How We Help

Leadership Development

We help leaders make clear decisions, communicate more effectively, and stay grounded under pressure.

Team Effectiveness

We help teams understand their unseen differences so they can work together effectively with less friction.

Communication & Conflict

We help teams communicate with clarity so they can move past recurring misunderstandings.

Stress & Change

We help leaders and teams stay clear and effective during stress and transitions.

A Personality Assessment Is Only the Starting Point

Turn insight into action. We uncover what’s happening in your team and identify what to do next.

  • When a new leader steps in, we map how they make decisions and work with others so expectations are crystal clear.
  • When communication breaks down, we give people shared language for the moment so they can say the right thing without setting each other off.
  • When stress, uncertainty, or change hits, we surface blind spots and hidden habits that can quietly undermine the team, so people know what to do next.

Ways We Work With Organizations

Executive Coaching & Leadership Transitions

One-to-one or small-group coaching for executives, founders, principals, and senior leaders navigating greater responsibility, difficult decisions, leadership transitions, or periods of uncertainty.

We help leaders understand how they make decisions, communicate, influence others, respond under pressure, and work with the people around them.

Team Audits & Organizational Transitions

Get a clearer picture of the people system before deciding what needs to change.

We map the strengths, blind spots, missing perspectives, communication patterns, and personality dynamics inside a team or organization so leadership can see what is happening and identify what to do next.

Especially useful during growth, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, succession planning, leadership transitions, or recurring team friction.

Team Mapping, Communication & Development

For deeper team work, we combine personality profiling with facilitated team development.

Engagements may include individual profiling, team mapping, communication and decision-making exercises, stress and self-regulation work, and follow-up leadership consultation.

Available as focused half-day or full-day sessions, multi-day programs, or longer-term organizational support.

Joel Mark Witt + Antonia Dodge

Since 2010, Joel Mark Witt and Antonia Dodge have worked with Fortune 100 companies, leaders, startups, nonprofits, and cross-functional teams to apply personality psychology to real-world challenges in leadership, communication, team dynamics, assessment design, and organizational development.

One of the first companies Joel and Antonia worked with was Zappos, globally known for its company culture and for helping other organizations shape their own. Their work with the Zappos Insights team focused on personality, team dynamics, and strengthening the human side of company culture.

This also included direct coaching and consulting with Tony Hsieh, then CEO of Zappos and one of the most recognized voices in the business world on company culture.

During that period, Antonia was also quoted in The New York Times profile of Hsieh, “Why Is the Head of Zappos Smiling?”

Their work has included:

  • Executive coaching during leadership transitions, including stepping into new roles, taking on greater responsibility, and navigating uncertainty about what the next level of leadership requires
  • Helping leaders work through overwhelm, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome as expectations increase and old ways of operating stop working
  • Coaching founders, nonprofit CEOs, and senior executives inside large organizations around decision-making, communication, leadership style, and performance under pressure
  • Consulting with leadership teams, startups, and research and development groups around team dynamics, missing perspectives, communication friction, and change
  • Helping organizations develop personality-based assessments and profiling tools for specific business and customer applications
  • Building internal capability by training teams, coaches, facilitators, and organizational leaders to understand and apply personality tools themselves

Our goal is to give people a useful language for understanding themselves and each other, then help them put that understanding into action.
