our pillars

Our proven formula for elevating extraordinary entrepreneurs is rooted in three core pillars:

Transformation

Change is both an art and a science: an openness to new ideas, a framework for collective growth, adopting new skills, setting goals–but sustainable transformation comes when the team adopts the reinvention and you begin to see results.  The Evolve transformation is personal for leaders and team members.  It is global in its effect on your company’s bottom line.

Leadership

In order to be a leader in your marketplace it requires calculated innovation, market feedback and a drive to systemize the best experience.   Focused Leadership is a way of operating daily in order to create something competitors can’t duplicate. Through coaching and training we show you how to step up and stand out.

Growth

The development and growth of your company is not just about revenues and profits but also the personal growth of owners, managers and the team.   It is about finding a larger vision and shared purpose; and then executing a pragmatic plan to make those goals a reality with all stakeholders winning.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
“We got more ideas on different lead generation strategies, we got solutions on how to handle both telephone and diagnostic objections and we even put in some practice on the trip home, to hone our skills. It was a fantastic pick-me-up, much needed and well worth the time and effort. (Evolve) provided great motivation, was a superb facilitator and trainer and I’m very glad I attended.”

Kiwi Marshall A.I.
UK​

“Twenty of our management team attended a two-day “From the Peak” Leadership series that Evolve custom planned and facilitated for our museum. We were highly impressed by Evolve’s pre-session meetings with our organization; they really took the time to get to know us both institutionally and personally. Their innate understanding of organizational concerns, and the intuitive grasp of business issues help identify sessions that provided great impact in a short time frame.”

Lynn McShane
Glenbow Museum

“The ideas and insight you gave me in how to plan and market my business were excellent. I had not looked at my business that way before and the time I now take planning each week is already starting to show dividends. I found your approach to selling very refreshing and motivating. I am now back in my business with a new confidence and organization.”

Jon Armstrong
Real Estate

"I looked forward to those meetings. I was able to feel comfort and assurance talking with my 'coach' who was also a CEO and who thus understood many of the things I was going through. I knew that your counsel was based on sound experience, not just textbook. You provided good guidance into what you saw was working and not working in our process.  We have a much healthier and constructive group now.  I am a better CEO today and Titan is a better company through your help."
