Unleash Your Power to Thrive™

November 1, 2013 by Donna Stoneham

THRIVING:  Unleashing our potential to grow, flourish and experience a sense of trust and well-being in ourselves, our work and lives so that we may deliver our greatest talents and capabilities.

A commitment to thriving is critical to leadership and sustainability in organizations.  A recent Gallup Survey reports that only 24% of adults in the world and 56% in the US believe they are thriving.¹ When they analyzed which states in the US led the nation in thriving, Gallup discovered two main factors separated those who considered themselves to be thriving: Positivity and Optimism.²  In 2013, Gallup also discovered that 87% of workers in the world and 71% in the US feel disengaged at work.³

This data has powerful implications for leaders, teams and organizations. When we thrive, we become exemplars and inspire those we influence to set a higher bar―to believe they can achieve and contribute their best and not settle for anything less than they are capable of becoming. When we are guided by self-insight, focus on leading from strengths and foster those skills in others, we create a ripple effect that makes our teams, organizations, families and world a better place.

Since 1993 our focus has been on helping leaders, teams and organizations unleash their power to thrive and add value for their stakeholders.  Through hundreds of executive coaching, leadership and team development programs; appreciative inquiries, and organization effectiveness engagements we’ve delivered to our clients, we had and will always have one driving mission―to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site to learn more about us, our approach, and our services.  Please contact us to explore how we can help you, your team or your organization unleash your power to thrive!

Do You Seek Happiness or Meaning in Your Life and Career?

I’m back from my last round of travels and am taking time out this week for some much needed rest and reflection. What’s captivated my attention since I got home a few days ago is the difference between meaning and happiness. One of the questions I’ve been asked several times on my book tour is, […]

With Deep Gratitude to the Gardeners in My Life

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. — William Arthur Ward A soft, sweet rain is falling outside the windows of the cabin in the Trinity Mountains in Northern California where we’ve been for almost a week, resting and relaxing after three of the busiest months of […]

When Striving Trumps Thriving

Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.―Zhuangzi I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the delicate balance between striving and thriving.  In a culture where we measure success by how much money we make, by how many twitter followers we have, or by the status of our title or position, it’s easy to […]

Being Present

“Wherever you are, be there. If you can be fully present now, you’ll know what it means to live.” 
― Steve Goodie I’ve been on a recharge vacation for the past five days. Every summer, we go to a ranch in the mountains for a week with our dogs. We stay in a sweet little cabin that […]

Learning to Bloom Where We’re Planted

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.  You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.  — Albert Camus Last weekend we worked in our garden in our annual outdoor spring cleaning ritual.  Call me crazy, but I always love that first foray […]
