  • Leaders.

    One-on-one coaching: whether you’re an individual contributor, a manager, or in the C-suite, you need someone in your corner whose only agenda is your success; someone with whom you can partner to uncover blind spots, gain confidence, explore aspirations, and make difficult decisions. 

    Coaching develops leaders who can lead in a VUCA-D business environment with consistently greater results. 

    Our development approach is based on proven best-practices. We believe leadership is a role that belongs to the “system,” and everyone can potentially lead in their own way contributing to the success of the whole. 

  • Teams.

    For a team to perform at peak, it’s essential that it evolves from a model of managing top-down, to behaving collectively in a healthy, interdependent manner. Often, self-sourcing solutions is critical (e.g. 1+1=3), especially in the executive ranks of start-ups and small organizations. 

    The aim of M&D Partners is to understand the system the team operates within, how system dynamics effect the team, and help the team develop beyond performing well to performing at peak within its environment. This is the cutting edge of team coaching and integrated business relationship systems models.

  • Culture.

    Transforming the culture of your organization begins at the top— one cohort at a time until we reach a critical mass to shift the entire organization. Participants learn to use a coaching approach in their day-to-day interactions. This enhances communication, builds trust, increases resilience, enables them to work through conflict, and increases their influence. From that foundation, the culture can be built to reflect the organization’s unique values.

    An added benefit, is that group sessions strengthen participant relationships. It’s been said that the sharing that takes place during these sessions provides an opportunity like no other.

  • Innovation.

    Among the many lessons Covid has taught us is that we need to be agile and creative to respond to sudden changes in the environment. In order to compete, we need to constantly innovate. Some organizations will rise to meet these new conditions, and others will crumble under the pressure. 

    To tap into creative problem solving, you’ll learn a proven five-stage model designed to shift individuals and teams from reactivity and limited “iterative thinking” to original, aspirational solutions aimed at seeing the opportunity inherent in change.

  • Ninja Series.

    When you think of a Ninja, what comes to mind? Decisive. Responsive. Effective.  Impactful. These words accurately describe M&D Partners Ninja Series, short yet high impact trainings aimed at the most common problems plaguing business leaders. This solution is highly focused on very specific and singular topics, such as Giving and Receiving Effective Feedback. As an example, leaders unskilled in this area often botch feedback or avoid it completely, robbing their teams of a foundational and effective tool for generating growth, increasing trust and performance. 

  • Modular Learning.

    M&D Partners’ modular approach can be customized to your organization’s particular challenge and can be combined in any way with other topics. Some of our “building blocks” include:  

    Resilience; Navigating Change; Handling Conflict; Coaching for Managers; Influence Without Authority; Leading Up, Down, and Across; Cross-Collaboration; Effective Decision-Making; Being Authentic at Work 

“The session was adapted to meet our needs and you were both sensitive to the importance of shifting the agenda.”
