Every goal, process or project we work on comes with complexity.
To navigate your way toward making effective, informed decisions and creating far-reaching, sustainable strategies, you need to recognize all the pieces of the puzzle and how they relate to each other.
Toni guides her clients to understand and approach challenges through a systems thinking lens, to see past symptoms to their root cause, to recognize patterns in the now and the long-term and to become aware that the source of your current problems can be found in the system you’re operating in.
You’ll move into new paradigms of thought and systems design, discovering leverage points that were once invisible to you.
The result: an inclusive perspective that leads to solutions that are mutually beneficial to organizational performance, the environment and economic sustainability.
Approach
Whether working with executives, teams or boards, my inclusive, flow-through process helps us to identify the GAP between what’s expected and required for success, where individuals, teams or organizations are now, what stands in their way, and what new opportunities and solutions are possible.
Learning and development is a continuous cycle:
Listen: fully present, with open mind and heart
Inquire: suspend judgment, invite possibility
Generate: elicit a collective flow of ideas from multiple perspectives
Apply: create an integrated practice field
Learn: observe, evolve, begin again
