THE PACHYDERMOS APPROACH
If leading was easy, everyone could do it. As the leader of your organization, division or department - are you feeling frustrated? Maybe your team doesn't meet revenue expectations, or your vision isn’t coming to life, or your employees simply aren’t enthusiastic about the mission. What do you do, and where do you turn?
The Pachydermos Approach helps leaders get unstuck. We take a phased, yet parallel, approach that will help you move forward with purpose, clarity, and momentum.
If you’re ready to make real progress and move steadily forward in your leadership journey, keep reading. We’ll share our approach—and how it can shift your perspective to achieve what matters most to you and your team.
Phase 1 | Clarity & Self-Awareness
CLEAN THE MIRROR
“You can't lead what you can’t see — especially in yourself.”
In this critical phase, we will learn whether we should work together, and if you are truly ready to face the proverbial mirror and make the changes necessary to change your trajectory. We’ll establish a grounded, objective understanding of how you're showing up — as a leader, decision-maker, and team builder. The result - a better understanding of what you can control, what you can’t, where you might need some help and better visibility into your super powers.
We’ll help you wipe the mirror and offer you tools to take a deep, serious look at where you are as an executive:
• Leadership 360's: Conversational insight interviews with management and direct reports
• Self-observation models: Tools to help you apply the right mindset to do the work before leading others
• Reflective conversations: Deep discussions based on data and feedback, resulting in action mapping
• Alignment diagnostics: Assessments to help you honestly determine what’s working and what’s not
Throughout this phase, we will build a bridge of trust. As with any relationship, we will build that bridge through meaningful conversation, honest reflections, and open acceptance to drive change. Your daily leadership will be guided by a clear-eyed understanding of your patterns, habits, blind spots and untapped potential.
“Now that you see it, we can change it.”
gTo help you realize your fullest leadership potential, we will strengthen the systems of leadership. During this phase, we’ll ensure that there is alignment - within you and around you — through three core levers: people, process, and tools. We’ll explore what’s going on and why, with an eye on changing, building and strengthening.

• CalibratIng the team: An exercise to define roles and goals and ensure absolute clarity across your team through improved communications
g
• Creating the playbook: A mapping of priorities and a process that supports decision making that you’ll employ over the course of your leadership career
g
• Fine-tuning systems: A diagnostics review of process and systems to check for transparency and accountability to ensure all are operational and ready to support insights and action
g
• Honing the message: Building a strategic narrative that helps all players align on your vision

During this phase, you will observe new alignment, energy and capabilities between yourself and your team members — with leadership from you and your peer group that sets the tone and clears the path.
Phase 2 | Crafting Alignment
CHANGE YOUR MINDSET
Phase 3 | Strategic Progress
with Support
MOVE FORWARD
“Leadership is momentum — not just vision.”
Leadership is a practice, not a series of events. We’ll reinforce the habits, metrics, and accountability rhythms that create and sustain momentum—helping you shift from managing to connecting strategy and action so that the collective team achieves results that create forward progress. During this phase, we’ll define your leadership practice and turn on the tools that will measure success for you and your team:
• Leadership Sprints: Monthly assessments to build upon what’s working
• Pulse Checks: Weekly dashboard reviews to analyze metrics
• Alignment Testing: Ongoing surveys to ensure everyone is on the same page
• Balance Training: Check-ins to gauge your personal energy levels and time audit
Through this continuous movement, we’ll monitor your progress and enhance your practice. The Pachydermos Approach provides measurable, repeatable, and meaningful leadership models — for the leader, the team, and the mission.
INVEST IN YOURSELF AND YOUR LEADERS
The Pachydermos Approach offers you and your leadership team an opportunity to better your leadership - with executive coaching based on real-world experience. Our approach is founded in studies in organizational behavior and practical application in leadership roles, taking into account successes, failures, and everything in between. This is a grounding and transformative process - to meet you where you are, to help you move from insight to action, and to realize potential and make forward progress.
Our approach will change the trajectory of your business through opportunities you may have otherwise never considered. The Pachydermos Approach goes beyond coaching. If you need help we don’t provide, we’ll make strategic introductions from our partner network that add value. Together, we’ll build a structured, yet flexible partnership that clears the fog, strengthens the system, and builds lasting velocity.
