who we are
Healthy Cultures Happen by Design, Not by Accident
What Sets Us Apart
Inside-to-Out Leadership
Self-aware and intentional leaders are healthier leaders. And healthier leaders build healthier – and higher-performing teams. We work with leaders, managers, and teams to be work from the inside out in order to catalyze team performance.
Simple & Scalable
We use proven, easy-to-understand frameworks that leaders can apply immediately and teams actually remember and use. Simple – but not simplistic and used by Fortune 500 companies and small businesses alike.
Measurable & Actionable
“What is the state of your team’s health – and how do you know? Answering this question is often difficult. With PIQ Strategies, know and see your team’s growth with measurable data that provides the type of insight that lead to action.
