What We Do

The SSCA Conscious Leader

Lead consciously, lead with awareness, and lead with the understanding of how your style, behaviors, and decisions impact your organization and the people in it. Awareness breeds the power to pave new ground and develop profound change that drives achievement. SSCA builds conscious leaders.

We use a proven process to get there:

Name It: Acknowledgement of what is at the crux of the problem–the true underlying cause. Connect each spoke representing critical components at the heart of organizations that drive behaviors, in order to build and lead teams based on achievement.

• Communication
• Change
• Motivation
• Work-Climate
• Culture

Results: Once you have this awareness and an acute understanding of each aspect of your organization, you gain the foresight and tools to develop a team focused around achievement.

We differentiate ourselves in several ways. We strive not to give you the right answers, but rather to ask the right questions. Our clients tell us that it is our ability and willingness to hold up an accurate mirror when others won’t that makes us most valuable to our clients.

Each SSCA partner has deep expertise in the areas of motivation, communication, and change. We combine our research based toolkit with deep individual passion and care to ensure you achieve your leadership potential.

Discovery

We first identify and help clarify the real issue vs. the perceived issue. This means vulnerability is required on both of our parts and the establishment of a Trusted Advisor relationship – our standard of excellence.

Assessment

Once we have understood the real issue at hand, we then assess the best approach and solution for the issue. Then we discover and define the right chemistry between your coach and those being coached.

Clearly defined outcomes

One element that differentiates SSCA from others is we clearly define what the real outcomes of the work are supposed to be – from minimizing your pain, to getting promoted, to improving company culture in order to achieve your goals.

Meeting your coach

You will be introduced to your coach and clearly define what help is added and exactly how it is to be delivered; one-to-one meetings, phone calls, etc.

For most companies, the executive placement screening process ends once a candidate has been hired. We take a different approach. We give you the tools to use the selection process as the beginning of new hire orientation. Further, our process will decrease the lag-time to optimal productivity.

When we see a candidate, we assume he or she has been pre-screened for their ability to perform the tasks required of that position. We specialize in understanding what drives a particular candidate. The goal is to predict how successful they will be compared to other competent individuals in the role (and in your unique organization). Our profiling expertise provides you with deep insights on each potential new employee.
