How Organizations have ReSouled Their Leadership

The Challenge

GitHub was seeing a clear signal from their engineering team. These managers shape the conditions in which some of the world's most talented engineers do their best work. But leadership approaches were inconsistent and communication was affecting performance. In an environment that has historically prioritized technical skill over people skill, managers were directly asking for support.

The Soulution

We created a Cohort-Based Leadership Training Program anchored in GitHub's own leadership philosophy to rebuild from inside their culture instead of importing a framework. The program was designed to hold both technical and human-centric needs simultaneously.

• We combined microlearning, facilitated discussions and scenario-based practice. Each session included pre-work, self-assessments and post-session integration prompts so that learning didn't stop when the session ended.
• The program also included a centralized Hub page for recordings, resources, and sign-ups. This was further infused into participants’ daily rhythms through coaching pods and Slack communities.
• Launched during GitHub's internal Day of Learning, the program ran multiple 90-minute sessions with rotating cohorts to reach as many managers as possible.

The Shift

GitHub experienced tremendous impact with ripples throughout the organization. Participants reported increased confidence in leading their teams and handling critical conversations. GitHub extended the model into a global initiative and built a roadmap for future course development and expansion.

The Challenge

The University of the Pacific's Cabinet of leaders was managing complex departments spanning student life, finance, marketing and more, each with distinct budgets, priorities and operational realities. I knew we needed to focus on alignment between these departments instead of enforcing uniformity. But how do you build a shared culture and leadership identity across a group whose realities look nothing alike?

The Soulution

We designed and delivered a year-long Culture and Leadership Program that nurtures self-leadership and organizational leadership. The program was modular and scalable by design, with live in-person workshops as well as flexible online learning. The bi-weekly sessions, peer-led discussions and individually tailored exercises strengthened team dynamics and shaped a purpose-driven culture.

The Shift

The Cabinet emerged with a unified culture grounded in shared values. Leadership behavior changed with measurable impact:

• Cross-departmental collaboration went from a point of friction to a point of strength
• Built culture throughout the University through ripple effects

The Challenge

The Benefits Group operates in one of the most demanding environments in healthcare. The organization was carrying the weight of staffing home healthcare services while being decentralized. There was an unnamed feeling throughout the organization that was revealed through stakeholder interviews and internal assessments. They were facing leadership burnout, siloed communication and a lack of cohesion intensified by geographic distance. In ReSoul terms, they were not aligned.

The Soulution

We designed a hybrid coaching and leadership development experience tailored specifically for healthcare directors and managers. This audience was accustomed to caring for others and rarely given their own leadership care.

• The program included 12 sessions of individual coaching per participant focusing on emotional intelligence, strategic leadership and personal growth
• Running alongside that was a group coaching track : Mastering Your Leadership Mindset. This consisted of 8 bi-weekly interactive sessions built around self-awareness, leadership driven by values, communication and collaboration
• Custom modules including Discovering Your Facets and Purpose, Values & Strengths created a common language across departments

This was delivered over 18 months through live sessions and asynchronous resources.

The Shift

The Benefits Group experienced a significant transformation in retention, communication quality, leadership satisfaction and cultural impact. Directors began operating from alignment instead of isolation, and the program was so successful that it is now expanding to frontline staff.
