Our Vision

We believe that work can be a place where individual strengths are valued and encouraged, where leaders coach and inspire, and where employees choose to engage with their hearts and minds…

We want to make better workplaces for our children. We want to create leaders who value and respect their employees, who choose curiosity over judgment, and who see the best in their teams and inspire them to bring that best to everything they do.

Our Values

BE AUTHENTIC

This is our most fundamental value. We are honest and open with each other and our clients. We have a deep and unwavering commitment to being our authentic selves at work and sharing this authentic experience with our clients.

ADD VALUE (MAKE A DIFFERENCE) 

We only do work that will make a difference for our clients.  
We are intentional about adding value in every interaction.

LEARN ALWAYS

Like our clients, we value learning and are committed to continual personal and professional development. 

LAUGH A LOT

We are passionate about this work. We love helping our clients, and we have a good time doing it. We laugh a lot at work – it is an expression of our truest selves, in service of others. 

BE PROFITABLE

We are capitalists. We offer an exceptional service at the highest level of quality in our field, and we wish to fairly profit for this contribution.

We are Collaborative

You know your team and your environment better than we do, and our solutions have to fit your organization’s culture, people, and current challenges. We will collaborate with you throughout the entire process from Discovery to Evaluation.

We Discover

At DCL, we ask big questions. Really big questions. Then we listen, and we ask more questions. The strongest organization development initiatives start with an understanding of the system. 

● What is working? What isn’t working?

● Where are the challenges?

● What are the unspoken truths? 

● What assumptions do people make about your leadership, about the organization, or about what it takes to succeed?  

We bring an open and judgment-free perspective which allows us to see exactly where we should focus our energies. Using available data and the power of insight and listening, we identify where best to influence change in your culture, your team’s behaviours, and your structure.  

We Design

We have over a decade of experience designing custom interventions to support leadership, engage teams and create great workplaces.

We have facilitated over 1000 workshops ranging from half-day meetings to 12-day cohort based programs. We have worked with teams as small as two and as large as 2000. We are certified in the most progressive methodologies, tools, and assessments to support our clients. 

We Deliver

Our people are world-class facilitators and educators. They are easy to work with, and driven by a passion for this work and an insatiable drive to deliver value for our clients.

We have worked with billion-dollar private and non profit organizations. We have the ability to speak your language, and create an environment of challenge, value-creation and possibility. Clients rave about our ability to respond to their needs in the moment, while maintaining the necessary structure to achieve objectives.
