Your world needs better leaders. We can help.

For more than 25 years, our team at Slingshot25 has worked in organizational performance roles for large, complex companies. In that time, we experienced the good and bad of what organizations tee up.

We learned one lesson in our careers: Leaders create your company’s culture and drive your company’s performance. Pure and simple. Companies with healthy cultures and high performance have leaders who understand what it really means to lead others and act in ways that bring out the best in your teams. 

Why Partner with Slingshot25?

We’ve been in the trenches, too.

At Slingshot25, we obsess about what it feels like to work in an organization. We’ve worked in organizational performance roles for large, complex companies for over 25 years. In that time, we experienced the good and bad of what organizations tee up. We’ve seen bad bosses, poorly managed changes, tangles of unnecessary bureaucracy and ever-changing strategies. Believing something better is possible, we never gave up. We stayed on the front lines, trying several approaches to make the workplace better for people. Some of our ideas worked. And when they didn’t, we learned and continued to refine our approach.

In all that we’ve learned, one lesson stands out: Leaders create your company’s culture and drive your company’s performance. Pure and simple.

Companies with healthy cultures and high performance have leaders who understand what it really means to lead others and act in ways that bring out the best in your teams. We are excited by the potential to help you make this a long-lasting reality in your organization.

Leadership training is our thing.

Leaders have an outsized impact on what it feels like to come to work. That’s why we don’t mess around with generic, check-the-box leadership training. At Slingshot25, we teach leaders to think differently, because when that happens, they show up in ways that actually change the game.

Our courses are built to be real, relevant, and ridiculously useful and we customize everything to fit your company’s goals, values, and vibe. Try getting that from a big-box training firm.

 

What is change costing you?

All changes start with an idea. We use data, analysis and hope to create a vision of the future that is better than today. But nearly 80% of change initiatives fail to reach their full potential. In the best situations, the changes achieve some of the original vision. In the worst cases, they end up worse off than before they started.

If you have a big project that needs to deliver, you absolutely want to be in the 20% of successful change projects. Think about your past change projects. How much did you invest? What did you get? If you lost something along the way, where did it go?

Coaching with Slingshot25

Leader coaching is the most powerful way to develop or deepen the mindset and skills that will ensure your cultural values are more than a statement on your website.

With over 25 years of experience, we provide one-on-one coaching that empowers leaders at every level to rise to their potential. Whether navigating change, stepping into a new role, or wanting to address blind spots and performance feedback, our one-on-one leader coaching helps leaders unlock fresh perspectives, deepen their impact, and lead with purpose.

Our coaching works. We don’t treat the job of a leader as merely a collection of techniques to be learned. We shift perspectives and help your leaders find new ways of thinking so that they can find answers to their most challenging problems now – and long after coaching ends.

We get attendees buzzing.

You want the event, not just another snoozefest in a ballroom. You want energy, insight and that electric feeling that will leave attendees saying, “That made me think differently.” That’s what we do.

At Slingshot25, we deliver thought-provoking, engaging content with a dash of humor (because real learning does NOT have to be boring).

Whatever your event needs – whether it’s a keynote, an interactive breakout, or a lively panel, we’ll bring fresh thinking, challenge assumptions and give leaders something real to take back with them.
