BONSAI shapes businesses and leaders for bearing their best fruit. We strive to help leaders and students achieve their fullest potential based on what makes them unique and where they are planted. BONSAI empowers others to live intentionally, making choices that elevate their performance, satisfaction, and impact on their organizations, community, and families. Within that foundation, we focus on leaders who want to build engaged workplaces. Studies show that workgroups with high employee engagement have: • 22% high profitability • 21% higher productivity • 10% higher customer ratings Just 32 percent of the U.S. workforce is actively engaged. BONSAI’s goal is to increase this amount. Our approach varies based on an organization's needs, and it often includes coaching — it proves to be the most cost-effective and expedient process for true transformation. Over a period of several months, we can significantly shift a leader’s perspective and approach to improve his performance, as well as his peers' and direct reports'. In addition to coaching leaders, BONSAI also delivers the following: • An increased level of collaboration in a research center • The transition of an entire organization from a traditional management style to one that is proactive and collaborative • The facilitation of executive and leadership retreats • The design and implementation of a first-of-its-kind program to prepare life science doctoral students for careers in their industry (We've seen a significant increase, specifically, in students' emotional intelligence and soft skills as well.) • Speaking to audiences on authenticity and valiant leadership
