Who
We
Are

At ThoughtAction, we believe that people are the central force for organizations to be their best and leadership is the way organizations bring out the best in their people.

We work exclusively with people-centered leaders

We focus on building better leaders and teams in a way that brings out their most effective, authentic selves as they go about creating the impact in the world that is exciting and fulfilling for them. Armed with this approach, we help people matter as they do what matters in their work.

We go beneath the surface to get to what is core and practical

We dive deep in our work, yet we make it non-threatening, applicable and not too “touchy-feely.” We also incorporate other “best-of-breed” tools like The Leadership Circle™ and Predictive Index® to give our clients the most useful experiences in our programs.

We turn insight into results

Insight without action is a waste of effort. Having witnessed the effectiveness of The Results System™ for over 15 years, we believe in it so much that it’s built into everything we do – our Extraordinary Results™ Executive Coaching Program, True to Your Core™, Executive Sprints™ and all of our other offerings.

We create self-understanding that leads to effectiveness and satisfaction

We think of ourselves as a best-of-breed “boutique” firm and we don’t try to do “everything leadership.” We focus on the self-awareness and self-understanding that clients will carry with them throughout their career that expands their agility, sharpens their influence and makes a difference.

We put neuroscience to work

We have evolved a methodology based in the neuroscience research that makes it practical and usable for everyone. We call it The Results System™, a simple, systems approach that gives our clients access to the powerful “software” inside them that inspires greatness and creates results.

We hope you will choose to work with us

If you’ve read this and like what you’ve heard, we’ll be a
great partner for you. Let’s have a conversation and see what is possible for your people and your organization. Schedule a call.
