The future is now, and we are the ones we’ve been waiting for… 

Build the capacity to move boldly.

Build the coherence to move together.

Your organization knows where it wants to go. However, a bold vision can lose momentum when decisions stall, teams work across silos and leaders are expected to navigate change using yesterday’s playbook.

SWAG & S.O.U.L. helps close the distance between what executives envision and what the organization can deliver. We develop leaders through the real priorities, decisions and tensions shaping your next chapter—so your people can adapt faster, act with greater confidence and move in the same direction.

W.I.D.E. Framework

The Vision-Velocity Gap

As AI accelerates the pace of change, leaders must do more than keep up. They need the capacity to make decisions amid uncertainty, rethink how work gets done and bring the organization with them.

Our work brings executive strategy and leadership development together. By combining entrepreneurial thinking with human-centered development, we help leaders make consequential decisions, navigate complexity and build the conditions for coordinated execution.

Where are you
in your strategic planning journey?

We are leading through change and need our executives ready for what comes next.

We have a bold vision, but our leaders need greater alignment to deliver it.

Align Your Leaders Around What Matters Most

How we can support executive teams:

Work with your leadership team to turn strategic ambition into a clear course of action:

  • Clarify the priorities, decisions and tradeoffs that will move your organization’s vision forward.
  • Translate strategic direction into shared ownership and a practical path for aligned action.

Get clear on existing realities and what is required for future success:

  • Identify the leadership capabilities and organizational conditions your next chapter requires.
  • Assess gaps between your current state and future goals to focus investment where it matters most.

Make time away from daily operations count by using it to co-create lasting solutions that will:

  • Bring executive teams together to work through consequential decisions and competing priorities.
  • Turn candid, guided dialogue into cohesive commitments and momentum beyond the retreat.

Client Testimonials

Thank you both so very much for the summary.  You could tell you listened to every word shared by the group and did a great job highlighting.  I enjoyed how you framed everything (i.e., GO)2, Head, Heart, Hands) – helps put things into deeper perspective and is more relatable/easier to retain and create action from.

Client Testimonials

I value W.I.D.E. Dynamic Dialogues being a safe place to explore complex questions along my own journey. The partnership made me a more informed, aware, and better leader and person. For companies, executives and individuals seeking to make progress and change in this area, they are a powerful partner that delivers their expertise in a relatable way to all levels of an organization.
Michael Trimarchi, CFOCommerceHub
Both are incredibly engaging and captivating facilitators with great judgment on how to message and deliver knowledge and wisdom in a way that’s easy for the audience to consume…I would strongly endorse and recommend other organizations looking for thought partnership, counsel, and content to work with Anniedi and Christina without hesitation.
Sumera Hassan, Senior Vice President, Global Head of HRFactor Law
They left us with a framework to really focus on our strategic goals so that what was discussed at the retreat isn’t just put in a drawer and not looked at again, but instead pushes us forward. They really helped to bridge the gap that can occur between the Board and management visions for the organization. It invigorated our Board members, and I am already beginning to see the benefits that this retreat had on our Board and management Team.
Beth E. Cary, President of the Board of DirectorsTrinity Alliance of the Capital Region, Inc.
Anniedi and Christina captivated, informed, and challenged participants as we worked on practical ways to create a more inclusive environment on nonprofit boards....We gained a renewed vision for all the benefits...We left the session feeling encouraged and supported no matter where we found ourselves on the W.I.D.E. journey.
John Eberle, CEOCommunity Foundation for the Greater Capital Region
Their framework is unique and takes a collaborative innovative approach. Their passion comes through in everything they do, and their strategy produces results. They put people first - that is what stands out most to me.
Jalinda Franke, Senior DirectorPeople and Culture
Their approach was warm and engaging, and allowed us to brainstorm and build upon what we had to envision what future initiatives could look like...We felt not only inspired but empowered to create a better system going forward.
Sandra Goldmeer, Area DirectorMental Health Nonprofit
This was by far the most clear, actionable and thought provoking workshop for me..my eyes were opened to some struggles that I frankly should have realized, giving me a few ah-ha moments..
VPEnterprise Legal Services
The session helped me reflect on my own awareness....It also reinforced the importance of seeing people as individuals rather than as stereotypes, to ensure inclusivity at every step of an employee life cycle.
ManagerTalent Partnerships
We whole-heartedly and fully recommend Christina and Anniedi for future engagements, around W.I.D.E. topics. The framework they have created, allows both individuals and organizations, at any phase of their development journey, to reflect on tangible and meaningful ways to be better, stronger and more inclusive in their efforts and outcomes. They are passionate and purposeful professionals, whom we are fortunate to be in partnership with.
