What Are Leadership Practice Tools™?
They are simple, human, beautifully designed frameworks that help leaders:
- communicate clearly
- facilitate meaningful conversations
- reset expectations
- navigate challenges
- build trust and alignment
- support well-being and belonging
- strengthen relationships
- guide teams through change
- show up with presence and intention
These tools meet leaders where they are — busy, stretched, and often overwhelmed — and give them something they can use tomorrow without prep, jargon, or complexity.
Every solution is co-created to become part of your unique rhythm—not just a one-size-fits-all answer
Bottom Line:
Your leaders are doing their best.
Let’s give them tools that make it easier to do what matters most.
Why These Tools Work
You know how quickly teams can get stuck in:
- unclear expectations
- miscommunication
- meeting fatigue
- emotional overload
- overwhelm
- disconnected relationships
- burnout
- silence in the room
Leaders want to help… they just don’t always know how in the moment.
Leadership Practice Tools™ give them a way forward.
Each framework is:
✔ simple enough to pick up in minutes
✔ powerful enough to shift the room
✔ structured enough to reduce uncertainty
✔ flexible enough to fit any team
✔ designed to build trust and traction
✔ grounded in decades of real-world leadership experience
✔ beautiful and usable — something leaders actually want to use
How We Work
Leadership isn’t something you attend once and walk away from.
It’s something you practice—in conversations, decisions, moments of tension, and everyday work.
Our work meets leaders where they are and offers practical tools they can actually use—whether they need something simple right now, support navigating a specific challenge, or a way to build leadership practices into how their organization operates over time.
There are a few ways to begin—each designed to meet you where you are.

Change Champion Toolkit
Just-in-time tools for leading through transformation
Originally developed in partnership with MIT, this toolkit supports leaders navigating big change. With quick-access resources, reflection prompts, and mindset reframes, it helps change champions show up with clarity and confidence—without adding to their plate.
Built for the moments that matter.
PowerPoint with Purpose
Designing presentations people want to see (and remember)
Let’s be honest: PowerPoint isn’t going anywhere. For mission-driven organizations, it remains the go-to channel for sharing vision, rolling out initiatives, and developing talent—yet too often, slides create more eye rolls than engagement. We transform standard decks into interactive journeys that connect, clarify, and inspire action. We blend clear narrative, inclusive visuals, and interactive elements to help your message land—and stick.
Because every slide should work as hard as you do.
Team Toolkits
Empowering managers to lead team conversations that matter
This interactive toolkit equips mid-level leaders to guide their teams through change using design thinking, facilitation frameworks, and real-world scenarios. Built for top talent, it turns leadership development into an experience—not a slide deck.
Think: Action Learning meets culture alignment.
From Custom Tools to a Complete System: LYFE@Work
For leaders ready to move from tool creation to transformation, LYFE@Work brings it all together.
This six-month, ready-to-run program helps organizations strengthen belonging, leadership, and wellbeing through meaningful conversations that connect life and work.
Instead of starting from scratch, leaders receive a complete, plug-and-play toolkit — reflection guides, conversation outlines, session slides, and communication templates — all designed to make belonging a practice, not another initiative.
