What we do

Partners in Performance helps people advance their leadership work in ways that contribute to increased effectiveness, healthier organizations, and greater impact. We sit side by side with leaders helping them identify their most complex challenges, facilitate honest, focused engagement across the organization and coach leaders in moving the organization forward with purpose and foresight. Read more about our Strategic Planning work plus the inspiring leaders and wondrous organizations with whom we work.

Julie Simpson (L), Lead Faculty for Powerful Partnerships, one of our premiere leadership development programs talks with Jeanne Kelly, Executive Director of Encore Creativity for Older Adults.

As with Powerful Partnerships, we bring leaders together from different organizations and across sectors to create intensive and rewarding learning environments where leaders reflect on their own practice, gain insight into their strengths and preferences, and understand how to increase their effectiveness. Read more our Leadership Development programs and our range of leadership learning experiences.

We design and facilitate fruitful engagements where field-wide leaders engage in dialogue around policy development, recent trends,  big dilemmas and even bigger opportunities, all structured in ways that generate useful responses to some of the most critical, and often most vexing challenges presented by the "new normal." Read more about some of our recent Facilitation engagements.
