We help companies retain, engage and develop their talent

Employee experience that builds engagement, connection and results. Leadership development that builds capability, confidence and behavior change.

Your people are the point

In a world full of change and uncertainty, great products and services are table stakes. Your people are your secret sauce. Their agility, creativity, resilience, commitment to excellence, their willingness to test and learn…these are the keys to organizational success and customer delight.

At Lead Above Noise, we craft experiences that bring out the very best of your employees and leaders. No drop of potential is left unsqueezed.

A fresh approach to familiar challenges

Your annual employee engagement survey gives you data. It tells you how you did last year. It’s a hindsight assessment. It’s static. Our approach to the employee experience is forward-looking. We begin with your data, but our expertise is in tapping into your organizational wisdom and intuition. Learn about our approach.

You’ve built and delivered leadership development programs that have been…interesting. People showed up, they learned some things and ultimately nothing changed. But we do it differently. Sure, we believe in interesting. But what we really believe in is inspiring and empowering action. Our approach to leadership development changes your organization for the better. Learn about our approach.
