How Your Focused Company Journey Works

Evaluate Your Organization's Health

The Focused Company Journey begins by evaluating the current state of the company’s overall health as it relates to trust, team culture, commitment, communication, collaboration, inclusion, conflict resolution, accountability, alignment, and achieving collective results.

Plan Your Overall Strategy

We will create a strategic plan or update the one you have. Strategic planning involves creating a vision for the desired future state, assessing the current state of things [business (internal factors), industry, and economy (external factors)], and formulating a plan to bridge the gap between the two. 


Business strategy typically involves making informed choices about how to allocate resources, compete in the marketplace, and create value for stakeholders. Strategic planning is crucial for organizations to gain a competitive advantage, adapt to changing environments, and achieve sustainable success.

A well-defined strategy provides a roadmap to help guide the organization's decision-making and actions about resource allocation. It also helps to align the efforts of individuals and teams towards common goals and objectives.

Work with Your Leaders

My approach includes working with each individual leader through one-on-one coaching. The Focused Leader Journey starts with helping them manage their mindset. We then evaluate their leadership capabilities and tendencies to help prioritize their focus areas of development that will yield the highest impact for the leader and their team. Next we create a plan to guide their specific skill development including clear actions and habits needed to achieve their intended outcomes. With their plan in place, leaders begin taking focused and flexible action through daily practice in their role, and adjust as needed with regular reviews. Leaders also have access to Just-in-Time Coaching which are 15 minute targeted sessions to help them work through a specific challenge as they arise.

Working with each leader individually is a key component in building foundational safety and trust that is then extended into the group sessions. Leaders are supported by me, their coach, and then feel that support extension over time with the group. It is incredibly important for me to build trust with each leader individually so I can carry that into your team dynamic. Your leaders and team will move farther, faster by adopting this approach.

Work with Your Teams

Group sessions are engaging and interactive, designed to provide a safe space for leaders to share, be seen, feel heard, work through their challenges together, explore learning on relevant topics impacting them, and to practice building foundational skills of a dynamic team.

Group sessions are incredibly effective because they provide the team with a shared language and experience that strengthens their bond, and helps them align and move forward together. A result of this ultimately extends back to the overall health of the organization.

Each group session will follow a structure similar to the following:

👉 Pre and post evaluations to determine team progress

👉 Opportunity to bring relevant challenges to the table

👉 Team review, learning and discussion with breakouts to deep-dive in a smaller group setting

👉 Practice prompts that leaders will be expected to take action on with their teams in between sessions

👉 Accountability for the progress each leader made between cohort sessions

Praise from Clients

Heather Ellis

Executive Director

Being a part of Leader Circles has been an essential resource for me as a leader. I truly appreciate Josh Ellison for keeping our meetings productive and impactful. The feedback I got from the board is that this was the most productive Board Strategy Session we have ever had, and that is mostly due to you being a great facilitator!

I’ve been working with Josh Ellison for more than 5 years as an Executive Coach for both myself and my leadership team, a Facilitator of our strategic planning sessions and quarterly check-ins and for 25 of our managers. Josh has provided the structure and encouragement to help me better lead my team, set and achieve goals, and dig deeper than I ever would have on my own. Josh has a personable and easygoing style and knows when and what to push to help you achieve results. I highly recommend Josh and Leader Circles to anyone looking to improve themselves and their business.
