Strategy Planning
The M Powered Strategies approach to strategic planning equips public-sector leaders with a practical framework to define direction, design strategy, and organize the work of change. We begin by clarifying strategic intent through discovery and stakeholder engagement to understand whether the organization needs to respond to external change or correct internal misalignment. In the design phase, we co-create a structured roadmap that defines the conditions required to achieve goals and the relationships among efforts. Planning sessions then translate those conditions into time-bound, interdependent projects with clearly assigned responsibilities. We embed governance practices that help leadership stay informed, evaluate progress, and adapt as needed. Unlike traditional strategic planning, which often results in static documents, our approach emphasizes an iterative, collaborative process that integrates strategy execution into the day-to-day rhythm of management.

Work Styles and Strengths
DiSC
DiSC is a personality assessment tool that helps individuals understand their behavior, communication, teamwork, and leadership styles in a work environment. It is based on the DiSC model, which categorizes behaviors into four primary personality trains: Dominance (D), Influence (i), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C).
MPS offers a three-hour interactive workshop that provides insights into the assessment and goes through examples of how this is used in workplaces to improve collaboration, enhance self-awareness, and develop effective interpersonal skills. Participants will have lifetime access to the Catalyst website where they can see their assessment as well as others within their group, explore how they can better work with each of their colleagues, and gain an even deeper insight into how their DiSC style affects their workplace behavior.
Clifton Strengths
Start with Talent – Finish with Strength. Grounded in the field of positive psychology, with an understanding that people are complex and not just labels from an assessment, Clifton Strengths is a way of building improved performance at work. Our greatest potential lies in areas where we are already talented. The gap is that we do not often identify and reflect on our talents. The Strengths assessment, our 4-hour workshops and individual coaching, help you find and express your dominant talents of a well-studied list of 34.
A tenant of Strengths is that people need people. Our workshops also engage teams for interpersonal development and to find opportunities to improve overall team interaction and productivity. Strengths are linked in four management domains: Executing, Relationship Building, Influencing, Strategic Thinking. With managers and teams, we look at the distribution of naturally occurring behaviors that the team has across domains, challenging thing on work performance, team output and improved mission focus. The team work builds the team’s capacity to understand each other and to find new ways of getting work done. We also use Strengths with managers specifically, to help them explore how they can find productive ways of helping their teams perform at their best.
Interpersonal Dynamics
EQ-i
The EQ-i assessment is a self-awareness tool that measures your engagement with 16 specifically defined elements of Emotional Intelligence. It is a reliable and valid instrument that compares participants’ responses with those of a normed group; offering valuable insight into each participant’s emotional competencies. Designed to promote individual engagement and interpretation, the assessment serves as a highly actionable tool for personal, professional, leadership, team, or organizational development.
Participants will be taken through an interactive workshop where they will gain a deeper understanding of each of the elements, engage in activities that explore strengths and weaknesses within the workplace, and explore peer coaching within small groups. Individuals will be able to create action plans for three elements they’d like to strengthen over time; leaving with a go-forward plan for each individual.
Agile EQ
Agile EQ combines personalized insights of DiSC with active emotional intelligence. This assessment focuses on the emotional and interpersonal needs of workplace interactions. In a three-hour workshop, participants will engage in activities and discussions that will uncover mindsets that shape natural responses and interactions. This assessment also empowers participants to stretch beyond their mindsets to meet the demands of any situation with agility.
The DiSC Agile EQ assessment builds off of the DiSC Workplace assessment. By taking the Agile EQ, you will gain access to the Catalyst website. This lifetime access offers a chance for further exploration into the modules MPS will take participants though during the workshop. MPS is happy to offer a discount for participants who have already taken the initial DiSC Assessment via Cataly.
Conflict Management
Productive management hinges on strong conflict management skills. Unmanaged conflict represents one of the most significant avoidable costs organizations encounter, yet effective conflict management skills are frequently lacking or inadequate. Reflexive reactions—such as fight, flight, or freeze—typically dominate responses to conflict, undermining both organizational culture and productivity while exposing the organization to unnecessary risks. The good news is that mastering effective conflict management skills is entirely achievable!
We delve into three perspectives: self-awareness, relationship and interactions, and contextual awareness for enhanced professional conduct. Additionally, we offer Conflict Coaching to equip individuals with the necessary skills to navigate and manage conflicts more adeptly. The MPS conflict management training emphasizes self-awareness and developing positive interpersonal dynamics within the workplace. This transformative approach mitigates conflicts and also enhances resilience, reduces stress, boosts morale, and promotes more effective communication and collaboration.
