You have qualified people.
You have smart strategies.
But how do you rate the quality of the relationships inside your organization?
For a business to thrive, the day-to-day behaviors of its leaders have to align with its strategies. This happens when relationships are built on self-awareness and an appreciation for the value of diverse personalities and perspectives. Thanatopsis Consulting guides the alignment process by putting people at the center of every solution.

effective delivery method than what I am used to – i.e. PowerPoint for days!”

“Throughout my career, I have been afforded the opportunity to be guided by some of the best executive coaches in the industry. Upon my arrival to Cabela’s Club Visa, World’s Foremost Bank, I was introduced to Susan Bean. My experience with her has been well above expectations, and she is the most effective coach that I have worked with to date. Her use of the Birkman assessment tool is masterful and the debrief session revealed the root cause of my natural behavior tendencies. Susan has helped me improve as a leader and I am excited about my continued growth under her tutelage. I would recommend her services to any executive that is looking to take their game to the next level.”

“This was an unbelievable experience. The leadership week was full of great learning material and the project challenged us to understand our roles within the team and what we needed to do to be successful. I never understood the difference between a leader and a manager, this program clearly defined the difference and how we must adapt to the change from manager to leader, I cannot express my gratitude for having the opportunity of being a part of this program; it was an experience I will not forget.”
Winn-Dixie MLP Participant
“Thanks for all of your support and efforts … the healthy dialogue resulted in some good work. Now we just have to get the ball rolling and stay focused. I appreciate you reinforcing that trying to do too many things at once results in nothing getting done well.”
CEO, SteinMart
“I am reaching out to extend my thanks and appreciation for conducting the Birkman review session with my team. Everyone walked away with a better appreciation for those that we work with as well as a better understanding of how our own selves operate. I do not think that a few hours goes by in my day that I do not hear one of my team members refer to themselves as a “Red,” “Yellow” or one of the other colors. The session truly resonated with the group, which enables me to continue to use the Birkman methodology as a referral point throughout the year.”

“This skillset is missing from a lot of organizations and industries. I receive a lot of leadership
training and it doesn’t focus on these strengths/skills. I also enjoyed being able to learn in class
and implement at work in between lessons/concepts.”
