Shift Positive

Two ways to experience energizing + effective feedback:

Shift Positive 360

Shift Positive 360

A comprehensive and transparent interview-based 360 that invites each interviewee to become an ally, thereby creating a two-way accountability for a leader's development. This approach can be used in individual executive coaching where we interview a diverse set of colleagues, and in a team coaching where each teammate is interviewed about the other. Each leader receives an extensive report and works with their coach to incorporate their strengths, growth areas, and accountability allies into their growth plan.

Shift Positive Live

Shift Positive Live

A live, facilitated feedback session among a small group, most often the direct reports of the leader. In this session we help the participants identify strengths and areas of growth, then have each participant sign on to be an ally for the leader in one specific area of growth. There is a live debrief session with the leader immediately following.

The SP360 helped me understand my biggest strengths to the team and illuminated areas where I can support the team further. The unique and constructive process left the team and myself feeling especially motivated to support one another in achieving our independent and organizational goals.
