Working Together

Brain-Built Coaching + Consulting

The mind is the one tool we use the most everyday. It is also the tool we know the least about. Incorporating a deeper understanding of neuroscience enables greater mastery in working with it.

Dose specializes in 1:1 coaching for business leaders, high-performance athletes, and humans looking to maximize their contribution. Whether you, your team, or your murder mystery party club are looking to increase your aptitude in leadership or neuroscience, we are here to help. Ready to work together?

For Leadership and Teams

Working together

We are committed to bringing a boutique approach to partnering with your organization in identifying and navigating your unique needs; while the scope and range of how we work together may vary, you can count on us to integrate our core expertise around neuroscience, coaching, and people + leadership development into everything we do.

Organizational Development + Learning Architecture

As the world of work evolves, one thing remains constant: engaging, leveraging, and developing the unique strengths and talents of your workforce is essential towards meeting your performance goals. Maybe you need to develop leadership capacity. Perhaps you need to increase the working capacity of your senior leadership team. Your organization has unique needs, and developing your talent is critical to meeting those needs. From a keynote or a one-off workshop to building out an organization-wide learning architecture, we are here to support you in doing it with a focus on the brain and leadership. If there is something to learn or develop, we will help you accomplish it with the brain in mind.

Brain-Built Strategy

The realm of strategic planning is filled with frameworks, processes, and technological tools that help but do not solve the challenges organizations face. We partner with organizations to distill their business strategies into something that is simple, doable, and performance-driven. Our Brain-Built approach supports leaders to view existing practices, tools, and organizational-needs through the lens of neuroscience. As coaches, we partner with you to understand your unique organization from the perspective of the human brain; the one tool all businesses rely upon to deliver results. We challenge your team to consider business strategy multidimensionally, with a focus on providing the clarity necessary to unlock the potential of the people delivering on the strategy.

Fractional Organizational Development

You need a strategic partner for your business; some days that is a veteran people leader, and other days that is a leadership coach; and then other days you need a subject matter expert around how to grow your business through a strong people strategy. But here is the thing: you do not need all of those, every day. Say hello to the Dose Retainer; access to all the brains and support at Dose, but only what you need, when you need it most. It has the benefits of an in-house Leadership, People, and Neuroscience expert without the constant mess of research papers, coffee mugs, and a full-time salary.

Brain-Built Organizational Design

The presence of change has been, and continues to be, a constant in the world of business; what has evolved, though, is the rate and dynamic nature of change within organizations. While the brain has pretty incredible abilities of reappraisal and heuristics that make navigating change possible, the cognitive load of change is something overlooked by most organizations. The need for organization planning, restructuring, and change management process is not declining; if anything, it will continue to scale more quickly than most leaders and teams are prepared to handle.

Theoretical principles in navigating organizational change are a good starting point, but the central challenge amidst any change is navigating the compression placed upon your team’s desire for certainty and cognitive load. Our Brain-Built approach will reveal efficiencies that allow you to bypass cognitive and capacity traps that can divert attention away from business and customer needs, while focusing on what matters: moving your organization forward into the future. Together we will enable you to optimize your team, and the systems within which they work, to unlock the best performance and results for your organization while building around a focal point of your business outcomes, customer experience, and employee engagement.

Development 360s

Organizations have leveraged 360 Feedback mechanisms for years, with varying degrees of success. Unfortunately, most 360’s go the same route as most assessments: the process kicks off, the brief with results are shared, and the brief is then filed away and never looked at again. Whether knowledge application or behaviour change occurs is up almost entirely to the resilience and ingenuity of the recipient.

At Dose, we see a 360 as less of a feedback mechanism, and more of a process that enables you to challenge your perspective. Your brain, on its own, is less effective than you might think at adopting new perspectives; the challenge lies in the format in which new perspectives are presented.

Our Development 360 process is built to support and challenge your perspective in a way that focuses on maximizing your best contributions, processing differing perspectives, and distilling things down into simple, actionable next steps. We leverage a 100% qualitative interview approach to provide a comprehensive Development 360 Brief through thematic analysis from the interviews. From there you are given space to debrief the findings, engage in coaching to help think about your thinking, and then key partners are brought in to support your development and to join the dialogue. What we know is that while your development is owned by you, your long-term success in developing requires a team of support. We also know that you need challenging perspectives to perform at your best, and we are here to deliver them in a way which generates insight and action.
