We judge our effectiveness and success by how our clients feel about us as we work with them and, more importantly, what they say about us after we leave.
My Leap Solutions coach has been my ally for more than ten years. Even at the spur of the moment, I can trust him to be direct, quick to analyze what’s going on, sympathetic to me as a small business owner and fair to my employees. I appreciate both his practical, get-it-done side and his broad knowledge of motivational practices for leadership and for my diverse and artistic workforce. Leap Solutions has always gone the extra mile for me and my business.
Leap Solutions has broadened our lens in order for us to see beyond what we originally envisioned as administrators for our school. They’re diligent listeners who bring valuable outside perspective and legitimacy to our work, and they’ve helped us engage with our many stakeholders and move forward in a truly thoughtful way. Leap facilitators achieve just the right balance and fluidity between handholding and stepping back, giving us all the guidance and reassurance we need yet empowering us to own the entire process for ourselves.
We’re a large entity with a diverse set of stakeholders, and Leap Solutions really heard us all, gathered as much information as possible and developed a workable process for progressing through the stages of strategic planning. They then guided that process in a way that felt inclusive and purposeful, and they continue to support us as we move through it with intention. Leap has turned something that once seemed impossibly daunting into something very doable. They’ve helped us reach and clarify our purpose, vision and set of values, articulate them clearly and incorporate them throughout our tactics and strategies so that everything we do as a school is in full alignment with the University as a whole.
The Leap team manages to combine wisdom with real-world experience, tact with brutal honesty, and the ability to be firm with an unassuming style that puts people at ease. Leap started with us as a one-time professional development perk, but they quickly became essential to our team and vital to our continued success.
The Leap team is very competent, high energy and collaborative, and they helped us put together an administration team retreat where we learned how to drive our mission forward, recognize our talents and develop our strengths, and understand how to build stronger, more global working relationships. Leap also assisted us with recruiting for a key position. I went into the process with a set level of expectations, and Leap met them and went well beyond. They have tremendous experience helping you drill down what to focus on and what you’re looking for, develop a valuable and succinct timeline, and get what you’re paying for and much more.
We engaged Leap Solutions to help our next generation of leaders develop the skills to lead the firm into the next decade and beyond. We’re now on Year Two of a custom leadership development program with Leap. It’s rewarding and invigorating to align expectations, build relationships and see growth, inspiration and enthusiasm in our next-generation staff members. We also engage with Leap for ongoing HR support to assist with involved situations from a technical standpoint. It’s incredibly valuable to draw from the expertise and situational experience of Leap advisors whenever and wherever we need it.
I know just enough about HR to be dangerous; the phenomenal Leap team knows HR forwards and backwards. We initially hired them for an HR audit that included setting up handbooks, hiring and termination packets, and posters, forms and files, and we continue to use them on a consulting basis. I have full confidence and trust in everything they do. I’ve also been on both sides of the recruitment process with Leap. As a candidate, I found them to be proactive, strong communicators who made sure I was fully prepared. As the one hiring, I appreciate that they’re thorough and detail-oriented, and they never waste my time. Every candidate Leap shows me has great potential.
The Leap team is approachable, responsive, down to earth and strong. I initially thought the price tag seemed ridiculous; I figured, we can do this ourselves, we’re smart folks and we’ve been in the industry. I can tell you now, the price was 100% reasonable, the process was transparent and went light years beyond my imagination, and the result is exactly what we want.
I wanted to generate more revenue in my business. I thought Leap Solutions would help me with numbers, but instead they gently encouraged me to expand my network—to get out of my shell, meet people, shake hands and build an elevator pitch. I’ve made connections, I’ve become a lot more comfortable talking about who I am and what I do, and I have a far better understanding of how to value my work and run a successful business. Business coaching works!
We chose the Leap team because of their reputation, strong nonprofit background and national reach. Ours wasn’t an easy search, but they listened extremely well and worked exceptionally hard. They were persistent and thorough, and they maintained an incredible calmness and an appropriate sense of humor. Leap has a small-town friendliness even when they’re playing in a big pond. I am absolutely thrilled with the result and can’t wait for our new CEO to start!
