Why Downstream Partners?

Strong and effective leadership is needed now more than ever.

Today’s leaders face global opportunities and pressures, advancements in technology, a fast-moving economy, racial and social inequities, political polarization, major policy issues, a pandemic and our recovery from it.

The amount and pace of change (or needed change) in our world is extreme.

It’s both exciting and daunting. And for courageous leaders who are willing to step into the discomfort of vulnerability, the opportunities to be more effective and inspiring are extraordinary.

What kind of leader have you been? What kind of leader do you want to be? And are you ready to become the leader you were meant to be?

Leaders who work with us:

  • Gain trust and confidence by becoming more self-aware, recognizing their own strengths, opportunities for improvement and hidden biases.

  • Create a culture of self-awareness and continuous improvement in which everyone’s strengths are leveraged and opportunities for improvement are addressed.

  • Increase retention and engagement because people feel seen, valued and encouraged to bring their full selves to work – and because their individual values are aligned with the organization’s.

  • Gain resilience and capacity as a leader by managing their energy and getting out of resistance.

  • Increase everyone’s capacity to move through discomfort, navigate uncertainty, make decisions quickly and have difficult conversations with ease.

  • Get crystal clear about your organization’s vision and values and live into them with purpose and integrity.

  • Foster the creative thinking and innovation necessary to gain a competitive advantage and thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment.

EQ-i 2.0

EQ-i measures the interaction between a person and the environment he/she operates in. Assessing and evaluating an individual’s emotional intelligence can help establish the need for targeted development programs and measures. This, in turn, can lead to dramatic increases in the person’s performance, interaction with others, and leadership potential. The development potentials the EQ-i 2.0 identifies, along with the targeted strategies it provides, make it a highly effective employee development tool.
