At Encourage Leadership, we believe that great leaders and team members are people who first seek to know themselves—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Self-awareness enhances other-awareness, a powerful combination for effectiveness and success at work, at home, and in community service.
Individuals and teams whose behaviors are grounded in their personal values and beliefs are motivated to engage others with empathy, compassion, and enthusiasm as they work together to achieve common goals.Our holistic coaching and team development model is unique. When we work with people individually or in groups, we start where they are, building customized experiences that address immediate and long-term needs. Our toolbox is eclectic yet focused, influenced by foremost thought leaders such as Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee on emotional intelligence/resonant leadership, Patrick Lencioni on team dynamics, and Simon Sinek on inspiration/motivation.
A variety of available assessments help participants understand their communication, behavioral, and learning styles and develop strategies to build or enhance strengths. Our expertise also supports stress management and encourages personal renewal through self-reflection and mindfulness practices including meditation, yoga, and retreat experiences.

More and more of us are looking for peace and calm and in our crazy-busy lives. In a recent study by the American Psychological Association, 75% of adults reported experiencing moderate to high levels of stress in the past month and nearly half reported that their stress has increased in the past year.
Numerous reports estimate that over 85% of primary care physician visits are due to stress-related causes.
Positive psychology is the study of happiness.
Psychology traditionally has focused on mental illness or other psychological problems and how to treat them. Positive psychology, by contrast is a relatively new field that examines how ordinary people can become happier and more fulfilled.
