Integrative Leadership Practices is a leadership and team development practice committed to helping leaders create healthy organizations – organizations that create products and services that are good for people, provide good places to work, are good neighbors local and globally, and produce sustainable bottom lines.

We specialize in working with leaders and their teams to host virtual and in-person meetings that energize those participating and generate trustworthy commitments to next steps.
