We focus on the Ting in consulting. Ting is a Mandarin Chinese character that symbolizes listening with the whole body. This reminds us of the fact that only about half of verbal communication is conveyed with words. Body language and visuals play are an important part of messaging.

​This Taoist/Daoist symbol represents complementary, interdependent energies: shadow and light, feminine and masculine, yielding and resisting, sound and silence. These are key principles behind communication and conflict resolution.

Adaptive Leadership, (AL), is a practical framework that helps individuals and organizations adapt and thrive in challenging environments. It is being able,  individually and collectively, to take on the gradual but meaningful process of change. It is about diagnosing the essential from the expendable and bringing about a real challenge to the status quo.

What it can do for you-
We use AL techniques to help you get to the heart of dysfunction and use conflict as a map to establishing long term solutions. As a graduate of Leadership Eastside's two-year academy, Lee will facilitate difficult, but essential conversations in order to create more positive communication.
