Effectiveness

 

Six degrees of separation is a theory that everyone is six steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of  “a friend of a friend” introductions can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps.  Some call it shrinking world or small world dynamics. This birthed LinkedIn and Facebook.

 

The theory of 6° of separation exists but our firm effectively exists by applying and leveraging only 2° of relationships through the right connections.  It’s not about a connection, but a connected relational network to accelerate business and optimize results more efficiently.

 

Sweeping changes are not necessary for most organizations or individuals, just small course adjustments and focused efforts applied in the proper areas.  People hire tutors, trainers, teachers and therapists…all to improve a weakness in an area of life. Successful athletes hire coaches to achieve greater results…often measured in seconds or minutes, inches or yards, points or averages.  Top business executives hire consultants to achieve measureable results and performance in a competitive market.

 

From straight-A students, star athletes and serial entrepreneurs, to successful CEO’s, they understand and value what going to the next degree with a coach or advisor means.  Others will go the nth degree without one but never succeed.  Many people and businesses are either ‘lukewarm’ or being ‘slow-boiled’ by their fears, competition or the status quo.  They settle for average or get in such ‘hot water’ but nowhere near 211°  to be in prime position for change … from 211° – 212° – 213°!

213° comes in as a ‘tip of the spear’ to assess and address issues, then brings in other key advisors as necessary through our referral–based network of industry experts.  We focus on key indicators:

 

Sight • Hindsight • Insight • Foresight • Business Past • Business Present • Business Future • Leadership • Stewardship • Fellowship • Mentorship Execution

 

We can access McKinsey, Deloitte, Accenture and Bain caliber expertise and industry excellence, and C-suite executives at the speed of relationship…individuals that are qualified, responsive and accountable, at considerable discounts not available to most businesses.
Our ability to leverage a powerful relational network allows us to address needs, add value and accelerate business which translates to increased market share, shareholder value, valuation, profit margin, process and organizational efficiencies, as well as branding, co-branding, alliances and more.

 

Great leaders have learned that, only when you step away from the daily details, functions and operations of the organization, can you see what’s really evident, possible and attainable.
213° believes and has experienced that this is enhanced with the introduction of a Trusted Advisor whose objective is to listen with interest, facilitate collaborative conversations, ask defining questions and then explore and provide strategic options.

Ethics

 

A Trusted Advisor is really a ‘business confidant’ who values relational trust above transaction or personal gain.  They are other-centric versus ego-centric in their philosophy and approach.

 

A True Advisor possesses vision, provides direction, offers counsel and knows when to be quiet or discern the proper timing to challenge an idea.  They lead with trust, remain accountable and recommend value-added solutions a leader can execute.

 

At 213°, we adhere to the highest standards based on enduring principles. We expect our clients to hold us accountable to these moorings and inform us when one of our referral partners has compromised them.
