A Focus on Ascents

Team Building & Leadership Training Boulder and Denver Colorado

5.12 Solutions Consulting Group

How did my team get so far behind? I’m leading, why isn’t anyone following? Have my behaviors derailed my career?

Something has to shift.

5.12 (five-twelve) Solutions Consulting Group exists to support organizations and individuals looking to make major and lasting shifts.

In the rock-climbing world, a 5.9+ would be an intermediate level climb. So when you tackle a 5.12, you’re dealing with challenges that test—maybe even exceed—your abilities and skills. For Sal, climbing became a natural metaphor for leadership development and team building.

  • Shift your organization to create a coaching culture that withstands tough situations to come out stronger and more resilient.
  • Shift your team to align around a common purpose and collaboratively work toward objectives.
  • Shift your emerging leaders to transition from peers to managers by leading by example, aligning their team, building cohesion and engaging and cultivating team members.
  • Shift your senior leaders to focus less on skillset and more on mindsets, and the appropriate behaviors that follow, and ultimately unite the people around them.
  • Shift your managers to become coaches with the skills and technology they need to build important coach/coachee relationships with their team members that lead to better business results.
