LA-Based Non-Profit: Foster Youth Programsand Services
Client Overview
The company is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization serving vulnerable youth populations. Following the sudden departure of their CEO and several other key staff, the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) faced organizational instability, disconnection, and a breakdown in communication and trust.
The Challenge
At the outset, the SLT was struggling with:
Fragmented communication across departments.
Lack of trust and transparency due to years of siloed leadership.
Defensive culture and high interpersonal tension.
Uncertainty about organizational vision and leadership direction. The organization sought to restore leadership confidence, rebuild internal cohesion, and foster an intentional culture of collaboration and trust.
Strategic Action Plan
Three Beats Consulting launched a tailored executive coaching and leadership development program, with a focus on three key pillars: Communication, Collaboration, and Trust.
Key components included:
Conscious Leadership Tools: Practical frameworks to foster self-awareness, effective communication, and accountability.
Team Roundtables: Open forums to process challenges, align on priorities, and deepen connection.
Executive Coaching: 30 one-on-one sessions with SLT members to address unique leadership goals and challenges.
Group Trainings: Three intensive half-day workshops to strengthen leadership cohesion and interpersonal dynamics.
Ongoing Support: Surveys, board presentations, and strategic alignment with interim leadership ensured continuity and momentum.
The Results
The transformation was deeply impactful and far-reaching:
Quantitative Success:
90% reported stronger decision-making and engagement.
96% cited improved communication and conflict resolution.
92% felt more confident and clear in leadership roles.
100% of the SLT expressed interest in continuing the program.

Clearer communication through shared language and frameworks.
Increased collaboration and cross-departmental synergy.

Leadership emerged from this experience reenergized, united, and better equipped to lead during periods of change.
Conclusion
Through immersive leadership development and a commitment to conscious communication, this company’s SLT transformed into a high-functioning, collaborative team grounded in trust. This engagement catalyzed cultural healing, strategic clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose—laying the groundwork for sustained impact and growth.
