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.

Great leaders realize this. They know success is based on hiring the right people and creating an environment where they can bring their best selves to work every day. This can be a tall order in a fast paced world. Even great leaders need help occasionally. That’s where we come in.

At GVG, we believe people want to be inspired and do good work. Our job as leaders is to help them get there. We start by understanding that we are not just employees but also humans and thus emotional beings.

From there, we guide leaders on the journey of improving leadership effectiveness and getting results through building emotional intelligence and adaptive communication skills in addition to many other skills needed to drive team and personal performance.

GVG brings a wealth of coaching, tools and insights from years of real leadership experience to support you in your biggest leadership challenge; people.

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. We help identify and create a roadmap to your desired destination. Whether it’s selecting and keeping the right team players, shifting communication practices, establishing an environment of trust or just supporting team improvements in well-being, we walk the path beside you and your team on the journey.

Step Three – Connection

Change comes from taking one step forward at a time. We don’t need to do everything at once, just start with the most important actions. We connect back to ourselves, our teams and those we care about through consistency in the few things that matter the most.

It’s amazing how we can inspire others just by being true to ourselves. When we show up in our best version more regularly, all relationships personally and professionally can be improved.

Many solutions can be tailored to your organization and the destination you wish to achieve.

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.
