For Executives and Team Leads

You're leading work that matters — whether in the private sector, nonprofit world, or international development. The complexity is real, the stakes are high, and stakeholder expectations are pulling you in different directions. You need support that understands both the systems you're trying to shift and the weight you're carrying — without oversimplifying or analysis paralysis. 

Built for Complexity. Designed for You.

We design learning journeys tailored to your context and challenges. Depending on where you are and what you need, we offer:

  • What it is: A focused, high-impact program for your team to build capacity for navigating complexity. 

    Common formats: 

    • One-day intensive → Launch small-group coaching → Virtual closing session 

    • Multi-day workshop with embedded diagnostics and action planning 

    • Multi-module programs over 3-6 months (workshops + coaching + application) 

    Best for: Senior teams, cross-functional groups, or leadership cohorts facing complex challenges 

    Outcome: Your team leaves with clarity on the real challenges, stronger collaboration, and practical tools for moving forward. 

  • What it is: 1:1 support for executives and senior leaders navigating high-stakes decisions, team dynamics, or personal development edges. 

    Best for: CEOs, EDs, VPs, and senior directors who need a thought partner 

    Outcome: Greater self-awareness, strategic clarity, and confidence to lead through complexity 

    “As I prepared to transition into the CEO role, I received 1:1 coaching that helped me identify and address personal growth edges key to my efficacy as a leader. Throughout this engagement, KONU helped me grow and develop – with conceptual rigor and powerful frameworks, challenging questions and observations, but with a lot of support, warmth and authenticity.” — Lisha McCormick, CEO at Last Mile Health

  • What it is: Ongoing coaching and facilitation to help your team work more effectively together — through conflict, transitions, or misalignment. 

    Best for: Teams stuck in dysfunction or silos, or simply wanting to improve how they collaborate 

    Outcome: Increased trust, productive conflict, shared ownership, and stronger alignment 

  • What it is: Evidence-based assessments to surface strengths, gaps, and development priorities. 

    Options: 

    • Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) — Individual diagnostic 

    • Collective Leadership Assessment (CLA) — Team/organization diagnostic 

    Best for: Leaders or teams wanting data-driven insight into their effectiveness 

    Outcome: A clear, honest assessment and developmental roadmap for improvement 

  • What it is: Organization development support for teams going through major transitions — restructuring, culture shifts, strategy pivots, mergers, or new operating models. 

    What we do: A mix of consulting, facilitation, process design, and coaching to guide your organization through the messy middle of change. 

    Best for: Organizations — whether mission-driven nonprofits, NGOs, or private sector — that know they need to change but don't know how to navigate the politics, losses, and resistance 

    Outcome: A clearer path forward, stakeholder buy-in, and sustained momentum 

    “KONU has been supporting Fairtrade in its change process since 2017. In that time, I’ve appreciated their ability to engage with stakeholders from diverse cultures and contexts, helping us drive a behavioral transformation – step by step. I’ve found them tremendously helpful in engaging with individual needs without losing sight of the larger arc of change.” — Dario Soto Abril, former CEO Fairtrade International

  • What it is: A multi-stakeholder lab where diverse players come together to tackle a shared complex challenge. 

    What happens: Diagnosis, coalition-building, experimentation, and collective action — over 3-6 months, anchored by in-person workshops 

    Best for: Cross-sector or cross-function challenges where no single group can solve the problem alone 

    Outcome: New coalitions, strategic clarity, and real progress on stuck issues 

How to Work With Us

Every partnership starts with a conversation. 

  • We start by booking one or two scoping calls (sometimes more) to understand your needs, context, and goals — and to make sure there's a genuine fit with our approach. 

    If we're not the right partner, we'll tell you honestly and refer you to trusted colleagues. 

  • If we're aligned, we write a full proposal tailored to your situation. This includes the program design, timeline, outcomes, and investment. 

  • Once you're ready, we kick off. From there, we're in it together — co-creating, experimenting, and building the capacity for leadership that lasts.
