ABOUT

Stephen Gianotti, MBA


Stephen focuses on individual, group and organizational diagnostics and development. Stephen’s areas of expertise are executive coaching, emergent leadership, strategic on-boarding, systems thinking organizational development, culture and employee surveys, focus groups, executive/team retreats, psychometric assessments, mediation and workplace harassment.

Stephen’s approach is to always incorporate a pre, during, and post process of client engagement.  This greatly increases a client’s return on investment and the likelihood that the desired development changes become sustainable.  This is done with a multitude of proven organizational development models, techniques, and skills-building all accompanied by a systems thinking methodology.  Stephen consistently partners with clients to first fully define “desired state,” then employ techniques and tools for discerning “current state” after which specific gap development plans are collaboratively created, deployed, monitored, and then turned over to the client.
