, they can achieve extraordinary things. And when organizations are led by strong, purpose-driven leaders, they have the power to change the world.
The Co.labˣ Way
We root our work in a set of principles that inform everything we do:
Inner & Outer
The ‘inner game’ of individuals (their awareness, beliefs, and emotions) impacts their ‘outer game’ (the results they create). We help teams shift their inner game to transform their outer game.
Me & We
The individual and the collective are often in conflict. We help teams deepen alignment and balance individual accountability with shared responsibility.
Action & Learning
Constant action without learning feels like a treadmill while learning without action feels vague and abstract. We help teams do-think-do and continuously act and reflect.
Speed & Stillness
Sometimes, slower is faster. We help teams move quickly to seize opportunities and pause to aid rest and recovery.
