  • Third Factor is the best at what they do. The Self-Aware Leader program has had such a positive impact on our business, we've begun using the TAIS as part of our onboarding process for leaders and made it a key part of the way we do team building. We wouldn’t have the strength of leadership we do without Dane, Peggy, Cyndie and the entire team.

  • 3x4 Coaching is one of the best leadership development experiences I have seen. It is at the heart of large programs that we deliver in some of the world’s leading energy, banking, and manufacturing companies and we consistently get exceptional feedback. The model is practical, grounded in both research and practice – and when it’s brought to life by Third Factor’s world-class facilitators, the results are transformational.

  • Building Resilience was a huge success at our leadership summit. The combination of a practical resilience toolkit, a robust self-assessment, and a great mix of teaching and discussion created an atmosphere for everyone to reflect on their resilience challenges and opportunities, leaving with the skills needed to manage the pressure they face. It is a fantastic program.

  • 3x4 Coaching is instrumental in evolving our leaders’ (Mangers – Partners) roles from managing to developing people. We strive to embody a coaching culture that emphasizes personal growth and candid feedback, and that's exactly what this program delivers. Despite the time commitment required from our leaders, they unanimously say it’s well worth their while. Third Factor's approach seamlessly integrates with our unique and dynamic work environment, enhancing leadership effectiveness and fostering a more human connection.
