what about the dragonfly?

The dragonfly represents transformation, peak performance and living life to the fullest. It is the symbol of resilience. A dragonfly's capabilities are impressive. It is able to change direction quickly and efficiently whenever required. Its wings are dynamic structures that allow it to dart, dash, hover, fly forwards, side-ways and to spin around. At times it is a sprinter, flying upto 60 miles per hour. Other times, it is a marathoner with the long-term endurance to cross oceans. A risk-taker, the dragonfly can sometimes be found a long way from its native breeding ground.

The dragonfly positively impacts its environment. It hunts harmful insects such as mosquitoes, gnats or termites. It has been around forever, quietly observing when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

A dragonfly's vision is extraordinary: each eye contains upto 30,000 individual lenses, enabling it to see and process things from different perspectives. The North of Neutral Leadership Resilience Program can't promise you all of this, but we are committed to bringing a bit of dragonfly to your life.

Philosophy

 

positive, lasting, change

Why is change, even if much needed and desired, often short lived?

Our habits and mindsets create defensive processes that take over when we embark on this challenging journey.

We partner with our successful clients to learn how to overcome these forces for good. We help build self-awareness, outgrow personal blockages and develop a more sophisticated repertoire of behaviors. Leaders learn to build strong relationships, careers and lives.

Our coaching model is holistic and evidence-based. Each of our mandates is customized to our clients' unique needs, leveraging a foundation of shared characteristics:

Positive.

The change you seek enables a positive goal and aligns organizational objectives with your personal aspirations.

You are prepared to honestly address limitations and blind spots as you begin to effectively use your strengths to overcome them.

You want to advance your game and have a sense of urgency to achieve change.

Lasting.

The change you seek, to achieve your aspirations, will re-define your way of doing things.

You are prepared to challenge deep-seated assumptions and behaviors. Change is often iterative, even messy, and we offer proven tools, interventions and support, both during and in-between sessions.

You want to define your own goals and change outcomes, and you recognize that change, to be lasting, must be owned by you.

Transformational.

The change you seek extends beyond technical change and will allow you to see yourself and the world around you more clearly.

You are prepared to invest yourself in, master and internalize new competencies.

You want to more effectively collaborate with or lead others by effectively harnessing change.

Measurable.

The change you seek can be quantified in metrics reflective of your goals.

You are prepared to "open the kimono", involving key stakeholders in your pursuit of quantifiable change.

You want to create a personal dashboard that allows us to track progress against your goals.
