OUR VALUES
TRANSFORMATION:
We focus on the whole person and holistic empowerment to help people become the best versions of themselves.
OPPORTUNITY:
We create a vision that spans further than the here and now. We believe opportunities emerge as people walk in their full potential. We seek to uncover the full potential in the people and organizations we serve. We seek to uncover the full potential in each other.
COURAGE:
We enable individuals to go after opportunities despite fear, obstacles, challenges.
COMMUNITY:
We create community and connection where ever we go. We aim to create deep connections that have a lasting influence on the people we serve. Through community, we are strengthened and supported to give our best contributions.
INVESTMENT:
We believe in ongoing investments in ourselves, our colleagues, our clients, and our communities to see sustainable outcomes.
Leadership and team development is layered. Cookie-cutter programs are not an option for the high quality outcomes your organization deserves. We are committed to getting to know your organization and creating tailor-made solutions just for you.
Here's our approach:
Discovery & Assessment: Research, interviews, and assessments to help us get to the heart of the issue and uncover needs, opportunities, strengths, and current challenges. Determine goals and focus areas, and get clarity on our road map for moving forward.
Strategy Development & Design: With your culture and team in mind; we develop training, coaching, and engagement initiatives. We'll develop your internal communication plan to increase buy in, and determine key metrics we'll track for success.
Strategic Execution: Program facilitation begins and the plan is implemented. We'll integrate feedback loops and progress reviews to help us understand what's working and what's not.
Measurement & Continuous Improvement: We'll review the key metrics, and determine pivots and edits to the program. Acting as your trusted advisor and program partner, we continue to support you and your leaders to maintain momentum.
"Thanks to Knights Consulting our team of 80+ was able to reflect and build on their communication styles, set goals for their individual programs, and reflect on how we all contribute to the success of the organization.

She consulted with us before to develop the agenda and activities, and provided her expertise and guidance to ensure our desire outcomes for the event were achieved. As a result of the retreat, we have clarity on our future direction as an organization. We have idenitified more effective recruiting sources for program volunteers and staff, streamlined programs, and developed a plan to diversify funding."
