Using FIG's proprietary curriculum we address the skills that drive professional effectiveness, the ones that rarely appear in a job description but determine almost everything about how someone leads, communicates, and performs.

Each module can be delivered as part of a comprehensive engagement or targeted to a specific challenge. All of it is customized using FIG’s proprietary curriculum to the individual or team receiving it.

Intention

The cornerstone of all things FIG. Thinking about and knowing what you want: for yourself, your team and the greater good of the organization is a foundational principle in leadership and indeed life. If are able to consciously identify what you want, think through what steps you need to take to get you there, you’re wildly ahead of the game. Sounds simple… and simple is HARD!

CURIOSITY

Human beings are curious by nature. The internet gives us instant answers but asking the internet only gives you an answer. Asking a human can spark a conversation, a connection, a relationship. All good business stems from human-to-human relationships. Practicing curiosity affords professionals nuances, insights, and perspectives they might never have thought to ask about yet fear of looking foolish, or social avoidance, can become real barriers. That's where FIG can help.

Networking

Has anyone you know professionally actually taught you how to network well, or what that even means? Why is it important? How it benefits your organization or you as a professional? Why it is so hard for most people? Networking is a mandatory skill for any professional, FIG demystifies the intention behind networking, tools to make it less intimidating and (dare I say, fun?) and works with our clients to develop interpersonal skills for our all-digital world.

Boundaries

Boundaries are seldom given a thought, yet are fundamental in any relationship, personal or professional. Our clients learn and examine the benefits of healthy professional boundaries, what their boundaries are, how they create those boundaries, how empowering those boundaries can be, how to maintain them and how to work within them.

Technology

The importance of face-to-face communication in business is irrefutable, and yet technology has become an equally essential tool. Clients will explore how technology has reshaped their relationships and what it's revealed about their clients, colleagues, and themselves, and how to strike the right balance between digital convenience and genuine human connection. Modern business environments have unintentionally reinforced avoidance: email, messaging platforms, virtual meetings, and AI have reduced not just human interaction, but the interpersonal skills that come with it.
