It was founded on a single belief: that the gap between executive strategy and organizational execution is not a strategy problem. It is a leadership problem. And leadership problems have solutions.
We diagnose your organization before we design anything, and we stay until the change holds. Large firms scale by delivering the same curriculum everywhere. We build each engagement for one client, facilitated by the person you hired, and we measure success by what changes after we leave rather than by satisfaction scores.
No. The S.P.A.R.K. Assessment is one way we learn your business, and some engagements begin there. Others begin with interviews, working sessions, or time in the room with your team. We choose the first move based on what your organization needs.
We work best with organizations of roughly 200 to 5000 people that have real leadership layers, typically Directors to VPs translating strategy into execution. We serve clients across (but not limited to) financial services, technology, professional services, manufacturing, PE and commercial real estate across North America & the UK.
It ranges from a single Executive Day to a multi-month cohort program to a multi-year partnership. The S.P.A.R.K. Leadership Program usually runs as several cohort sessions over a few months. We scope length in the discovery conversation, based on what you’re solving for.
We measure what shifts inside your organization after we leave, faster decisions, talent retention, and conversations that stop escalating. We agree on the markers that matter to your business up front and review them together, rather than relying on attendance or happy-sheet scores.
Program fees for the S.P.A.R.K. Leadership Program range from $4,500 to $10,000 per person plus HST, depending on cohort size, format, and engagement length. We’ll give you a precise figure once we understand the scope.

Kendra’s podcast, where the real conversations about leading people get had out loud.
In this candid interview, Kendra shares the mindset behind building The Venned Group, including what it took to step into new leadership environments, face the fear of visibility, and develop the consistency that drives long-term business and personal growth.
Kendra sits down with Susan Hobson and Rob Kalwarowsky to tackle two of the most overlooked conversations in leadership, the right way to use feedback at work, and why soft skills are the most under-invested capability in most organizations today. Drawing from her book Using the F-Word at Work, Kendra shares the frameworks she uses with executive teams across North America.
Kendra joined host Amanda Schneider to discuss the evolving importance of soft skills in today’s hybrid workplace. The conversation covers how organizations are navigating dispersed teams and intergenerational differences, and why communication, empathy, and adaptability are no longer optional capabilities for managers and leaders.
One of our most useful frameworks, free, no strings. The kind of thing you’ll keep open in a tab.
