Measurable leadership impact, in leaders' own words.

Global Application Delivery & Security Company

Challenge. The People & Culture Leadership Team (PCLT) had been operating without a unifying CPO. In the absence of a single, enterprise-level owner for people strategy, long-tenured HR leaders and newer senior hires built their own ways of working — resulting in a siloed, fragmented team that was undermining credibility with the business.

Solution. F5 partnered with CLG Coaching & Consulting for a 1-day, in-person workshop grounded in The Art of Learned Intelligence and Enneagram insights, using EQ, RQ, and SQ to expose fault lines, build shared understanding, and turn live tensions into aligned, collaborative problem-solving.

Implementation. The day opened with a Start–Stop–Continue exercise embedded within an Enneagram session. Trust Equation concepts anchored the RQ conversation on credibility, reliability, and psychological safety. A Circles of Influence exercise translated frustration into clearer ownership and shared action.

“I felt genuinely partnered with you from design to delivery. You really listened to our goals, co-designed a day that balanced clear structure with real flexibility, and came in completely prepared. You read the room, let important conversations breathe, tightened others when needed, and helped us do exactly what we set out to do.” — Becky Karsh, Vice President, Talent & Growth, F5

Transforming Leadership Alignment at Google Cloud

Challenge. The senior leadership team faced significant challenges in alignment, decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration. Rapid growth, shifting priorities, and a highly complex matrixed environment led to miscommunication, decision bottlenecks, and team disengagement.

Solution. Google Cloud partnered with CLG Coaching & Consulting for a 6-month leadership transformation based on The Art of Learned Intelligence™, building capacity in EQ, RQ, and SQ to enhance leadership effectiveness, team alignment, and business execution.

Implementation. 360-degree leadership assessments, executive offsites and immersive workshops, and one-on-one executive coaching to reinforce skills and behaviors critical for sustaining impact.

“ALI delivered practical frameworks (EQ, RQ, SQ) and a clear path from ideas to outcomes. We saw faster decisions, better alignment, and real momentum across teams. Strongly recommend.” — Senior Vice President, Google Cloud Engineering

Collaborative Design for a Major Public University

Challenge. The campus operations leadership team (facilities, transportation, housing, safety) was under pressure and out of sync — siloed decision-making, slow circular conversations, low trust, and a reactive "firefighting" culture in place of strategic leadership.

Solution. CLG Coaching designed and facilitated a 2-day in-person leadership offsite grounded in The Art of Learned Intelligence, focused on EQ (self-awareness under pressure), RQ (trust and productive conflict), and SQ (clear priorities and smarter decision-making).

Implementation. Pre-offsite stakeholder interviews and a pulse survey; Day 1 built shared language around stress, triggers, and trust; Day 2 introduced decision-making and prioritization frameworks, aligning on top cross-functional priorities and a 90-day follow-up plan.

“This offsite was a turning point. We stopped operating like separate departments and started acting like one leadership team. EQ, RQ, and SQ gave us a shared language and a way forward.” — Associate Vice Chancellor, Campus Operations, UCSF

“Before the offsite, our conversations stayed on the surface. This experience changed that. CLG asked the right questions, kept us focused, and helped us turn ideas into real commitments. We walked out with a shared language (EQ, RQ, SQ) and a clear plan with owners and timelines... If you want your leadership team to move from talk to real action, this is the approach I'd bet on.” — Campus Operations Leadership Team Member, UCSF

Scaling Leadership Effectiveness at a High-Growth Startup

Challenge. A rapidly scaling Series B SaaS startup faced growing pains as it expanded from 50 to 200+ employees. The CEO and executives struggled with alignment, decision-making under pressure, and managing investor and board expectations.

Solution. Using The Art of Learned Intelligence™, CLG designed a customized 6-month leadership development program to accelerate capabilities in EQ, RQ, and SQ — essential for sustaining growth and optimizing execution.

Implementation. 360-degree leadership assessments, executive offsites and strategic workshops on vision and investor communications, and one-on-one CEO and executive coaching on presence and high-stakes decision-making.

“As a founder leading a fast-growing startup, our biggest risk wasn't a technical hurdle, it was misaligned priorities across a rapidly evolving team. The offsite facilitated by CLG gave us a clear, practical path to execution... We walked away with a shared language (EQ, RQ, SQ) and a concrete playbook we could implement the next day.” — CEO & Founder, Socket
