Integria Group

Developing Conscious Leaders

The Integria Group LLC is a team of business consultants with expertise in leadership development, coaching and organization development. The word “integria” is derived from the word “integrity” and describes our approach to the leadership and organizational development work that we do. Integrity is typically defined as having meaning in two dimensions: internally and externally. Internally it refers to the quality of an individual’s values and principles. Externally it refers to the demonstration of those values and principles in action. So, our work at The Integria Group helps leaders “integrate” their inner aspirations and values into effective leadership behavior

Through our approach, leaders:

  • Become more aware or “conscious” of effective thought patterns
  • Identify thought patterns that sabotage high performance
  • Develop skills that build robust relationships, solve difficult problems, enhance personal engagement and create strong business results

Our Conscious Leadership and Coaching content and philosophy also reflects the principle of integration. For example:

Many managers we have worked with have come into our workshops priding themselves on being able to be “brutally honest” when confronting someone. We have observed others to be so passive and respectful during a conversation that what they really think never comes out at all. We help leaders integrate these two seemingly opposite styles through a framework that enables one to be honest and respectful at the same time.

Read on to further understand how we help leaders develop integrated capabilities.

Approach

Business success hinges upon the abilities of the leaders to make the right business decisions, execute them flawlessly and harness the energy, passion and spirit of the people they lead. We focus on effectiveness in three dimensions:

  • Business Results (IT)
  • Team and Organization Effectiveness (WE)
  • Personal Engagement (I)

A successful organization, work group or team measures effectiveness in these three key dimensions. We customize our solutions to meet the unique requirements your business demands. Our objective is to help make you and your organization successful. With that in mind we work to understand your key business issues and drivers and then ensure that what we offer solves real problems and adds value.

Leadership Development

Conscious Leadership is methodology designed to help leaders create a leadership footprint that maximizes their ability to accomplish business goals, build strong, trusting relationships and increase personal engagement and job fulfillment. It does this through a process that enables leaders to closely examine their own attitudes, values and beliefs and consciously choose highly effective approaches to communicating with integrity, building accountability, and solving difficult issues with creativity and consensus. We believe that our values, attitudes and beliefs, our 'being" drives what we do. The leverage to make improvements or to change is found first in who we are "being."

Leaders learn how:

  • To focus their attention on how to respond to situations powerfully
  • To develop a mindset of learning, curiousity and humility
  • To lead with integrity
  • To have difficult conversations and be both honest and direct
  • To honor commitments and build accountability in others

Coaching

Development Coaching

For high potential leaders who have been identified for a more senior position. Coaching involves building on existing leadership skills and helping leaders significantly upgrade their “inner operating system” to be able to embody the kind of leadership that can create the envisioned future for the organization.

Performance Coaching

Addresses specific skills and performance gaps a leader has identified. Coaching is focused on getting to the source of current behavior, helping the individual gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their results, and their relationship to others. Performance Coaching puts leaders in touch with what is working, what is not and how to get greater leverage on change.

Integral “whole person” Coaching

For leaders who are looking for intensive coaching at the level of self. This transformational coaching helps individual identify the structure of their self-identity and how old patterns are kept in place. Existing problems can only be challenged with a different level of awareness and consciousness. Integral coaching helps leaders navigate the different stages of awareness and become more effective.

Testimonials

We have worked with many clients and we always like to hear they come out from the cooperation happy and satisfied. Have a look what our clients said about us.

  • This is fantastic stuff and has given me a boost in energy. I wish we could have a whole training session on this topic alone. I’m going to take what you have given me and incorporate my own experiences and put together an action plan for me to execute in my small corner of the world. Once I have my head around what I would like to do, I would appreciate the opportunity to bounce some of these ideas off of you. Thanks again. I am truly grateful.
