Navigate Your Path to Leadership Success

At Navigator Strategic Leadership Solutions, we guide first line leaders, professionals, and organizations through the wilderness of uncertainty to achieve strategic success. Like a trusted compass in uncharted terrain, we help you clarify goals, build confidence, and turn everyday leadership challenges into opportunities for growth.

Our approach is shaped by experience in high‑stakes environments, from international business to U.S. Army Special Forces. In those worlds, trust is built in moments through integrity, discretion, empathy, and results. We bring that same standard to the leaders and teams we support in healthcare and business settings.

Most leaders begin with the Navigator Pathway Program, a focused first step for first line leaders to identify and tackle real leadership and execution gaps in their teams. It gives you practical tools and guided support before you step into deeper coaching, certification, or team-wide initiatives.

From there, we offer tailored pathways for continued growth, including individual coaching, team programs, and leadership assessments such as:

• • 360° Feedback to gain insights from peers, subordinates, and leaders
  • Genos Emotional Intelligence Assessment to enhance self-awareness and team dynamics (certified by Genos International)
  • Profile XT for optimizing leadership fit and performance (certified administration)
  • Working Genius Assessment from Patrick Lencioni to align work with natural strengths

These tools and programs are designed to increase team cohesion, strengthen leadership confidence under pressure, and improve communication across silos.
