Culture That Performs with POWER.

We help teams and leaders communicate better, decide faster, and lead with intention so performance becomes predictable — not accidental.

We build cultures that perform consistently, sustainably, and measurably.

 

PowerHouse Professionals helps organizations strengthen the human side of performance so teams move faster, leaders lead better, and cultures scale the way the business needs.

​

The POWER Framework™ helps teams communicate clearly, show up consistently, and trust each other deeply—creating the human conditions that make high performance possible.

The 5 Human Dimensions That Drive Performance

​A proprietary framework that turns intangible qualities into measurable behaviors.

​​​Presence – Clear communication, attention, and alignment

 

Ownership – Accountability, follow-through, leadership without title

 

Worth – Psychological safety, inclusion, belonging, trust

 

Execution – Decision velocity, focus, delivery consistency

 

Resilience – Healthy conflict, adaptability, recovery​

This becomes your team’s shared operating language,

exactly how high-performing teams move.

"Erika’s expertise and the connection between leadership and high performance helped our team achieve our 12-month goals in just six months"

Stacy Kirk, CEO Quality Works

Translate Culture Into a

Competitive Advantage

We use immersive learning, behavioral diagnostics, and measurable scorecards to ensure performance sticks.

Communication that improves speed, not slows it

Leaders who actually lead (and follow through)

Teams that collaborate without emotional friction

Decisions made faster, cleaner, and with clarity

Psychological safety that increases (not lowers) standards

Culture that supports performance instead of sabotaging it

Colleagues Working Together

Most team and leadereship programs die after the workshop

How POWER Works

The ACE Method

The POWER Framework comes to life through ACE

A three-phase method that helps your teams shift their behaviors, strengthen their relationships, and elevate their performance in ways that last.

Assess

Create clarity.

Understand your people.

Establish your starting point.

​We begin by uncovering how your team communicates, collaborates, and performs today—so we can target the human friction that’s holding them back.

​

We use:

  • DISC Assessments (individual + team map)

  • Team Pulse Surveys (clarity, trust, psychological safety, communication, conflict)

  • SKOR Analysis to identify strengths, stressors, and performance blockers​​

This phase builds a shared awareness that becomes the foundation for every improvement that follows.

cultivate

Build essential skills.
Strengthen communication.
Shift team behaviors.

​​Your team learns the core human skills that drive high performance—through engaging, evidence-based training that changes how people show up and work together.

​

Includes:

  • Speak With Quality™ Workshop

  • Interactive team labs on feedback, candor, psychological safety, clarity rituals, and healthy conflict

  • Practical tools, shared language, and behavior expectations everyone can align around​​

This is where teams gain the communication and collaboration habits that lift performance.

Elevate

Apply the skills with support.
Solve real issues.
Make performance sustainable.

Training gives you the tools—coaching helps you use them strategically and consistently.

​

​This phase may include:

  • Group coaching to deepen core communication and leadership skills

  • 1:1 coaching for leaders, managers, and high-potentials

  • Targeted coaching for team-specific challenges or interpersonal dynamics

  • Bespoke sessions for issues surfaced during the Assess + Cultivate phases​

This is where behaviors turn into habits, and habits turn into long-term performance gains.

What Happens When You Bring POWER to Your People?

Clear communication boosts productivity by 25%.

Faster Decisions & Delivery

Stronger communication reduces misalignment, clarifies expectations, and accelerates decision-making across teams.

​

Research shows that high-clarity teams operate 20–25% more efficiently (McKinsey).

​

Teams learn to communicate with intention, clarity, and confidence.

 

This results in decisions get made faster, meetings shrink, and collaboration becomes smoother.​

Psychological safety boosts productivity by 50%.

Higher Engagement & Retention

Teams that feel safe speaking up solve problems earlier and stay longer.
​

Research shows that high-safety teams are 50% more productive and 76% more engaged.

​

Teams learn how to have candid conversations, healthy conflict, and trust under pressure.

 

This results in people speaking up sooner, solving problems faster, and collaborating without fear.​

Effective leaders drive 48% higher team performance.

Stronger Leadership & Accountability

Leadership clarity and consistent follow-through reduce chaos and improve execution quality.
​

Managers account for 70% of team engagement and effective leadership drives up to 48% higher performance.

​

We train leaders to coach, communicate expectations, and follow through consistently.

​

This results in teams getting the clarity, direction, and confidence they need to outperform.

Healthy feedback loops make teams 3.5× more effective.

Better Quality & Fewer Mistakes

Candid, healthy feedback reduces errors, improves decision quality, and increases cross-team accuracy.
​

MIT found that teams with strong feedback systems are 3.5x more likely to outperform.​

​

Direct, respectful feedback reduces errors, clarifies expectations, and prevents costly rework.

If your people aren’t performing at their potential, it’s not a talent problem.

It's a Friction Problem

 

...and
Friction
is
FIXABLE.

POWER™ helps your team communicate better, trust deeper, and execute faster — so performance becomes a natural outcome, not a constant battle.​

​

We turn culture, communication and leadership into measurable performance.
