Carey Baker and Carlo Bos, co-CEOs of CTI, discuss the Co-Active relationship and completeness, as well as leadership potential in legacy, strategy, and equality.

Legacy Strategy Equity

Leadership means learning and growing yourself and the system over time. As leaders, you form a vision, share it, and take bold action to shift direction.

2021 brutally tested our humanity. Yet, we survived. We must do more than survive moving forward. We must learn from the past and look forward with optimism.

Be With

CTI's Training stresses "be with," observing the present through word, metaphor, sound, movement. Make all elements of life personal – even unpleasant ones.

As Co-Active leaders, we co-create our reality with others and our environment daily. We must participate fully in all interactions, not just with ourselves.

Because it is so often an under-appreciated extension of our presence, the language that we use carries with it an instant and profound influence.

Moving Beyond Polarization

Curiosity is a powerful tool in helping bridge differences in viewpoints and perspectives. These aspects of humanity strengthen connections and interactions.

CTI Leadership emphasizes language possibilities. The Co-Active model believes people have innate capacities for creativity, resourcefulness, and wholeness.

Leadership has become a corporate buzzword. But leadership has no recipe: no perfect thing to say, no right way to act. Still, CTI believes everyone can lead.

Co-Active Leadership training helps coaches recognize how people prefer to be seen and valued in their own right, instead of being corrected or criticized.

Trump in the Front?

Leading from the front entails creating a vision that others may emulate. Everyone, no matter how big or small, has the ability to take the initiative and lead.

"Co-Active" means there's no ONE right way. Everyone's problems can't be solved. Our opinions vary. We share our ideas if the process is open and inclusive.

Everyone knows someone related to someone else they know. We can't compartmentalize our lives and keep our heads down because the world affects all of us.
