The Leaders Co-Lab

The Leaders Co-Lab We are a networked consulting, coaching, and training company with a focus on human systems and change leadership.

We help sustainability-minded, innovative, systems thinkers at the VP or director-level in the AEC and building industry, including manufacturers to catalyze change in their industry or within their company. The primary mission of The Leaders Co-Lab is to catalyze and accelerate progress by bringing conscious, purpose-driven leaders together in new ways to co-create a better future for people, nat

ure, organizations, and society. We believe the human systems in your business (your people, your team, your organization) are both the greatest enablers and the greatest barriers to innovation. Guided by your unique needs and aspirations, we support you via immersive coaching, "just-in-time" exercises, and action-based learning to take your team to the next level. Using systems leadership expertise, we help you and your team clarify your mission, vision, and purpose, unleashing the energy for change. This means, you can feel confident that your people are aligned, and your human systems are working for you, not against you to enable change that matters for your customers and your stakeholders. We help you and your team to shift away from old ways of leading and communicating, to lead with purpose, systems awareness, and agility. This means you’ll experience fewer silos and more communication. It also means that your employees, no matter their level of leadership, will understand their personal strengths and how their unique abilities contribute to the success of the enterprise as a whole - leaving them feeling empowered and valued by you and the company. As a networked company that collaborates with other coaches and leadership professionals, you'll benefit from having access to a well-rounded team of professionals with many years of experience using different leadership models, so you know we'll always have a solution for any leadership challenge you face. We take pride in constantly evolving and learning alongside our clients, so when you work with us, you can be sure we're always up to date on the latest trends in leadership and looking to improve.

Join Melissa Wiltsey O'Mara and Kevin Stack on May 6th in at the Building Better Buildings - and bring your wisdom and experience in the buildings industry from 3pm - 4:30pm - "Unlocking Collective Wisdom: A Reverse Conference on Building Resilient, Electrified Futures".

This 90-minute “reverse conference” will bring the people side of systems into focus. Through Appreciative Inquiry and “How Might We” dialogues, participants will learn from one another’s successes, share strategies, and generate ideas for affordable electrification. Together, the group will explore how integrated teams and technologies—smart controls, high-efficiency systems, and grid-ready equipment—can deliver resilient, affordable buildings while building new relationships across Vermont.

We have a new President-elect. It’s time to make our peace. But how?

Some post-election thoughts for people like me who wanted to elect Kamala Harris.

Hint: we need to summon our better angels, our “good wolf”.

Last night I went to a small Kamala election gathering, and an open-ended question was asked. "Is half of the country just stupid?" I answered, "No, they are…

It's been almost 18 months since we've added this to our portfolio, and it's one of the only "public" offers that we promote. Because putting "butts in seats" (or "faces in zoom squares") is a lot of work.

We have only 25 slots available for this Nov/December open enrollment. Take a look if:

** You are overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated in a way that is impacting your well-being

** You have "monkey-mind", and/or struggle with focus, procrastination, and doom scrolling

** You have a really mean inner critic - and/or you are constantly judging others and situations - and it's costing you friends, jobs, and sleep at night.

** You are "doing it all" but sense that you could be on the edge of burn-out, if you don't take care of yourself.

** If you have recurring negative thought or action patterns that are self-sabotaging you, your performance, or your relationships.

Reach out with questions...

Leading in a VUCA world. Grow our inner capacity to surf the waves of change - and fill our lives with more compassion, calm and clarity.

So grateful to be able to be approached for this podcast with Kevin Stack after our "inner-active" session at the NYS Green Building Conference on Leap Day (Feb 29th) in Syracuse.

Thank you Ilka Gronert Cassidy for your passion for taking such bold action and sharing the impact that the session had on you with your peers, and through your own work with the Passive House Accelerator.

I think what is most exciting to me is that we can accelerate change when we tap into our hearts as well as our hands and minds.
