Org/About

Sounding Board Ink, LLC, is a coaching and consulting practice guided by Gretchen Pisano and supported by a network of extremely talented (and very cool) people world-wide.

What's the point of talent if it isn't fun to be around?

To lead effectively and enjoy the process we know that organizations need to have smarts, heart, ingenuity and the wherewithal to apply them thoughtfully. Our core competency is in simultaneously developing those strengths and talents at the individual and the organizational level. We have a suite of offerings, each integrated with the other, to leverage the best practices of strategic thinking with the evidence-based research of positive psychology to engage your people and mobilize your organization.

Although people like to attribute success, or lack thereof, to inanimate objects like systems, processes, infrastructure and strategic plans, the reality is that those things are merely massive static flywheels without human energy. Our job, our speciality and our passion is in co-creating the flywheel of positive change with you and then teaching you how to engage and mobilize your network to put their shoulder to wheel. This is leadership in the new normal.

You can count on the people of Sounding Board Ink to be experts in using the best verbal and visual techniques available to tap your potential. They have deep practice in their area, trust their instincts, enjoy looking to the future, and get their drive from helping you find yours.

"Within three weeks of our i2a strategic thinking session we have experienced the following successes: alignment around our mission statement within our organization and adoption of it by our sister company, use of common language to talk about our mission and core strategies at every level of the organization, and refinement of our performance goals to align every employee's work around the strategies - the train has left the station."
