Strategic Clarity and Actionable Growth for Leaders and Teams.
"What got you here, won't get you there." - Dan Sullivan
We work with you and your leaders to provide a clear path forward, offering you a precise understanding of your current state, a compelling vision for the future, and practical tools for team dynamics and decisive action. We act as the Alfred to your Batman; an empathetic guide and coach, providing the support you need to navigate complexity and win with your family and teams.
The Why...My name is Jon Slenker and I grew up in south Johnson County, Kansas where I earned a BS in Business Finance and cut my teeth in leadership and entrepreneurship. I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2010 to pursue a Masters in Cross Cultural Leadership, and settled in Hampton Roads in 2017 with a purpose to continue serving leaders in my community.
As a leader, I’ve needed different things from different people throughout my journey (and still do). Sometimes we need a port in the storm, other times a simple lighthouse or beacon does the trick, still other times we feel like we need a life raft. I find no greater joy than to be for others what some have been for me. I believe leaders are to pass on what they have been given and that we were blessed in order to be a blessing.
As an advisor, I partner with elite performers like you because I believe in your unique ability to shape your community’s sense of purpose and action. You have the power to foster engaging environments where trust thrives and transformation occurs beyond the bottom line.
Through intentional guidance, it’s an honor to assist in realizing your vision and inspire those you lead.
The What...We focus on key areas critical to success that enables you to…
Establish Trust and Communication
Empower Leaders
Increase Team Performance Scores
Improve Team Dynamics
Build Trust between Team Members
Strengthen Culture
