When organizations work with us to align their business strategy, people and values they don’t just weather storms.
They thrive in them.
We’re Downstream Partners.
We see and address the often-invisible points of resistance and stuckness that are capping your success, draining your energy and making it feel like you’re swimming upstream.
Get in the flow.
Where creativity, innovation and success happen with more ease.
Build Courageous Leadership Skills
Everything can change with a good, direct conversation. But most people aren’t skilled at having them. We give you the tools to have difficult conversations with more confidence and ease. To know and leverage your strengths. Find your voice. Embrace vulnerability. Be brave. Challenge norms. And inspire courage and leadership in others.
Realize Increased Capacity
We help you articulate and live into your values. Find the intersection between individual values and organizational values. Mobilize your teams around a clear vision and strategy. Use systems thinking to understand how the little things in your organization affect the big things. And achieve unprecedented results with greater ease.
Galvanize Diverse-Thinking Teams
When people bring their fully-engaged selves to work every day, organizations realize amazing results. We give people the space to have a voice. To be more honest and vulnerable with each other. To bring more of themselves and their ideas to work. That breeds creativity and smart risk taking. So teams innovate and achieve something important.
Develop Strategic Clarity & Focus
Leading through uncertainty and navigating increasingly complex, fast-paced changes can be draining. Most leaders we work with think they need three months in Hawaii to gain back their resilience. Through energy management and ruthless priorities we help you find hidden reservoirs of energy and capacity you can access right now.

"We had been working with GG to develop our reservoir of resiliency tools. When the pandemic hit, we got to shine. We could see the real impact this work has had on our team. Everybody felt the transparency, responsibility and reward of it. We even surprised ourselves. As a result of this work, we feel stronger now than before the pandemic.”
— Amy Levi, Co-founder & CEO

“GG keeps opening new doors for us. She wins people over because she keeps unfolding. You throw her a curveball, and she’ll hit it. She has answers to the skeptic’s questions. She’s really good on her toes. Her calm energy invites you to step outside of yourself and move toward your greatest potential. She helps me be not just the leader I want to be, but the leader that other people deserve. She’s absolutely changed my life.”
— Blair Nelson, VP Consumer Marketing and Brand

“What GG does is not surface stuff. It’s the real meat and potatoes ‒ the big rocks ‒ that allow your team to be more successful in day-to-day work and more connected as a group of leaders because you’re building really valuable skills and doing it together.”
— Scott Laband, President

“I’ve been fortunate enough to go to really amazing programs with high price tags and amazing venues. The online program I did with GG had more impact for me than any program I’ve been through. It taught me how to own my strengths and gifts and really amplify them. I am more curious and more courageous. I can now confidently say what my greatest gifts are and how I show up with them in the world."
