About
Who We Are
PhoenixRising is a coaching and consulting company based in Colorado that works globally across corporate, non-profit, government and educational sectors.
We serve executive and high potential leaders, their teams and their organizations through consulting, executive coaching and custom curated workshops and retreats. Our approach is innovative and holistic, teaching a set of leadership practices which taken together support new levels of creativity, productivity and resilience.
We Believe
These times are calling for a new kind of leadership. The leader's most important job is to set the inspired, shared vision, co-create the strategy, create a psychologically safe workplace, build trust, ensure relationship is built with and between team members and then support the team to co-create, bringing the highest expression of their talents and gifts. In this safe, supportive culture, creativity abounds, communication flows and productivity and engagement are at an all time high. The leader creates this culture. The leader is the 'banks of the river' for the team but does not need to tell the river how to flow. It knows. And in the right culture it will do so brilliantly by itself. This also allows the leader to have a balanced life. Many leaders are facing burnout as they are trying to do it all. Once they put in place the right conditions for their teams, they do not need to do it all. The talent and wisdom of the organizational system produces great results, often well beyond everyone's expectations.
Mission
Our mission is to support individuals and organizations to develop the awareness, skills and practices to enable their own transformation, activating their full potential and amplifying their impact in the world.
Approach
Custom designed, highly experiential coaching, consulting, retreats and workshops support deep individual and team work. The focus is on building new awareness and skills, relationship to self and others, a safe, supportive and inspiring culture and an inspiring vision for a clear, focused strategy. Breakthrough innovation, problem solving, productivity and personal and group effectiveness and resilience are enabled.
One of our unique practices is organization and personal relationship system mapping, allowing leaders and teams to see and resolve what is underneath the issues they are facing. We are also skilled at creating safe, supportive group environments through leveraging Matrixworks practices, which are designed to foster high levels of psychological safety and connectivity in groups.
