Ackard wasn’t just navigating a change in leadership—it was stepping into a whole new chapter of growth. The team needed more than operational continuity; they needed strong internal alignment and personal confidence to lead at a higher level. That’s where Workplaces came in, delivering strategic coaching and team-based development to turn individual strengths into shared leadership.
Here’s how Workplaces helped Paul and his team lead a successful transition while preparing for sustainable growth:
We conducted a Stages of Growth workshop to pinpoint where the company stood—and where it needed to go. This gave the new leaders a shared roadmap forward.
Through one-on-one coaching, Paul and his peers stepped fully into their new roles, building trust in their decisions and leadership styles.
Group development sessions built cohesion and communication across the ownership group, ensuring unity in vision and action.
With clear roles and structured processes, the team was empowered to make faster, more strategic decisions that supported long-term scaling.
