About the Practice

A research-informed practice working at the intersection of leadership and organizational systems.

Persephone & Demeter Management Consulting applies industrial-organizational psychology to the questions that determine organizational performance: how leaders are developed, how teams function, and how strategy becomes action.

The practice draws on validated instruments, peer-reviewed research, and applied experience with public-sector, military, and private-sector clients. That experience includes delivering educational content to Canadian military audiences — from foundational leadership programs to advanced officer and NCM courses — in classroom, workshop, and field settings.

Every consultation is grounded in empirical methods and tested against the realities of high-stakes operational environments.

Method

A disciplined sequence: diagnose, design, deliver, and measure.

  1. 01
    Diagnose

    Structured interviews, archival review, and validated assessments to define the actual problem — not the presenting one.

  2. 02
    Design

    An intervention tailored to context: workshop, curriculum, coaching arc, or systems-level recommendation.

  3. 03
    Deliver

    Facilitation and implementation calibrated to your operational tempo and constraints.

  4. 04
    Measure

    Pre/post evaluation against behavioural and organizational indicators, with transparent reporting.
