Building Cultures That Work
What does it mean to bring our whole selves to work?
To be able to be creative? Collaborative?
Most people don’t want to trade money for having to leave work exhausted, angry, and demotivated.
At EILI, we understand how to integrate good strategy with exceptional culture.
EILI focuses on culture because we have learned through experience, that no matter how brilliant the idea, and how much collaborators may like each other, culture actually can determine the success or failure of executing an idea and undermines good strategy. A great culture leaves people with energy to be creative at work and still have lives outside work.
Welcome to EILI —A Message From Our Founders
3 Way to Access Great Culture
Achieving great culture is not one size fits all. Culture has to live in the strategy and enhance the goals of the company. At EILI have leveraged 30 years of experience to bring you 3 ways to access great culture.
Supported Self Study
A supported self study online course to help individuals and teams learn the nuance of emotional intelligence - the building block of healthy culture creation for individuals and teams.
Culture Building Consulting
Organizational and individual consults and coaching to help leaders design clear organizational culture that has buy-in from top to bottom, and through intergenerational and hybrid work environments or through rapid growth and change. This custom consulting service is designed to understand your specific needs, map internal and external culture, and support you and your teams through innovative testing, team coaching and tactical strategies.
4 Day Intensive Workshop
We offer a 4 day strategic leadership intensive workshop online to help leadership understand how to integrate culture into their workplace. It is experiential, interactive and offers peer connection. It allows you to learn the building blocks, understand your nuances, and build skills to understand what works best for you at a fraction of the cost of a full culture building consult.
What sets us apart?
We help you move beyond the level of cognition.
We don’t just give you the information. We help you embody it and put it into action.
Practice-Based: Our approach isn’t theoretical—it’s experiential. Each week will have guided reflection prompts, peer interaction, and group coaching to help solidify your learning though putting theory into practice and lived experience.
Tailored Pathways: Whether you are just starting out in your career, a seasoned leader, looking to transform your leadership style or an entire organization, we meet you where you are.
Run It Twice: Our program is designed for real growth. That’s why we take you through the material twice. Repetition is proven to integrate learning. Once to understand it, and again to master it.
