SUCCESS STORIES

Worked with Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity that was frustrated with toxic leaders. After six months working on communication and trust in the team, relationships had improved without HR or CEO intervention. As a result, successful changes were implemented both in key technology and education processes with improved collaboration and results.

Tumlinson coached leaders in a large national association and 200 individual staff for employee engagement strategies, with the goal of peacefully merging two teams. Clarifying individuals’ strengths, they expanded give-and-take with senior managers, brought more voices to key decisions, and increased strategic collaboration to handle Board decisions.

Worked with a national association’s local chapter executives, clarified natural styles and learned how to work with differences, resulting in improved collaboration, with members and staff with different strengths. With improved communications, members focused on their own strategies, plus needed innovation in their industry, raising visibility and overall performance within the industry.

Coached executive team of an entrepreneurial company that focuses on customers’ experience with data. As it had grown from family-run to small business level, we worked with the top management level to develop organization-wide employee strategy, improving specific skills such as public speaking. Results: clarified employee structure and expectations, enhanced marketing efforts by effectively delegating, revised company vision and continued growth of market share, while maintaining an NPS score in the high 90s.
