Stop Spinning Your Wheels

Typical leadership development programs (and coaching, consulting, training, etc.) are often built to solve generic problems. Participation may patch some of your issues, but results in reduced ROI in the long run.

The only way to correct the issues plaguing your organization for good is to get specific.

Our 3-step Discovery Experience fully explores your organization, identifies your unique problems (with the fresh, clear eyes of expert outsiders), and reveals any blind spots along the way. You’re left with a complete playbook with strategies to boost performance and unlock latent potential.

  • Lack of diversity in hiring practices
  • Low employee morale

Are Your Teams Stuck In Hot Water?

You’ve heard the story of the frog in the boiling pot? Every organization deals with problems, but sometimes you’ve been working with a broken system so long it’s impossible to pinpoint the source. You try to course correct, but somehow still feel the steam rising around you.

The Discovery Experience is the outside perspective and expert diagnosis you need to put a stop to the rising temperatures. Will you get the help you need, or continue to let all those issues simmer?

Hiring Michael with XChange has greatly impacted our organization. During the pandemic alone he has helped us plan and facilitate events for hundreds of attendees, resulting in both business growth as well as new ways of engaging and adding value for our clients. Michael’s ability to facilitate highly engaging virtual events has helped us improve our reputation and strengthen our brand
Arc Integrated provided the type of guidance that I didn’t even know that I was looking for. We have an ever expanding company in a challenging industry and sometimes we lose sight of the best ways to lead our teams. Through our sessions I was able to develop new ways to engage the team and we are better off for it. He challenged me on many fronts and ultimately helped me to become a better leader, and helped me to see that this is an ever evolving process and a life long commitment.
Michael brings with him, unstoppable positivity and formidable technical expertise. I truly admire how he can facilitate the discussion and process, while he commands the Zoomisphere! I couldn’t wait until I would be able to create and offer this unique experience to my community. Our first event was for my clients and colleagues and it was a great learning experience for me. Our second event was a larger regional audience and over 100 folks registered. Michael was a huge part of its success. He lent us his expertise to plan it out so that it was professional and fun. Based on the comments that I’ve received from attendees, it was totally worth their time to attend. Doing virtual events requires a few more technical skills than live events do. Michael has really helped me understand how to pull it all off in a way that’s cohesive and seamless. Attendees really appreciate that!

This session offered the opportunity to see and share ideas with other people and groups. It’s incredibly inspiring to hear different perspectives, discover new approaches, and exchange insights that you wouldn’t find on your own. Every interaction brings something fresh to the table, and it’s helped me grow both personally and professionally
