"In today’s environment where business is kept to debits and credits in the financial journal, Tanya brings an approach of understanding, probing, and problem resolution The first time I ever talked to Tanya was a telephone conversation pertaining to arranging some training. Though the conversation was centered on the training course, the phone call was more than this. It was more reminiscent of talking to a buddy from high school who you only talk with once every few years. The feeling of warm, concern, and obviously desire to help in anyway came across quickly. Tanya took my training on as a “personal mission” where my success was her goal. This is the type of service a company can expect from Tanya – out of the box thinking with customer success the focus.

With my training, Tanya took the time to understand “why” I was taking the training. It was not about selling a training course. It was about understanding my needs. She took time out of her schedule to stop to ensure the training fulfilled my expectations. This training has started me down the path of looking at new methods and ideas for leadership. It has assisted in my exploration of working the “softer side” of leadership where caring and emotions are explored to improve team interactions. My leadership capabilities have grown greatly because of this.

If you are looking for traditional, prescriptive solutions to Leadership, Tanya is not the person for you. Tanya approaches leadership with new, innovative, and personally tailored approaches. Her young tenure has demonstrated that a “one size fits all” solution is not the correct solution. She will attack your mentoring just like she attacks her triathlons; focused, planned, executed, evaluated, and completed. Her dedication and personal touch will ensure success."

Elevati focuses its efforts squarely on the skill that impacts business the most - relationship-building. Leaders today must be not only skilled in traditional, more technical managerial skills, but especially adept at leading teams that are virtual, multi-cultural and multi-generational.

Look around your organization. Look around your committees, task forces, sports clubs, friendship circles - you're bound to find one person who just always seems to be effortlessly bringing people together, joining two people you never thought would come together, or leading a team to incredible results. Wonder how they do it?

I'm Tanya Goodwin-Maslach, President of Elevati. Every person skilled in relationship-building uses a variety of methods to build and maintain genuine and productive relationships. However, there are four critical skills that every world class leader depends on as the FOUNDATION for all their relationship-building.

Tanya talks on BNET about how leaders can more successfully transition into their new roles.

Research tell us that one of the primary reasons executives derail in the first 18 months on the job is because of their ineffectiveness at building partnerships with their peers and team members. This skill is only increasing in importance as an absolute threshold skill for success in business.

How are you helping new leaders to:

Integrate successfully with their new teams?
Develop credibility and transparency in order to built trust with their team and customers?
Avoid the “I just can’t work with that guy anymore!” syndrome?

All our programs and services are designed to help your leaders, your high potentials, your client-facing employees develop, strengthen and maintain this most important skill in business today. Each program, each coaching engagement, and every presentation is created to have a laser-like focus on purpose. This creates little room for ambiguity and for participants to be deliberate and engaged in their development efforts in order to realize effective and measurable outcomes.

Why Elevati?

Sports and organization psychologists and neuro-scientists who study human behavior know that adults must apply themselves in a deliberate, focused way to overcome and unlearn years of habits that no longer serve our future professional goals. In our collaborative partnership with you, we have only a relatively short time to provide you the tools for success and we take that time seriously. Fortunately, this challenge plays to our strengths, which also happen to differentiate us from other approaches out there:

1. Our proposition for action is always clear and simple so that anyone could understand it. In the off-chance that it’s not, we expect to hear about it immediately so we can make it so.
2. We only care about outcomes and promise to research tirelessly for methods that produce more improvement in less time. When we find one, you’ll be the first to know.
3. Our aim is to help you fish, not provide you the tasty morsel every time. To that end, our approach promises you leave our partnership with strategies for becoming a good mentor, role model and coach for others in your organization trying to improve their performance and relationship-building skill.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in leadership development practice and research, Elevati is your resource for developing your leadership's confidence and skill in relationship-building - with customers, team members, peers, direct reports, and supervisors.
