Truly successful companies inspire connection.
They do that in three ways:
|
Values are how you foster and inspire connection.
Most companies define theirs. But living them can sometimes be tricky to do, especially when there are competing business priorities. To what degree are your organization's values being lived daily through behaviors, demonstrated competencies and quality working relationships? Is there alignment between your organization's values and your people's individual values? To become a values-based organization, begin by looking at your story. Van Ness & Co helps you choose your story! Leadership is all about how you connect, and inspire connection in others, which is necessary to drive business outcomes.
Developing leaders is about helping them connect with their own values, the company's values, and clearly articulating those values in the context of business strategy and plans for execution. VN&Co helps leaders connect with their own story - and communicate that story with clarity and impact. We help you choose your story. The purpose of leadership is to change the world around you in the name of your values, so you can live those values more fully. - Stan Slap Culture is a key driver of success. Everyone knows that.
But, how do you nurture a culture that keeps employees fully engaged, adaptable and performing at their best? We help companies do that well. Organizational culture is essentially the story you tell, and that gets lived out daily. VN&Co helps you choose your story. A culture is not invented. A culture constantly evolves...which is why it must be nurtured. |

Values, leadership and culture are all intertwined
They inform, support and reinforce one another. Valuable each on their own, it’s the integration of these three that truly creates connection and drives success.

These are unprecedented times. Companies need to adapt quickly to keep pace with constant global change. The "Great Resignation" has brought back the focus on employee engagement.
Connection and Belonging are terms being used a lot lately. People want to feel connected to each other and to good work. They want to feel they belong to something important. They long to feel valued for who they are and what they do.
How do you attend to both at the same time?

HELPING YOUR PEOPLE
ENLIVEN
When your people are fully alive, they bring their best selves to work. They have a positive affect on everything they do and everyone with whom they interact. They influence the positive outcomes and are your most productive resource.
ENGAGE
Many researchers have validated the importance of employee engagement. Fully engaged employees outperform others, go above and beyond and provide greater value. They also help you keep costs down with less sick days and less turnover.
CONNECT
In order to be successful, there’s only one thing you must do. Connect. When you are truly connected to your best self, to what you’re doing and why, and to your audience, you are unstoppable.
