LEADERSHIP

"Transformation leadership and innovation are learned capabilities - muscle groups
that must be developed/trained."
RAPHAEL LOUIS VITON

See more. Collaborate better. Feel stronger.

Sharing the highest-leverage adult development programs, emerging innovation leadership best practices and tool boxes that are typically reserved for the top executives inside of multinational corporations.

Do more of what makes you stronger.

Corporate programs designed specifically to increase change readiness & EQ, for senior level execs (Spanish & English speaking) that are leading growth-oriented and future-focused companies.

NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO CHANGE
CUSTOM PROGRAMS WILL 1) ACCELERATE YOUR HIGHEST VALUE BUSINESS PRIORITIES 2) CONNECT THE
DOTS TO DEMONSTRATE TANGIBLE BUSINESS BENEFITS AND 3) BUILD YOUR INTERNAL CAPACITY TO LEAD CULTURE CHANGE, AVOID (COSTLY) "FALSE STARTS" AND MINIMIZE THE RESISTANCE TO CHANGE.

An integral approach for increasing senior leadership effectiveness according to your business case for innovation - helping to strengthen habits that enable you to see more, collaborate better and feel stronger in the face of VUCA (i.e., volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity).

INNOVATION AND UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

Unconscious bias is the #1 business challenge from which all other challenges arise. Executives are either amplifying or undermining the growth strategy - learn how to unlock their decision making bias,competing commitments and outdated success formulas.

INNOVATION AND GENDER, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION (unconscious bias training)

Help executives facilitate an environment that empowers a diverse/global group of people's intelligence, creativity, curiosity and courage to deliver better business outcomes. Most corporate GD&I programs treat the "BIAS VIRUS" ineffectively - bolted on vs integrated into the business strategy which only perpetuates a bystander-ing culture. Learn how to skillfully integrate GD&I goals; get more bang for your L&D budget.

CULTURE OF INNOVATION

Expanding corporate capabilities and lifestyle habits that help organizations become more agile, collaborative and engaged... to more quickly get to the complex problem solving of the future.
Leaders are always working on culture - you're either strengthening the antibodies/immunities to change or you're overcoming them. What you practice grows stronger.

INNOVATION PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT/READINESS

Form a deeper, shared understanding of your pipeline dynamics and learn how to better manage and prioritize ideas based on your current innovation readiness.

"When training with Raff, expect to be pushed and challenged to be more innovative and intentional than you’ve ever been and also expect to achieve higher performance levels than you may have thought possible.
He has helped (and continues to help) us raise our game

and build the “muscles” we need to position our business for long-term

energy and expertise but, above all, his genuine care and
concern for the people with whom he works."

I left each interaction with Raff with a new and deeper perspective.

Raff has an expert understanding of how cultures form & change,
and the role that leadership behaviors play in affecting that change."

"I worked with Raff on a major innovation project.
During this engagement, Raff was thought provoking, motivational
and inspirational, causing an innovation culture-shift within our organization that beautifully transcended our existing ‘rules’. His keen insight into personal and organizational dynamics is met with compassion, enthusiasm and a humility that causes the entireroom to stop and listen.
He is a powerful thought-leader who starts with the fundamentals
of ‘self’ to successfully navigate through any
business or personal challenge."
