We partner with leaders to build future-ready talent
Leadership development coaching and consulting to build healthy, high-performing leaders, teams, and organizations.
The six reasons people disengage and underperform at work
Your team can avoid these pitfalls
Lack of time for the leader to develop their people.
1
No plan for development if the leader does find the time.
2
Interpersonal issues on the team become obstacles to growth and progress.
3
Unclear goals and objectives. Lots of work is getting done, everyone is busy, but to what end?
4
Too much change within the organization in a short amount of time.
5
A string of poor-performing months with little clarity around how we are going to improve.
6
These six issues are the primary reasons people disengage and underperform at work, but Cleaver partners with leaders to ensure your people avoid these pitfalls and grow into the future-ready talent you know they are capable of being.

What it’s like to work with us
With thousands of coaching and consulting firms to choose from, what makes working with Cleaver so different?
Enterprise Understanding
Holistic Development
Ongoing Partnership
-
Do you ever feel like coaches and consultants come into your organization with their own method, tactics, language, and agenda and apply it to your unique situation? Does it ever feel like the fit is not quite right? One of the things we hear regularly from our clients is "You are the first outside firm that has really taken the time to understand our business." Before we ever begin diagnosing issues, building development curriculum or scheduling coaching calls, we listen, learn, and understand your organization.
-
One of the things we hear from our coaching clients is, "When I started my program with Cleaver, I expected to learn a few tactics and strategies, but nothing that would change how I do my job. What I got was coaching that helped me exceed my sales targets AND improved my marriage." While we don't require our coaching clients to dig into their personal lives, the coaching conversations tend to go beyond normal professional development and help people cultivate deep, meaningful, fulfilling lives in both the professional and personal arenas.

Consulting, at its worst, is a group of skilled professionals diagnosing problems and making recommendations for solutions. Coaching, at its worst, is like a personal trainer that helps an individual improve at their individual targets. We step in as an ongoing partner both helping to name and work through issues at the enterprise and team levels, and we provide ongoing support and development to individuals linked to the strategic issues that the organization cares about. What we often say is "every professional deserves a plan, and every plan needs a partner." The Cleaver team is committed to being that partner for as long as you need us.
What people say after going through one of our programs
Senior Account Director
“My experience with Cleaver was one I will never forget. Cleaver helped to further develop me both personally and professionally. I will tell all my colleagues, friends, and family if they want to take the next step in their careers and personal development to invest the time, money, and energy in this program. Everything from the 1:1 coaching, team calls, in-person sessions, modules, and development plan exercises helped develop me into a better person, husband, father, colleague, and friend.”
AVP Sales Manager
“Very simply, thank you. The program itself was a fantastic experience and was truly worth the time. The Cleaver Team is absolutely fantastic. I have not had an experience with professional development that felt so personal, and that credit goes to Cleaver. To have the chance to take a deep dive into who I want to be and how I want to spend my time at this stage in my career was a gift.”
Senior Sales Rep
“This program grew my relationships with other sales reps across the whole country in a way I would never have been able to do on my own. What Cleaver was able to do created a stronger culture within the organization because now I have twenty-six new people that I can reach out to for teaming issues, best practices, and problem-solving. Cleaver’s program has catapulted my success in a really short amount of time.”
