problems we solve
“We want to develop our managers and leaders, but don’t have the internal resources”
Been there, done that. We have deep experience in creating, designing, and delivering world-class content for organizations that currently don’t have the capacity (or time) to do so themselves. For companies with a vision of building this function internally, look no further. We have the team in place to advise and guide you along the way.
“Bottom line: regardless of the level of leadership you are looking to develop, I have found Authentica to be my go-to solution.”
Mark P.SVP of Operations
“Our front-line supervisors and managers are not equipped to lead”
Front-Line Supervisors/Managers have one of the hardest jobs, yet most companies do almost nothing to prepare or develop them. Ready to buck that trend, get better results, and retain your best? Call us.
“Authentica has helped us evolve and grow as leaders and people by providing us with wonderful tools to use in our careers and in everyday life.”
Cory J.SVP, National Sales Manager
“Good people are leaving because of bad company culture”
A healthy workplace requires intentionality.
If Peter Drucker was right, and culture really does “eat strategy for breakfast”, then culture must be prioritized and part of your organizational strategy, and we know how to help.
“Everyone in our room was better off... the Emotional Intelligence presentation a truly transformative experience for our employees,”
Christy B.Head of Talent and Culture
“Cross-functional silos and ineffective working relationships are impacting performance and crushing job satisfaction”
We have helped many clients who have historically struggled with building collaborative, productive & inclusive cross-functional teams. We understand what is required to close this gap, in order to improve (and/or restore) organizational performance.
“I have had the pleasure of partnering with Authentica and find them and their approach to be a true partnership bringing a strategic approach with delivering in a truly human way that connects with people, resonates and drives lasting impact.”
Jennifer S.Managing Director
“My team is exhausted and I'd like to hold a retreat to re-energize”
If your team is exhausted, then it’s likely you are too. Designing, organizing and leading retreats is a sweet spot for us. We’ll collaborate with you to understand what outcomes are important, where you’d like to go, and we’ll handle the rest!
“The foundational learning, experiences and coaching I received from Authentica has helped shape who I am today.”
Jeremy N.CEO
“We’re not good at managing and resolving conflict”
It’s not rocket science… it really isn’t. There is a level of simplicity that has been lost in many programs or books that address this challenge. To get better, we redirect focus to establishing a common language, practical application of a few core principles, and PRACTICE! Organizations willing to take this on find themselves less stressed, AND with improved work-life balance along the way. Sound intriguing? Let’s chat about how we can help.
“Authentica's programs are impactful, dynamic, engaging, and life changing both personally and professionally, making them truly transformative experiences...”
Michelle F.Senior Director of Human Resources
“We want to promote from within, but our ‘bench-strength’ is weak ”
Part of culture is the enduring stories that are passed from employee to employee over the years. Morale is high when people know they have a future at your company and can develop new skills over their careers. Authentica’s specialty is fostering leadership development in companies. We offer expert guidance to build strong teams for organizational success.
“Our Executive Development Program is our premier hi-potential executive development program used to accelerate the global careers of a very select group of vice presidents... I strongly endorse John's work.”
Mike DSVP, HR
