The Liminal Zones:
California Couples Therapy
And Life's Sweet Spot
Liminal Spaces -- or spaces between are potent zones of opportunity. The interpersonal space between people offers the opportunity for fulfilling connection and deep understanding. The space between life stages offers the opportunity for making the transition an adventure to be lived, rather than a problem to be solved. These are the zones we are all about exploring


Stay Interviews:
It's a new world of competition for talent. And the best win is when you can keep the employees who have already shown they can be successful in their roles in your environment.
But not only are other employers poised to "poach" your employees right now, at the worst possible time, you are also vulnerable to employees' leaving due to avoidable causes in which they feel they have to choose between work and their own, and their families' health, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
Our solution not only stems the tide of the "Great Resignation," but also leaves your organization stronger in its ability to innovate collaboratively and continuously improve, by providing tools and skills that engage and empower at all levels. It strengthens team cohesiveness, enhances intrinsic motivation, and aligns managers with their teams.
Our Approach
Messaging
We collaborate with you to craft leadership message regarding the initiative which goes out immediately, and which may save some attrition in the shortest term.
Interview Questions
Customized, or use our standard protocol, depending on your needs and resources.
Interviewer Training
This is where our approach is different: We train your managers -- either live or video/asynchronous -- to conduct the Stay Interviews, and gather concerns and report-up. By having direct managers conduct the interviews, problems at the local level get solved there, and larger system problems are addressed by HR and Senior Management
Team Training on Solving Problems
We teach the Six Steps to Problem Solving so that teams become empowered and skilled at solving problems -- and realizing opportunities -- at the team level. According to your needs, the training can be live (more engaging) or video (asynchronous)
The Pareto Principle tells us that 80 percent of problems that cause people to want to leave are amenable to solving with minimal use of resources.
Tracking and Reporting
You can't improve what you don't measure.
Part of what differentiates our approach is that we provide a vehicle for tracking problems, initiatives, results, and impacts. This tool helps you:
-
Keep the enthusiasm going
-
Reinforce wins
-
Evaluate the ROI of this initiative
-
Identify "local" impactful changes that can be used system-wide
