HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Self-awareness is the cornerstone to building trust.

And it starts with finding a common language.

Knowing yourself is the first step to success. At Build Your Alliance, our credentialed, certified coaches focus on helping you find the common language that will help you foster collaboration, effective communication, and kind accountability based on a deep understanding of each individual’s unique differences. Using proven psychometric assessments and toolsets like Everything DiSC, EQi 2.0, EQ 360, Gallup’s Clifton Strengths, and the Five Behaviors, we’ll help you identify what you bring to the table and what you may be overlooking in others so you can learn how to cultivate an environment of trust and resilience. From there, the world is yours.

Are you or your team a good fit for Build Your Alliance?

Testimonials

  • Through our coaching sessions, Steven helped me find me again, articulate who I am as a leader and name the values that guide me. He helped me learn how to lean into my quirks and messiness rather than trying to change myself to fit the “typical” corporate mold. How to harness my emotions and thoughts to get the results I want. How to advocate for myself the way I advocate for others. How to lead as my authentic self. I am happier, more balanced and more fulfilled than I’ve felt in ages.

    Sr. Director at Fortrea

  • Your guidance has been invaluable in helping me rediscover my true purpose. Through introspective exercises and thought-provoking discussions, I've gained clarity on what truly drives me and how I can align my professional goals with my innermost values. Your belief in me, even during moments of self-doubt, has been a constant source of motivation and inspiration. You've created a safe space for me to explore my vulnerabilities, confront my saboteurs, and embrace my inner leader with courage and conviction…something I’ve struggled to do over the past year and a half. Your ability to hold me accountable while still challenging me to grow has been instrumental in my development. Your guidance has helped me navigate tough conversations with confidence and integrity, always staying true to my values.

Moreover, Steven's guidance in defining my life purpose has been invaluable. His insightful exercises prompted me to continually evaluate my actions against my life's goals, allowing me to navigate life's complexities with greater focus.
