WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAY ABOUT US

DEI Executive Certificate Program

“My experience so far has been affirming. Being able to come together with other DEI practitioners to talk about our experience with the subject matter, really allowed us to dig deep into our own feelings and establish or re-establish our reason for doing the work. The connection gave me confidence and affirmation that I was on the right track.”
Brandi Turner

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, Kansas Department For Children and Families

Life-Changing Leadership

“The insight and knowledge that I have gained from Center for Executive Excellence has been life changing. No matter where you are on your leadership path, they will have an impact on you and your organization.”
Damian McKinney
CEO, McKinney Capital

Reinvigorating Company Culture

“Center for Executive Excellence took on the challenge of reinvigorating our company culture and rallying us to rediscover our roots. Not only did they give us the roadmap, but took us on culture field trips to get outside of our walls and accelerate the paradigm shift we needed to reconnect with our “why.”
Steve Wagner
Co-Founder and President, Stone Brewing

Leading through COVID-19

“A crisis like this would have probably been our implosion point if we had not begun investing in leadership 2 years ago.  Instead, the team is shining.”
Tyrone Muse
CEO, Visions Federal Credit Union

Turn your strategic goals into results

The strongest organizations in the world achieve sustainable success largely because they understand the value of keeping their strategy refreshed and linking strategic goals to day-to-day operations.

Whether you need to build a strategic plan from scratch, focus on the next 90-day rallying cry to navigate a pivot, or close the gap between planning and execution, we’re here to help.

HIGH TRUST TEAMS CUT THROUGH THE CRAP

Trust is the foundation of a high performing team. Full stop. Without it, achieving sustainable results is impossible.

Whether your team is brand new, choking from lack of trust, or is long overdue for a team building event, CEE can help you measure, map, and move the dial in five key areas necessary for high performance:  Trust, Healthy Conflict, Commitment, Accountability and Results.

IF YOU WANT TO BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER, YOU NEED SELF-AWARENESS

When we see ourselves clearly, we are more confident and more creative. We make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively.

Just as experience can lead to a false sense of confidence about our performance, it can also make us overconfident about our level of self-knowledge. That’s where CEE’s Executive Coaching comes in. We meet with you one-on-one to help you develop the skills you need to build self-awareness and co-create a process to facilitate your ability to deliver accelerated results.

Q: Our Founder/CEO is anti-consultant. How can we convince him to let outsiders in?
A: Don’t ask him to take our word for it.  Share the feedback we got from the Founder and CEO of Stone Brewing, the OG of antidisestablishmentarianism:

We’ve always been hesitant to hire outside consultants to tell us how to run our business. But, we needed a culture refresh and I’m happy we picked the right team in Tony Baron and Sheri Nasim at Center for Executive Excellence.” – Greg Koch, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman, Stone Brewing

Thought-provoking, revolutionary ideas that will transform the workplace. It starts with leaders and we were given a clear path for how to implement these great ideas in our work settings.
