The Disruptive Element

WOSB and privately held, The Disruptive Element TM (TDE) is located in St. Paul, Minnesota. Our perspective is that current methods for developing people, leaders and teams fall short of achieving their intended results. Our passion is helping to ground people, leaders and teams in a new level of self-awareness and then through individual or group coaching experiences enhance their ability to see what is possible. Our framework and methods are practical, relevant and directly applicable to each participant/organization. Our foundation is based on the critical leadership competencies necessary in today's constantly changing, challenging world. Our focus is working with people around the world to increase their awareness of how their thoughts (the way they see themselves and/or the way they are seen by others) result in their actions and behavior. Our impact is to be disruptive in ways that give you pause, that encourage you to examine how you see yourself, and past results. We then help you integrate these new insights and apply them practically to drive future success. TDE service offerings are structured in four categories: 1. Organization Development Services (Organization Assessments, Recommendations and Solution Implementation) 2. Discovery Programs™ (Leadership/Personality Assessments and Coaching) 3. Leadership Series Programs (Individual, Small Group, and Team Development) 4. Cohort Programs (Extended Leadership and Team Development Programs)
