Training and coaching that turns communication, trust, and leadership into measurable performance.

Every PowerHouse engagement is built on the same truth:

Performance problems are rarely skill problems. They’re communication, clarity, and leadership problems.

 

Our programs develop the behaviors that eliminate friction, accelerate decisions, and help teams, leaders and people execute at a higher level.

POWER Communities

Equip ERGs and diverse talent with the skills, language, and confidence to lead with POWER.​

​

POWER Communities™ equips employee resource groups and diverse talent communities with the communication, leadership, and influence skills needed to create meaningful impact—without overburdening individuals or positioning ERGs as symbolic rather than strategic.

​

Through structured training and facilitated development; the program helps ERGs move beyond connection and advocacy into capability-building that supports retention, internal mobility, and a stronger leadership pipeline.

​

For HR and DEI leaders, this means:

  • More effective, empowered ERGs aligned to organizational priorities

  • Increased engagement and retention among underrepresented talent

  • Stronger readiness for leadership and cross-functional influence amongst diverse talent

  • A scalable, development-focused approach to inclusion and belonging

​

POWER Communities™ ensures your ERGs are not just active, but equipped, credible, and connected to performance.

PowerHouse WIT™

Leadership development for women navigating high-performance environments.​

​

POWERHouse WIT™ is a leadership development program designed to support women in technical and leadership roles while addressing the systemic and interpersonal dynamics that often stall progression in fast-paced organizations.

​

The program develops the communication, confidence, executive presence, and decision-making skills women need to operate with clarity and credibility—without requiring them to over-adapt, self-silence, or carry the burden of culture change alone. Participants gain practical tools to navigate visibility, influence, feedback, and performance conversations in ways that align with organizational expectations and leadership standards.

​

For HR and Talent teams, POWERHouse WIT™ delivers:

  • Increased retention of high-potential women

  • Stronger leadership readiness and succession depth

  • Reduced burnout among women carrying informal leadership and ERG load

  • A development experience aligned to business performance, not “confidence coaching”

  • A scalable, credible investment in women’s advancement

​​​

POWERHouse WIT™ can be implemented as:

  • An ERG-sponsored development experience

  • An add-on cohort-based leadership accelerator for women in tech

  • A targeted investment for high-potential women or succession candidates

POWER Team Dynamics™

Strengthen how leaders and teams communicate, decide, and execute so performance scales. 

​

POWER Team Dynamics™ is designed for executive teams and technical organizations where speed, alignment, and execution matter—and where human friction quietly slows progress.

​

The program develops the core behaviors that high-performing teams rely on: clear communication, strong ownership, psychological safety with high standards, and healthy conflict that leads to better decisions. Rather than adding new processes, POWER Team Dynamics™ improves how work happens—so teams move faster, leaders spend less time in escalation, and execution becomes more reliable.

​

For CEOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering, this work addresses the real constraints to scale: unclear decisions, missed handoffs, feedback avoidance, and leadership drag that no amount of tooling can fix.

​

POWER Team Dynamics™ delivers:

  • Faster, cleaner decision-making across leaders and teams

  • Improved delivery reliability without increasing headcount

  • Fewer escalations and less leadership time spent mediating friction

  • Stronger accountability and follow-through at every level

  • Teams that collaborate effectively under pressure

​

The result is an organization that can move at speed, without burning out leaders or breaking trust.

​

Where POWER Team Dynamics™ is most effective

  • Engineering and product organizations navigating growth or complexity

  • Leadership teams experiencing decision drag or misalignment

  • Cross-functional teams struggling with accountability or ownership

  • Organizations investing in tools and systems without matching human capability

POWER Team Dynamics™ ensures your people can operate at the speed your business demands.
