What Are Leadership Practice Tools™?
They are simple, human, beautifully designed frameworks that help leaders:
- communicate clearly
- facilitate meaningful conversations
- reset expectations
- navigate challenges
- build trust and alignment
- support well-being and belonging

These tools meet leaders where they are — busy, stretched, and often overwhelmed — and give them something they can use tomorrow without prep, jargon, or complexity.
Every solution is co-created to become part of your unique rhythm—not just a one-size-fits-all answer
Bottom Line:
Your leaders are doing their best.

How We Work
Leadership isn’t something you attend once and walk away from.
It’s something you practice—in conversations, decisions, moments of tension, and everyday work.
Our work meets leaders where they are and offers practical tools they can actually use—whether they need something simple right now, support navigating a specific challenge, or a way to build leadership practices into how their organization operates over time.
There are a few ways to begin—each designed to meet you where you are.

NOTE: These are examples of what we can create — not templates you’ll receive
Leading Change in Real Time
Just-in-time tools for moments that matter
The Moment
A major change is underway. Leaders are being asked to explain the why, respond to resistance, and keep teams steady — often without shared language or clarity.
The Challenge
When leaders aren’t aligned, messages fragment. Each leader fills in the gaps differently, creating confusion, mistrust, and unnecessary tension. Most leaders want to show up well — they just don’t have the tools.
The Shift
We design custom, just-in-time leadership tools that help leaders pause, reflect, and align around a shared understanding of the change. These tools meet leaders where they are — building confidence, clarity, and consistency without adding more to their plate.
The Result
Leaders communicate with intention. Teams hear a clearer, more human message. The why lands — and leaders feel supported instead of scrambling.
Built for the moments that matter.
When the Message Actually Needs to Land
Shifting from data-heavy decks to messages that move people
The Moment
A high-stakes message needs to be shared — a strategy shift, transformation, or critical initiative. PowerPoint is the delivery vehicle.
The Challenge
Most presentations overload leaders with data but fail to create connection. The message is technically sound, but it doesn’t stick. Leaders walk away informed — not aligned.
The Shift
We transform existing content into visual message stories that clarify what matters most. These presentations are designed to guide attention, create shared understanding, and support leaders in having aligned conversations — not just delivering slides.
The Result
The message is remembered. Leaders speak with confidence. Teams understand not just what’s changing, but why it matters and what it means for them.
Because every slide should work as hard as you do.
Helping Managers Lead Conversations That Matter
Turning leadership development into lived practice
The Moment
Managers are navigating growth, tension, or change — and are expected to lead meaningful conversations with their teams.
The Challenge
Many managers lack practical tools for real conversations. Leadership development stays theoretical, and managers default to avoidance, over-explaining, or checking the box.
The Shift
We create interactive team toolkits that guide managers through reflection, facilitation, and action — grounded in real scenarios and everyday leadership moments.
The Result
Managers lead with clarity and confidence. Conversations deepen. Leadership development becomes something leaders do, not something they attend.
Think: action learning meets culture alignment.
From Custom Tools to a Complete System: LYFE@Work
For organizations ready to move beyond one-off tools and into sustained leadership practice, LYFE@Work brings it all together.
This six-month, ready-to-run experience builds on the same kinds of moments you just saw above — change, communication, alignment, and leadership conversations — and turns them into a shared rhythm leaders can return to again and again.
Instead of starting from scratch each time, leaders receive a complete, plug-and-play leadership practice toolkit — reflection guides, conversation outlines, session slides, and communication templates — all designed to support real conversations, reinforce shared language, and help leaders live the values they already hold.
The result: leadership development that shows up in everyday moments — not another initiative, but a practice.

Experience the Tools in Action
See what’s possible when strategy meets story — and tools are designed to be felt, not just explained.
Sometimes the best way to understand the impact of a leadership tool is to experience it yourself.
This interactive flipbook is both an example of our work and a curated collection of tools we’ve created for leaders, teams, businesses, and organizations — from onboarding kits and manager guides to program materials and conversation tools.
As you page through, you’ll see how thoughtful design helps leaders:
-
communicate complex ideas more clearly
-
create space for meaningful conversation
-
and turn everyday content into experiences people actually engage with
Whether you’re:
-
exploring fresh ideas
-
facing a specific leadership or culture challenge
-
or imagining how your own tools could feel more human, visual, and usable
This is a place to start.
Take your time. Get inspired. Notice what resonates.
Every tool you’ll see here began with a real conversation and a real moment.

Why Work With Us
You won’t find generic answers or cookie-cutter tools here. Just real partnership, built on decades of experience.
We know what it’s like to walk in your shoes—as L&D leaders, culture builders, and people-first strategists focused on IT, change management, service delivery, leadership development, strategy consulting, team effectiveness, and communication design. We’ve spent our careers creating tools that help teams thrive—from onboarding frameworks and manager toolkits to wellness programs and engagement guides. And now, we bring that lived experience to every project we co-create with you.
That tapestry gives us a rare perspective:
We understand systems, people, and how to turn complex challenges into simple, usable tools that shift behavior.
That includes a deep understanding of the systems and technologies leaders work inside every day—so our tools integrate seamlessly instead of creating more friction.
We don’t bring a program into your organization.
We bring clarity.
Language.
Frameworks.
And repeatable conversations that help your leaders lead well.
The kind of work that builds momentum — one practice at a time.
What Makes Us Different:
- Real-world HR and L&D Experience - With 15+ years in leadership development, learning design, and people strategy (Maggie), and 15+ years in internal communications, employee engagement, and behavior change (Marla), we bring both depth and range.
- Digital Tool Creation Since Day One - For 15+ years, we’ve crafted resources that simplify complexity and make culture and teams come alive.
- Strategy, Design & Delivery—Working Together - We blend clear strategic thinking with thoughtful design and creative storytelling—turning complex ideas into practical, usable tools leaders can actually apply.
Strategic use of Technology - With 15+ years each working inside IT-driven organizations, we understand how tools, platforms, data, and processes actually shape behavior so leaders aren’t asked to adopt something new—just to lead more clearly inside what already exists. That means we design leadership tools that work with your systems—not against them—whether they live in slides, digital workspaces, learning platforms, or everyday workflows. - Human-First Philosophy - Our LYFE (Loving Yourself Forward Everyday) mindset guides every tool we design—because meaningful work and wellbeing go hand in hand.
- We’re here to bring your strategy to life—one purpose-driven tool at a time
