Shaping the Future of Leadership
Igniting the fusion of technology and humanity in digital environments
“Upheaval is a must-read for anyone committed to building resilient, future-ready organizations armed with collaborative, adaptable and innovative teams.” – Dr. Marshall Goldsmith
Building A Brighter Future
Harnessing the power of technology is grounded in giving your leaders and teams the essentials they need for exceptional digital leadership. We believe the future of business in a digital environment calls for leaders with all the foundations necessary for leading high-performance teams and creating adaptable cultures.
Fueling Digital Transformation
Transforming an organization requires leaders who can roll up their sleeves and be committed to it. That’s why, for over 15 years, we have provided transformation advisory services that encompass more than technology. It takes individuals, teams, the business, and the system to make a digital transformation successful.
The right Conditions for Success
Leading highly skilled technology workers means leading high-performance teams, creating adaptive cultures, and stimulating continual innovation. To do that, the Board of Directors and Executives must create the right conditions for those efforts to thrive, which will positively impact all strategic goals. Our coaching, advisory and training is geared to your outcomes.

“Enormous Respect”
“I would highly recommend Patti as a leadership and executive business coach. She helped me suss out my goals for coaching in away that helped me to really own them. One of the gifts I received from being coached by Patti was that she helped to identify when I had a perception of myself that was flawed or when I was being judgemental of myself and others. When this happens in real time, there’s such power in the pause and reflect moment. I have enormous respect for Patti and feel honoured to have been her coaches.”
“Empowering Transformation”
“Patti’s leadership was instrumental in bringing people and teams together to guide us through a complex project. She provided so much support to my team, other teams and me, and created a safe environment for us to collaborate in. She found ways to bring forward new ideas and effortlessly navigated us through change. Patti taught me how to be a better project sponsor to truly empower transformation.“
“Laid Out An Entire Framework”
“Patti’s deep knowledge surrounding the often overlooked, but the strategically important topic of organizational management of change was a considerable asset to our team. In a very short period of time, Patti was able to layout an entire framework for our team to use to be successful in managing change in the future. I am very grateful for her insights, and willingness to be a team player to help make us all successful.”
“When you hire people for their high-performing qualities, do what you can to prepare the conditions of the environment to allow them to perform.” – Patti Blackstaffe, Upheaval
