New leaders
Merged teams
Rapid growth
Your culture sets your cap.
Your company is on a mission to achieve excellence. To reach this goal, your team needs to be fully engaged and performing at its best. Yet lately, you’ve likely noticed cracks forming—confusion, disconnection, and frustration are slowly eating away at your team’s potential.
These fractures—whether caused by unprepared leaders, accelerated growth, mergers, acquisitions, or everyday frustrations—start small, like tiny cracks in a bone. Left unchecked, they spread, weakening the entire structure of your organization and steadily eroding your team’s morale.
Self-leadership helps you reach new heights.
Hi, I'm John Bentley, and I’ve experienced all sorts of cultural fractures. In fact, I’ve caused more than I’d like to admit.
Over the last four decades, I’ve learned that healing existing fractures and avoiding future breaks consistently comes down to a single solution: we must learn to lead ourselves before we can lead others. We must master self-leadership.
What is self-leadership?
Certain circumstances make cultural fractures more likely, but it’s how humans respond that causes the actual break.
We need leaders at all levels in our companies who adopt healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving, especially under pressure. That's self-leadership.
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE
As an advisor, John has broad experience and insight. As a speaker, he is engaging and dynamic. As a thought leader, he has big ideas and is a paradigm shifter. And as a person, he is deeply caring and thoroughly honest. I give John my highest recommendation!

Here are the results we're after.
Resonant leaders.
We want to see a productive leadership team functioning at its peak—one that is driven by purpose, cares for its people, and facilitates collaborative solutions.
Fearless teams.
With a cultural shift, the team can turn down distractions, like fear, insecurity, and confusion, and turn up confidence to share fresh insights and pursue bold innovation.
Untethered potential.
When everyone adopts healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving, the company is no longer bound by a cultural cap. Imagine the barriers a purpose-driven team will break!
The process is proven.
The plan is all your own.
We prepare.
As certified practitioners of tools like Everything DiSC® and 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team®, we’ll examine your organization from every critical angle to identify vulnerabilities. From there, we’ll design a leadership development plan tailored to your needs.

We perform.
As we implement our plan, we'll address competency gaps through a custom blend of workshops, group training, and one-on-one coaching. Together, these efforts will develop more authentic, self-driven leadership throughout your organization.
We perfect.
Using surveys, feedback from participants, and performance metrics set during the "prepare" phase, we’ll closely monitor the plan’s impact. Then, we'll make adjustments as needed to ensure continuous improvement and lasting results.
It's also possible that we'll talk and determine our team isn't
best suited to help. If that's the case, we'll tell you from the start.
"Everyone participated and had fun doing it."
So, how are things going?
(We'd actually like to know.)
It can be difficult to pinpoint cultural fractures in your company—and far harder to mend them. If you have concerns, or frankly, if you have plain old hope and excitement about what could be possible, I (John) would be honored to offer an outside perspective. Let's talk.
