The Elevate Model
Engage → Evolve → Elevate
Engage: Tap in and reconnect to the authentic part of ourselves. Build compassion for yourself and others around you by developing empathy skills. Become skilled at identifying and addressing your needs and the needs of your team or community.
Evolve: Cultivate your environment and culture for optimum synergy. Learn the skills to model the culture you want to create, what behaviors to avoid, and how to handle conflict directly and amicably. Develop a foundation for the culture you build to be self-sustaining.
Elevate: Embrace the authenticity of your team. By creating a sustainable work environment, team members' strengths will shine and the impact of your mission will elevate.
Empathy | Empathy is the foundation for self-understanding and understanding the needs of those around you. Building empathy skills will give you the ability to create a warm environment for your team to thrive. Emotional intelligence in leadership is correlated with greater positive work environments, increased team motivation, synergy, and innovative ideas.

Leverage self-awareness | The road to self-actualization involves deep understanding of our strengths and where we often find missed opportunities. Creating a healthy relationship with yourself allows you to better connect with the needs of others. We work towards developing habits, boundaries, and developing a greater connection to your values and purpose.
Establish Team Culture | Creating a sustainable culture for your work or your life requires intentional effort. Without a strong cultural foundation and guidance, your team or community may not serve your mission in the long term. We help identify potential threats to healthy cultures and provide tangible acts that will create a culture that will last.
Value-based cultivation | Values alignment is vital to a thriving culture. When we lose sight of our values, we lose the impact of our mission. This means our behaviors, our team, and our environment must align with our values. Learn to identify misalignment and how to navigate it to ensure the culture you are creating is the culture you truly want.
Adapt | If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. The world changes everyday and so do people. Rather than provide prescribed inflexible plans, we provide skills and useful thought patterns that will allow you to adapt to the guaranteed changes of our unpredictable world.
Transform & Evolve | Through the process of learning and applying the skills, theories of empathy, you will be creating new neural pathways in your brain. You will see and interact with the world differently, allowing you to make intentional and empathetic choices. You will become a better leader and a better person. By proxy, you will create a better team and community.
Empowerment | The ultimate goal is to create team cultures that lead to a sense of empowerment for all members. When we feel empowered, we feel resilient and supported. We give our best ideas, honest feedback, and our mission has a greater impact.
