who we are
Healthy Cultures Happen by Design, Not by Accident
What Sets Us Apart
Sustainable Transformation
Our focus is on long-lasting transformation – not short-lived inspiration – made possible by an approach that doesn’t rely on a single “expert” to drive change and gives your entire team a common leadership language.
Simple and 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 Insights
“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.
