Organizations served include Google, Disney and Lululemon — but the more telling number is the 10,000 leaders trained, because that is the measure UpLevel actually optimises for. A logo on a client list says somebody bought something. A trained internal coaching cadre says the capability stayed.
UpLevel specialises in training cadres of internal coaches, developing coaching cultures, and equipping organizational leaders to bring out the best in others by taking a coach-approach to leadership. It also supports educational change by training teachers, students and school leaders to use coaching skills.
Alongside that sits a suite of customised products and services for the engagement, health and wellbeing of organizations, communities and families — with specialist practices in emotional leadership and resiliency, and in navigating end-of-life and grief.
