I work with executive and senior leaders, both in-house and as a consultant. My experience, and that of my peer executives, is that with the volume of work, of meetings, and of change, it can be difficult to find a space to listen to yourself. Despite the daily whirlwind, we need to protect time to focus upon strategic priorities, actions and developing key relationships. 

 

What is Endeavor Mentorship?

This is strategic mentorship, and has the blended elements of mentoring, coaching, and targeted concierge on the topics that are important to you.  If you are the CFO and you are working on a specific strategic leadership plan for your leaders and you’d like the most current thinking (podcasts, books, articles, speakers, organizations) on that topic – I provide you with the high level research summary to support your strategic plan inputs/outcomes.  I also am glad to share frameworks that I’ve used to support your business cases and planning, and/or also glad to work with you using the tools that your organization/leadership team uses.

This is a place to carve out specific focused time to assess where your organization, department and team are, where they’ve been, and where they are going. And, this time is specifically for you to reflect upon your part in that journey.  This is a way to calibrate, celebrate and focus on future thinking. It’s a place to identify and work through politics and find ways of making stronger connections with others. It’s a space to work/walk through the conversations that you want to have with your boss, your board, your peers, and your team.  It’s a space to continue to build your leadership capabilities and identify ways to champion and develop your people.

Who is Endeavor Mentorship for?

Strategic mentorship is for leaders who are at an inflection point in their career – looking to be promoted, ready to be promoted or who are in a key role in the organization – whether they are CEO, C-Suite or Senior Leadership.

I would highly recommend Maile 

“Whether it be working with the formation of a new IT leadership team, pushing an established Regional Director team to new levels, or aligning a large group of Executives from across the country to a common strategic plan, Maile shines.  He outgoing personality allows her to establish a quick connection with the participants while her incredible perception and keen awareness of personal dynamics allow her to hone in swiftly on the needs of the organization.  I would highly recommend Maile as a facilitator for aligning and addressing complex organizational issues.”

Why hire me?

I’ve faced big challenges and problems to solve – in both small to mid-size start ups designing and building the company’s leadership, policies, processes for a global footprint. I’ve also brought together 4000 leased employees from two different organizations to stand up an entirely new company. I’ve taken an enterprise platform in a Fortune 100 company from break/fix to increase usability and support business results. I’ve worked with nonprofit and for-profit boards.

I’ve looked at what appeared insurmountable and had to be intrepid in figuring how to get the strategy and execution in place, while also getting the team on board and working under time deadlines that absolutely had to be met. I have deep expertise in organizational development and effectiveness, along with strong business acumen. I am a pragmatist and a champion. I bring my deep curiosity to hold space for the questions of “How might we?” and “What if?” – to support you in moving really big things forward.

…unique combination of intellectual, interpersonal, and emotional intelligence skills… 

Rarely in my career have I met someone who brings the unique combination of intellectual, interpersonal, and emotional intelligence skills that Maile Topliff brings to her consulting practice.  Her insight and her commitment to deliver high value to her clients, coupled with her integrity and incredible work ethic earns her a place as a truly gifted Business Consultant.  Maile’s strong business acumen allows her to work well with C-Suite clients, at the top of the organization, as well as leaders throughout the organization.”
