Form the Leader.
Build the Organization.
We work with executives and growing organizations to eliminate the hidden barriers to leadership performance, building systems that sustain results.
More Than a Coach.
More Than a Consultant.
Most leadership advice offers surface-level answers to deep organizational problems. A workshop here. A coaching package there. And results that rarely outlast the engagement.
Awaken Leadership Solutions operates differently. Every engagement begins with rigorous discovery, because the presenting problem is rarely the real problem. Dr. Einfeld's training in adult development, organizational science, and behavioral psychology gives him the ability to identify root causes and design customized interventions that actually move the needle.
This isn't generic professional development. It's high-caliber, research-based expertise applied to your specific situation.
Three Areas of Focus.
One Integrated Approach.
Awaken Leadership Solutions works at the intersection of three interconnected challenges every growing organization faces.
Leadership Formation & Talent Systems
Leaders aren't born ready. They're formed. We help organizations build the complete, ongoing talent systems (and do the deeper formation work) that expand leadership capacity at every level.
Strategy Execution
Most strategic plans never fully come to life. Awaken helps organizations move from strategic clarity to aligned, coordinated execution – so the strategy on the whiteboard becomes the reality in the market.
Change Management
Most change initiatives fail due to misunderstood human factors rather than poor strategy. Awaken brings insight from behavioral psychology and organizational science to help organizations navigate transitions that stick.
Every engagement is customized, but here's where most clients start:
Executive Coaching
Team Coaching
Talent Systems and Strategy Development
Executive Team Strategic Offsite
Workshops & Retreats
How We Work Together
Rooted in Research.
Built for Results.
Dr. Einfeld spent two decades leading teams through organizational change in his higher education leadership roles. He's also a trained researcher with a PhD from Michigan State University in Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education. He has spent decades studying how adults develop, how organizations change, and how leaders are actually formed.
That background shapes everything: the discovery process, the tools used, and the interventions designed. The result is a level of insight that goes well beyond what conventional coaching or consulting can offer.
