My work with Proteus was life-changing. My coach gave me challenging feedback that helped me refine my approach as a leader. It was not easy and involved rethinking my past. Today, I focus on never underestimating the importance of personal relationships, always take time for needed reflection and focusing most of my time helping others achieve their career best—all as a result of the work with Proteus.

In my five years of working with Proteus they have been a great partner. Their approach includes a robust set of tools and frameworks, a hands-on approach, and a commitment to developing a deep understanding of the key stakeholders around me – all of which have contributed to helping our teams and me be the best we can be. They consistently get what we’re trying to do and they support us to make our dreams a reality.

Over the last decade, I have come to trust Proteus as my “go-to” resource for strategic planning, leadership development and executive coaching. The Proteus approach in these areas is not only insightful and effective, it is actionable and impactful. Whether you are setting a strategic plan for the coming year, or developing the leadership qualities necessary to take on a larger role, Proteus understands the challenge and takes you on a personalized and enduring journey to success.

Our work with Proteus helps us see ourselves more clearly and then decide how to become the leaders, the team, and the organization we need to be.

When our business has faced destabilizing change and adversity, there has been no greater or more impactful resource than Proteus for team-building, mission-setting, leadership, and strategic decision-making. Their powerful mix of intelligence, perspective, common sense tools and depth of experience has served an invaluable role in helping get us back on the right path.

Calling Proteus was one of the first things I did after becoming the CEO of National Geographic channels. They worked with me and my team to craft a clear vision for a new future for our networks, and a plan for achieving it—while at the same time helping me transition into the CEO role. Working with Proteus is illuminating and strengthening; they always see and support the best in me.

Our many engagements with Proteus have always produced meaningful insights and actionable plans with lasting impact—helping both me personally and my organizations identify opportunities and challenges, refine focus and drive results.

When I was faced with integrating 3,000 employees after our merger, my first call was to Proteus, to help me and my senior management team create a vibrant, impactful and implementable vision for the future. We have realized our vision and three different cultures have become one. I’m thankful for all Erika and Proteus have done for us—I know we would not have gotten so far, so fast without them.
