I help leaders learn how to effectively use the weight of the authority they do have, and foster trust-based team environments where team members feel courageous and safe to contribute their best ideas, and challenge status quos and assumptions - so that we can do things today better than we did yesterday. Why it matters to me The world’s greatest problems require collaboration, period. Whether it’s mental health, climate change, diversity & inclusion challenges, we can only do it together. Great teams prioritize friction between ideas, not between people. High-performing teams move fast, not because they rush at all costs, but because they have managed mis-communication well, activated risk-taking, and made it safe to fail. https://www.alvinpilobello.com/method daily 0.75 2023-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fe3d1457901a30c6c5a9c1/d040c3f9-54bc-4e57-8be5-5352e3240072/Alvin_20191930.jpg My Methods - Individuals 1-on-1 Leadership Coaching: We work 1-on-1, where we explore how you approach problems, and stumble in relationship conflicts. I ask the hard questions, and offer skill-building opportunities only where needed. We’ll work on your leadership “range” -- to do what’s needed in the moment, not just what you’ve always done. You’re more than just a professional title, or limiting identity label. We figure out the full range of how you want to show up in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fe3d1457901a30c6c5a9c1/27f27103-22c5-45db-b7b8-f5c49341e92a/Alvin_20191676-retouched1.jpg My Methods - What I work with you on We focus your limited energy and time for: (1) what you can control, and (2) what you (may) have influence over. We create clarity and confidence on what to do, when you DON’T know what to do. What you can control: You. How you choose to see the situation. The choices that you make. That’s it. That means: Operating within your strengths. Knowing your patterns when exploring problems and navigating conflicts. Understanding the system that you’re in, to operate efficiently within it. What you can (try and) influence: The people you collaborate with, and the systems you are operating in - but only to a certain extent. That means: Influence: Bringing people along with you, including stakeholders that you need on board for your ideas. Clarity: Everyone’s clear on expectations, and secure commitment around the table. Innovation: Creating Safe-to-Fail conditions so that you activate risk-taking on groundbreaking initiatives. Accountability: In the end, results matter. Stay on track with your project and team purpose. Have the hard, challenging conversations, while building trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fe3d1457901a30c6c5a9c1/4732f8fa-ab8f-4443-9308-19270a42da72/Alvin_20191710-retouched.jpg My Methods - Team & Groups Team and Group Workshops: We’ll put in the “work” in my workshops. We uncover the communication skill and relationship trust gaps in your teams, and face the challenges in-session. We’ll make friends with discomfort, and do it together, like how a team should. 3-12 month Leadership Development Program & System: It’s not just a curriculum or linear program. I develop a system of communication tools and leadership mindsets with your team’s growth goals, and organizational strategy in mind. Invest the time for effective habits to kick in, and integrate into your team culture. Ideal for between 10-30 leader cohorts. Clients: Duke University’s 6-month WILD (Water Innovation & Leadership Development) Executive Education Program, Microsoft Canada’s Allyship skills initiative Conference and Team-Building Workshops: Ideal for groups between 15 and 150 people, I develop half- to full-day workshops as part of larger events or initiatives. Participants accelerate meaningful connections with each other, and take away skills that they can use right away, long after the event. Clients: Water Environment Federation Young Professionals Summit (130 leaders), OACETT Western Region Conference (60 technologists), Canada Post Panel on Male Allyship (50+ staff) https://www.alvinpilobello.com/impact daily 0.75 2023-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fe3d1457901a30c6c5a9c1/1646713193009-78EANUHWGWO37W72HS77/Untitled+design+%2821%29.png My Impact - Leadership Development: Team “It was a great workshop for people leaders who are busy and impatient. Your workshop introduced intuitive concepts and impactful conversation habits which focus on emotional safety. The most valuable and powerful habit I took away was turning “Why” questions into “What” questions. This workshop brought sharper focus on my own actions and just with that mindfulness I was able to get things done faster and produce higher quality results. Our ability to co-create meaningful conversations with our colleagues, leaders, followers, and clients is instrumental to fostering trust in relationships, fulfilling career choices, and impactful work projects. When we take the time to listen to someone, we can foster trust and influence with that person more effectively.” JK Global Head of Investment Risk at a Global Wealth and Asset Management Company https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fe3d1457901a30c6c5a9c1/fc9d2020-a687-4a41-903b-f66faa59c25f/_DSC3256-2.jpg My Impact - Leadership Development: Coaching “Alvin's work is incredibly powerful and authentic; throughout our relationship, he helped coach me through my own challenges I was facing not only at work, but outside of work too. The positive benefits of Alvin's questioning strengthened my abilities as a leader, leading to self-discovery vs. Alvin simply telling me his opinion, or, what he thinks I should do. His wisdom infused a way to strategically think and feel differently about all things life. One unexpected realization that came to light during our time spent together was how my family life was so vastly psychologically intertwined with my work life. I am forever grateful for the time and energy Alvin spent with me and I highly recommend anyone who is seeking a way to upgrade their mental software to work with Alvin. He is an elite personal trainer for your mind + soul.” Jason K.

Participants apply the skills in a safe space through carefully-curated realistic scenarios, to lower the barrier of using it in the real world where stakes are higher. The workshops also double as a great way to foster trust between individuals.
