What is a high-performance work culture (HPWC)?
An HPWC is an organizational way of doing the work and achieving your goals. It is built on a set of universally accepted practices (behaviors and norms) that are reinforced by underlying tools and processes that we will help you create based on your needs. When properly administered, this system of resources, tools, and symbols, will help employees work effectively to achieve business goals and create value.
Specifically, employees:
• Are highly productive and motivated.
• Receive the resources needed to meet and exceed their goals,
• Feel supported by their manager.
• Are aligned with company values.
• Feel favorably about corporate leadership.

The company reinforces successful performance management behavior as a key business strategy.
Assess the culture. What works well, and what isn’t working. To what extent do employees know what to do and want to do good work? How is performance measured, and communicated? These are just a few of the questions we’ll ask to help us determine the current state of the culture.
Communicate the Big Picture and Connecting the Dots. This is about gaining buy-in, receiving feedback, listening to concerns, and making necessary adjustments. This involves evaluating your organizational goals and ensuring they are communicated throughout the organization.
Here is where we fine-tune expectations, outcomes, and other aspects of our change management plans.
What is Executive Teaming?
Executive Teaming is a process of helping leaders fulfill their executive advantage such that the organization realizes its competitive advantage. It’s a win-win for the organization. Organizations that want to mitigate the impact of silos, dysfunctional leadership, eroding conflict, trust, and employee engagement and commitment will want to hire Pam to work with their senior team.
We value the uniqueness of every team. Therefore, we follow a methodology and approach to ensure we explore all aspects of leadership effectiveness and provide you with a custom approach that will guide our work together and give you an analysis as to what we have determined is the root cause of the challenge with a plan of sustainable action.
This critical step helps us to reach a common understanding of the purpose of this work and agree upon the goals and expected outcomes. Think Vision: what are we trying to achieve and why?
The goal of this phase is to understand the extent to which there is an alignment of the goal to the achievement and sustainability of your competitive advantage and to review and evaluate the team’s assessment of its performance. Think: what is the sense of urgency? Why now? What’s going on?
Based on the outcomes of Steps 1 and 2, we’ll present a plan of action that aligns with your purpose, mission, vision, and values.
Think: what shifts are needed to strengthen our team and solidify our position as a leader in the field?
During a scheduled offsite meeting, we’ll share our findings and the recommendation for moving forward. Think Buy-in: who are we and how can we build a high-performing executive team?
Together we will co-create a process of training, facilitation, and coaching monthly to focus on the social and conceptual skills that will enhance the bench strength and leadership of the executive team. Think: who can successfully guide us through this change effort and hold us accountable?
Change is a process and will commence at the start of this project. While guiding you through the change process, we don’t want to ignore that change is also emotional. This is what makes our work with teams distinctive from other team-building approaches.
No one likes to think of themselves or their organization as dysfunctional. “Dysfunction” simply means something isn’t quite right, and we must fix it. Dysfunction for executive teams could mean acknowledgment of their complacency or siloed thinking and deciding to become a progressive and more effective team. Regardless, dysfunction interferes with the achievement of business outcomes and the attainment of competitive advantage. However, getting to the root cause of team dysfunction is the most significant challenge organizations face. Even if they know why the dysfunction exists, addressing and correcting the challenge is likened to performing surgery on oneself – it’s simply not possible.
We follow a proven methodology and a framework that allows us to not only unearth root causes but also expose those characteristics that make our clients distinctive in ways that lead to the achievement of their competitive advantage. As a result, they improve market penetration, create a culture that attracts and retains top talent, enjoy efficiencies and customer loyalty, distribute resources appropriately (time, talent, money), and increase profitability.
Think: in what innovative ways can we now fully leverage the distinctiveness of our team?
Many leaders have realized that a new playbook for leadership and business success is needed. Leaders accustomed to old-school corporate silos and politics are exchanging outdated and unproductive command and control behaviors for a greater capacity to engage and inspire performers towards a higher level of achievement.
Today’s leaders must not only have the talent, skills, and abilities to lead at senior levels, but they must also have essential cognitive capabilities that help them manage, lead, and influence change. Pamela will discuss the high-performance leadership behaviors that result in leaders who can quickly adapt to new business demands, remain nimble and innovative, and able to realize the organization’s competitive advantage.
Objective: to provide leaders with modern techniques and strategies to enhance their efficiency, effectiveness, and credibility that result in quickly resolving routine challenges. Each of these topics is a minimum of two hours that can easily accommodate virtual training experiences.
Am I the leader I want to be, and my team and organization need? In this workshop, leaders discuss the differences between managing and leading. They use this understanding to chart a path toward better leadership, which starts with a foundational leadership assessment tool. The outcomes include a plan for improved leadership practices. This is a 4-hour workshop and includes one of Pam’s leadership assessments.
Most leaders can quickly reference and use the SWOT framework but don’t know the secret to leverage the full impact of this valuable instrument. In this session, Pam will walk you through the various ways to leverage the SWOT and uncover the missing strategy to expose its full effectiveness. This is a 2-hour workshop.

Problems surface daily. But many problems become risks and even threats because leaders aren’t correctly classifying problems, nor are they adept at delegating and deploying problems to the front lines, where they often belong. In this workshop, leaders will learn how to classify problems, which ones to deploy, and the strategies for delegating problem management to the front lines. This is a 4-hour workshop.
Imagine, as a firefighter, you must now help rescue a person from a burning building; what is the first thing you’d do? Now, you awaken in your leadership role, and you’re asked to rescue a team from in-fighting or keep a collaboration effort from failing. What is the first thing you’d do? Did you know that the same mindset you have helping a person in a burning building is the same mindset you have approaching the in-fighting or collaboration concern, only you get a little more time? Our minds are powerful and can sometimes underserve our efforts. In this 2-hour session, Pam will walk you through proven techniques to break with the hold our mindsets have on our conduct, attitude, and behaviors.
The beginning of change. The most effective leaders recognize that the secret to success is first to lead oneself. It’s been said that self-awareness is the beginning of change. You’ll know you’re self-aware when you see how you feel and think and behave and can quickly determine if it is how you are supposed to feel and think and act. But how? In this session, you’ll learn the three strategies to become more self-aware and how to leverage those strategies to respond to any situation. Once you can take hold of your behaviors, you can help others do the same.

One of the keys to being an effective communicator is mastering the skill of speaking with people and influencing the conduct, attitude, and behavior of others in meaningful ways. Learn the skills needed to communicate confidently with any audience with clear, consistent messaging that results in your brand being valued and credible and your messages influential.
Whether managing others, working in a cross-functional project team, or providing internal/external client support, excellent communication skills are crucial for all employees at any level within any organization. Communicating effectively doesn’t have to be filled with drama. To make communicating effortless and drama free, you’ll have to put considerable thought and effort into your style and the style of others to make the impact required for your effectiveness.
There’s no avoiding it – where there are people, there are bound to be problems. When these problems are not adequately managed, they lead to decreased engagement, productivity, and morale. In short, they suck the life out of your day, and your energy level is depleted.
Managing the workday requires us to lead ourselves, others, and the organization – in that order. Pamela will take you through a series of engaging and revealing activities to discover how you can improve your approach to conflict and communication while moving towards a more productive work environment, virtually and in person.
