Smart leaders & organizations
know their success is driven by people.

Organizations thrive when the people thrive.

Remarkable organizations embrace this reality and use it to their advantage by cultivating cultures, teams, and leaders which in turn create outstanding products and services.

As a result EVERYONE WINS: Stakeholders marvel at the bottom line, leaders get to focus on what distinguishes the organization in the present while creating an even better future, teams (employees working together) show up fully to do their best work, customers are provided the best-possible product and service, and communities celebrate the indirect impact of the organization.

A dream? Maybe. Possible?
Oh yeah!

What others are saying…

Duane did a masterful job of not only creating and teaching a well balance course and personally helped my with my own leadership journey. You could do no better than trusting Duane to improve your own employees. It will be the best decision you made in a long time!!
Tony Holland – Director of Customer Financial Services Dolese Bros. Co
Duane is one of the most people-centric, principle-focused leaders I’ve worked with. His focus on people makes him someone who kindly guides people toward the most ideal version of themselves. His sense of self and knowledge of how people are wired make him powerful when asking the right questions, facilitating tricky conversations and doing it all with kindness and tact.

Winning teams don’t create themselves.

Results, innovation, and resilience are not guaranteed by simply filling every seat at the table, being in an office space together, or wearing the same uniform. Successful organizations nurture leadership, culture, and health as if their success depended on it (because it does).

Services explained

Leadership Coaching

Covalente offers personalized coaching for leaders committed to excelling in the most meaningful ways. Coaching is for high-performing leaders wanting to continually grow into the best version of themselves.

We start by understanding a coachee, their goals, and the next steps to move beyond successful to thriving.

Be ready to intentionally create a better future. Live & lead with new awareness and effectiveness. Outcomes are co-owned by coachee and coach and (when applicable) accountable to client leadership.

I’M READY TO THRIVE

Team Development

It is an art to consistently rally individuals around a common purpose, align efforts to create true synergy and achieve extraordinary results. 

Covalente facilitates resources and training to help individuals come together and excel as teams. More than leverage assessments and information, our goal is to nurture the culture and foster the health which ultimately determines a team’s potential.

WE’RE READY TO EXCEL TOGETHER

Organizational Culture

Culture is. Whether or not an organization decides to pay attention, there is an understanding of “how we do things around here” which guides and influences the behavior of every person. 

The best organizations are intentional and pre-decide what type of culture they want to create. Others respond to the felt need and have to correct course to not lose what is truly important.

Covalente can help an organization in any stage of bringing a desired culture to life. We can help identify the values that drive founders, facilitate word-smithing the mission, vision and values, and operationalize it all into the human resources and people systems.
