CLIENTS AND RESULTS
POLICING · LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The challenge. Senior women in policing, sworn and civilian, face particular challenges and rarely get time away from operational demands to focus on their own growth.
The outcome. A five-day residential program, followed by coaching circles, built deep peer networks and new skills. Leaders from more than 30 police services have taken part, and the program is in its fourth cohort.
“The five-day format was a game-changer. It gave us the time and space to go beyond surface-level conversations and truly practice our leadership skills in a safe space.”
CIVILIAN DIRECTOR, REGIONAL POLICE SERVICE
HEALTH CARE · FACILITATION
The challenge. During budget cuts, possible layoffs and a major organizational review, 50 senior administrative and clinical leaders needed tools and peer support.
The outcome. A monthly 90-minute series combining skill-building with peer problem-solving far outlasted its six-month pilot, and turned apprehension into collective growth.
HEALTH CARE · LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The challenge. A health authority needed to develop its frontline leaders.
The outcome. A ten-day program for cohorts of 40, with coaching and action learning projects. Many graduates are now managers, directors and executive directors, and several health authorities adopted the model.
“Zayna and her team’s THRIVE program was key to developing our frontline leaders.”
VICE PRESIDENT, HEALTHCARE
HEALTH CARE · EXECUTIVE COACHING
The challenge. An executive needed to steer a large organization through the uncertainty of the pandemic.
The outcome. Coaching gave her a confidential space to commit to adaptive action, manage reactivity and bring people together to find solutions.
“Zayna’s coaching was a powerful anchor during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
SENIOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HEALTHCARE
TECHNOLOGY · STRATEGY
The challenge. A new technology team was fragmented and disconnected from its purpose and product.
The outcome. In the first session the team accomplished more than in six previous attempts, and went on to exceed its business objectives.
“Zayna’s strategic thinking was instrumental in transforming our fragmented team into a cohesive, high-performing unit.”
VICE PRESIDENT, TECHNOLOGY
