The Stuck Place...We've All Be There
Somewhere between strategy meetings, shifting priorities, and endless PowerPoint decks, you realize you're stuck. The big ideas aren't turning into action. The same problems keep resurfacing. Change feels impossible. Sound familiar?
The stuck equation
Great ideas fail when priorities aren't clear
The problem isn't a lack of ideas. The problem is a lack of clarity. This lack of clarity leads to misaligned priorities, resulting in a lot of effort with nothing to show.
How do I know? Because I've been there too!
The Human Behind the Institute
Helping leaders find clarity, set priorities, and drive impactful outcomes
Hi, I'm Dani Chesson!
After working in global corporations across the USA and NZ, I grew frustrated with how organizations struggled to solve problems. Bold ideas were often tempered or watered down while familiar yet ineffective solutions prevailed. Then, we wondered why nothing was getting better. This frustration sparked my curiosity and set me off on a journey to find a better way. After ten years of researching and testing in the field, I've learned what works and what doesn't.
