OUR WORK ON YOUR TIME
TAKE THE SPARK HOME WITH YOU
Elaine and Lindsay welcome the challenges of complexity, where emotions are running high, and where polarization is getting in the way of progress. Instead of being overwhelmed by these challenges, they bring a calm confidence. The confidence is not only in themselves but in the people and organizations with whom they are working. Simply put, they know their stuff and they care.

Special Guest on Lead & Follow Podcast
Available wherever you listen.
Lindsay Burr shares the tools of Polarity ThinkingTM as a way to understand, identify, and refine leadership and followership dynamics in any group or organization.
​
“When we think of leadership and followership as two positives that work together, you get so much more richness.”
​
“There are times when a leader will hold one pole, and the followers will hold another pole.”
​
“As soon as it’s a “but” or an “either/or,” then it sets up a conflict. As long as everyone knows it’s both/and, then you can figure out how much you need of each one for success.”
​
“If you have something you’ve overdone, when you find the other side of the pole, then you know how to right yourself.”
