Why SHAPE?

A Proven Approach Tailored for Complex Organizations

What sets the SHAPE Model apart is its foundation in real-world results.

Since 2017, we’ve run this programmatic approach with hundreds of individuals, refining it through the analysis of countless testimonials from both mentors and mentees. The result is a model that’s been proven to deliver measurable outcomes in large, dynamic organizations like yours.

The SHAPE Model is more than a mentoring program—it’s a strategic investment in the development of your most valuable asset: your people.

Support:

The Pillar of Transformative Mentoring

At the core of the SHAPE Model is a deep commitment to support.

Our group mentoring model creates a powerful, supportive environment where employees can candidly discuss challenges, share successes, and explore aspirations without the constraints of corporate hierarchies. This supportive network enhances not just individual well-being but also team cohesion and organizational resilience.

The emphasis on positive relationships in this program has significantly improved my overall well-being and productivity.”

Holistic Growth:

Nurturing Well-Rounded Leaders

Your organization needs leaders who excel both professionally and personally.

The SHAPE Model fosters holistic growth, recognizing that true development involves the whole person. Drawing on insights from mind-body healthcare and years of experience, we ensure that participants evolve in all aspects of their lives. This approach doesn’t just create better employees—it creates better people.

This program allowed me to grow not just in my role, but as a whole person.”

In today’s fast-paced corporate environment, authenticity is a rare but essential quality. The SHAPE Model empowers your employees to lead with their true selves, leveraging their unique strengths and values.

This authentic approach not only boosts individual confidence but also enhances team dynamics and drives sustainable success.

Understanding how to use my authentic strengths has made me a more effective and genuine leader.”

Purposeful Achievement:

Aligning Goals with Personal Purpose and Organizational Vision

The SHAPE Model emphasizes the importance of aligning personal goals with personal purpose and how mentees own purpose fits with the broader organizational vision.

By fostering purposeful achievement, we help mentees connect their daily tasks with a deeper sense of meaning and contribution. This alignment doesn’t just motivate—it drives engagement, loyalty, and long-term success for your organization. Our sessions are designed to embed this practice, ensuring that mentees are not just achieving—they’re thriving with purpose.

I learned that focus and goals support your purpose, including alignment to your values and signature strengths when considering your career pathway.”

Exposure and Empowerment:

Building Confidence and Leadership from Within

Our approach uniquely emphasizes exposure and empowerment, critical for developing future leaders. In every workshop, participants are encouraged to share their insights with the group, fostering a culture of shared learning and leadership.

We also celebrate their achievements publicly, building confidence and setting the expectation for them to take on leadership roles within the organization.

This exposure cultivates empowered employees who are ready to lead and inspire others.

It is a fantastic way to empower women to think about their careers and themselves and to take control of both by building networks and providing time and stimulus to do this. Love it and can’t do enough to support it.”
