MISSION
WithinVision, created by Anita E. Stauffer, Ph.D., is dedicated to empowering men and women to develop positions of leadership in their professional and personal lives, and to develop lives that are best for themselves and best for others.
Specialties include: Executive coaching, building high-performance teams, leadership and executive assessments, social and emotional intelligence, mindfulness education, change management, succession planning, career coaching, customized workplace educational seminars.
Our principles include:
Awareness is the primary element necessary for growth and development. WithinVision provides individual, group and team services that will:
· Increase the accuracy with which you see yourself and others.
· Clarify your understanding of how others see you.
· Analyze the dynamics of the systems you belong to so that there is understanding about how the past influences the
present and future.
· Review the core values and principles that link your work and life, your mission and operational objectives.
· Identify clear immediate, short-term and long-term goals that clearly define the growth and development necessary
to thrive in your professional life.
Attitude: Strength, courage, creativity, new skills and vision emerge best when work is built around natural gifts and strengths. A spirit of deliberate positivity and appreciation of the self, colleagues and important others brings a sense of energetic ownership, inspires others and paves the way for next steps.
Action is the essential next step. Observable change begins with rehearsal and practice. Action steps are a part of the process toward goals and because your situation is unique, the action plan must also be individualized. Methods can include:
· Behavioral and/or educational assignments.
· Customized accountability plans.
· Cognitive-behavioral approaches.
· Improvisational-experiential assignments and practice.
· Mindfulness-based practice that promotes presence, insight,
focus and concentration and the trust in the self necessary for
confident action.
Individual, group and team approaches are designed specifically to fit specific needs, values, time constraints, preferences and budgets.
COME AND EXPERIENCE:
Growth in Leadership.
"When the 75 members of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s Advisory council were asked to recommend the most important capability for leaders to develop, their answer was nearly unanimous: self-awareness. We all have the capacity to inspire and empower others. But we must first be willing to devote ourselves to our personal growth and development as leaders.”
George, Sims, McLean and Mayer. Harvard Business Review. February, 2007.
Better focus, better health.
"For decades, researchers at the National Institutes of Health, the University of Massachusetts, and the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Harvard University have sought to document how meditative approaches enhance the qualities companies need in their human capital: sharpened intuition, steely concentration, and plummeting stress levels."

A solid investment.
“Business coaching is attracting America’s top CEO’s because, put simply, business coaching works. In fact, when asked for a conservative estimate of monetary payoff from the coaching they got . . . managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies.”
Fortune Magazine.
“With a little more care, a little more courage, and, above all, a little more soul, our lives can be so easily discovered and celebrated in work, and not, as now, squandered and lost in its shadow.”
David Whyte. The Heart Aroused, Poetry and Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America.
