Mattering Matters When….
​
...Helping People and Organizations Manage Transitions.
​
Industries are transforming. To successfully navigate these transitions, we must prioritize people and relationships by nurturing trust, inclusion, and emotional agility. With intention and attention to people, leaders can create flourishing communities where people, projects, and bottom lines thrive.
Capella speaks, coaches, and assesses leaders to stronger interpersonal connections through Relational Appreciative Dynamics (RAD). RAD is a social approach that establishes enhanced positive interaction through trust, mattering, and emotional agility.
​
...Coaching Leaders
What makes a good leader? At our best, we are enablers. Optimizers. Relationship curators. We build teams that value, trust, and respect each other.
Unfortunately, these skills are not always instinctual and are rarely formally taught. RAD (Relational Appreciative Dynamics) is a system developed to coach leaders using empirically-based methods for creating environments where everyone in the organization - transient or permanent - can thrive and flourish.

Audiences will walk away inspired with actionable steps to making work and home much more fun!!
When Is Now

Capella shares the best insights & lessons from my highly-rated season 1 podcast guests. From filmmakers, former NFL players, researchers, studio film directors, and other industry leaders. This discussion focuses on living and acknowledging your current strengths and capacities. We often think we will be ‘better,’ more prepared tomorrow, while research suggests we are much more constant than we understand. Our ability to make an impact is available to us NOW, not ‘when …’ This discussion leaves audiences feeling energized, empowered, and realizing that When is always NOW.

The Obvious Stuff
It can take an outsider to see what insiders miss: the obvious stuff! I'll share how I became a movie producer, without ever attending film school. In the beginning, being an outsider led to some very humorous experiences and one that almost landed me in jail. But one thing saved me and that has remained my key to life. In this talk, I share 10 things that don’t cost a penny, require no experience or education, and can get you to a successful life.

Let's work it out
Assessments and Workshops
To be a great leader, you should understand who you're leading. These assessments take little time and can be administered to permanent and transient organizations. The ROI from these assessments can exponentially lead to better communication, reduced tension, and deeper commitment to the project. Capella administers the following assessments combined with individual or group coaching, evaluations, and/or workshops that strengthen leaders and teams.
