Coaching
Our ideal client is one who wants to take their leadership to the next level and lead out of who they are not out of who they think they should be. Our coaching practice is developmental in nature and is designed to help individuals maximize their craft by growing as people who are deeply grounded in their values and leading from their strengths.
Team Development
We live in a complex rapidly changing world. Complexity and change produce anxiety and tension. Unresolved anxiety and tension erodes human and organizational capacity. Team and organizational performance is directly tied to employee engagement and trust. The Luminous Institute facilitates team development by bringing clarity to how your organization solves problems, acknowledges tension, and reconciles real difference. We deliver practical experiences that help transform tension into organizational traction.
