Leadership Advisory & Development

Clear thinking
is table stakes.
Clear communication
is leadership.

We help leaders communicate with precision, build alignment, and inspire teams to move in the same direction—especially when it matters most.

The SixSense Framework

The easiest path

1.0
Directive & Short-Term
Directive mode. Single-source decisions. Goals kept close to the chest. Effective short-term — but not built for the long game. Think Jack Welch.

Most common today

2.0
Strategic & Competent
Knows the business. Thinks long-term. Consultative. But still missing the key ingredient: the ability to truly connect and inspire. Think Bill Gates.

The Goal

3.0
Connecting & Inspiring
Synthesizes the best of 1.0 and 2.0 — then adds authentic connection, clear communication, and the ability to inspire. Difficult. Worth it. Think Mary Barra or Tim Cook.

What We Actually Do

It's about how clearly you think, how well you communicate it — and whether anyone is inspired enough to follow.

01
Foundation

Strengthen Leadership Awareness

Before you can lead others, you need an honest read on yourself. We start with a self-assessment of your leadership style, your finite vs. infinite mindset, and the gap between how you think you show up and how you actually do.

  • Assess honestly where you sit on the 1.0 → 2.0 → 3.0 spectrum
  • Leverage emotional intelligence (EQ) as a real leadership tool
  • Shift from short-term "finite game" thinking to long-term strategy

If you're not aware of how you lead, neither is anyone else.

02
Communication

Sharpen Communication That Aligns

Superior communication is the single most important leadership skill. We use the Process Communication Model (PCM) — but honestly any modality will work — to help you understand how different personality types receive information — and tailor your message accordingly.

  • Use PCM to ensure your message lands as intended — every time
  • Build clear OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) and align your team around them
  • Embrace personality diversity as a team strength, not a challenge

When communication improves, everything downstream moves faster.

03
Momentum

Build Culture, Trust & Team Cohesion

Trust is the foundation of everything. When trust is high, speed goes up and cost goes down. We work on the ethics, transparency, and agility that prevent teams — and companies — from becoming irrelevant.

  • Build trust-based cultures that attract, inspire, and retain great people
  • Lead change confidently — and avoid "Blockbusterization"
  • Manage conflict, choose Supportive vs. Directive modes consciously

Ethical leadership isn't soft. It's the fastest path to performance.

04
Application

Habitualize EQ & Everyday Practice

Strong EQ is the hardest Leadership 3.0 attribute to develop — but the good news is you can habitualize it. We build practical implementation plans so these skills become second nature, not just workshop memories.

  • Develop a personal "flight checklist" for key interactions
  • Re-meet your team — learn what drives each person and communicate accordingly
  • Create a concrete plan: new OKRs, PCM application, and daily leadership habits

This is where leadership stops being conceptual — and starts delivering results.

The name? We have five senses — but the sixth, proprioception, is the body's awareness of its own position in space. We've co-opted that idea: leadership awareness. Knowing where you are, how you're showing up, and what needs to change.
