Approach | Guided Ventures Group

Our Philosophy

At GVG, we believe that growth and results require awareness, choice and connection.

Organizations don’t change, people do. Progressive leaders realize this. They know success is based on a combination of personal and professional growth. They realize the future is about connection and collaboration, not cut-throat competition. Our competitors in today’s economy are our partners and customers in other areas of our business, work and life. Progressive leaders know that social responsibility and profit can work together. They know attracting and retaining the best talent requires a workplace with an expansion based, can-do mindset in addition to accountability and results. And the “how” may vary at different points in time, but the “why” is always clear.

At GVG, we don’t just guide you through your change venture; we provide the map to empower you to make the trip yourself, each time the destination changes.

Our Approach

Step One – Awareness

Every journey starts with a “You are Here” sign. Change can only happen when we accept and meet people where they are. We work with you to determine your starting point. That can include anything from informal conversations with leaders to formal assessments and surveys on your culture and current practices. It also includes clarifying where you want to go and what is currently in the way of getting there.

Step Two – Choice

All paths help with learning. Some paths are more well worn because they are the quickest route available based on those who have gone previously. Our guides help identify and create a roadmap to your desired destination. Whether it’s clarifying the purpose and values of the organization, supporting mindset shift in people or putting a strategic plan together for action, we coach, consult and facilitate to walk the path beside you and your organization.

Step Three – Connection

Change comes from taking one step forward at a time. We don’t need to do everything at once, starting and taking the first step is the key then adjusting along the way.

The journey may include anything from leadership and team working sessions to education programs to group and executive coaching to consulting advisor work. Usually the solutions are a combination.

All solutions are tailored to your organization and the destination you wish to achieve.

C.O.R.E. Values

Our approach supports our C.O.R.E. values as well.

They include:

C – Curiosity with an open mind (versus judgment)

We bring intellectual humility and a growth mindset for always learning and trying new things.

O – Ownership for self and actions

We take personal accountability for our mindset and attitude and the commitments we make to ourselves and others.

R – Respect for others, disagree on issues, not people

Everyone deserves respect just for being human. We value diversity of thought and experiences and recognize there is rarely one right answer to a solution.

E – Empathy and compassion for self and others

We have all come to this world from different experiences. Taking another’s viewpoint is critical for building relationships and connection.
