YOUR STRATEGY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE PEOPLE EXECUTING IT.
“Skills can be hired. Behavior must be lead.”
“Corporate culture is defined by what leaders tolerate (passive), encourage (active), and model (hyperactive). ”
Organizational Consulting & Leadership Development
We work with executive teams and senior leaders navigating transformation, workforce challenges, and cultural change, to translate human behavior into measurable performance outcomes. FIG addresses the leadership’s capability, communication, accountability, trust, and interpersonal effectiveness that moves all three.
The financials of a merger are tangible and objective - easy to wrap our heads around. The employee/human cultural integration is complicated, subjective, fuzzier and therefore often overlooked and ignored. Values, confidence, connection, and credibility aren’t soft traits; they’re structural imperatives. No matter how brilliant your strategic plan is, it will fail if it clashes with your organization's workplace culture. FIG works with leadership and teams to forge a unified commonality in the cultural vision and builds the trust infrastructure with clarity and intention.
Fair to say that not many of us enjoy conflict and yet this is simply a factor and component of working together. When conflict enters a professional environment, the people closest tend to be heavily ‘human’ (emotions get involved, feelings can be hurt and egos ruffled). FIG helps to separate the ‘human’, realign the ‘employee’ perspective (what’s the best outcome for the team/company), facilitates and teaches effective resolution strategies, equipping employees with the tools, skills and courage to manage conflict effectively.
We have 5 generations of humans all working together with wholly different world views, experiences, expectations, approaches and attitudes towards work. FIG brings an understanding and approaches to help bridge the gap between these differing perspectives, provides language and strategies to span the differences and embrace each unique attitude and viewpoint.
“95% of the organizational challenges we encounter are human Issues.”
Not technical or operational.
Human.
Employee to employee.
Leader to team.
Culture to culture.
The bottom line matters, but is only achieved by the humans who happen to be employees. Sustainable performance depends on how effectively leaders understand, align, and mobilize the human employees who are responsible for delivering results.
Organizations often hire for skills and fire for behavior.
The gap between those two costs the average organization 50% to 200% of that employee’s annual salary.
FIG addresses that gap (grounded in more than three decades of executive experience and informed by applied psychology, sociology, and generational dynamics) before it becomes that cost.
“Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast.”

“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Randell and the Future Image Group (FIG) Team as exceptional leadership coaches and mentors. Over the course of my journey with Randell, she has profoundly impacted both my professional and personal development. Her expertise, patience, and innovative approaches have guided me to become a more effective, self-aware, and confident leader. One of the most transformative areas where Randell has helped me is in communication. Through her insightful coaching, I have developed the ability to communicate with greater intention and clarity, ensuring my words align with my objectives. ”
“I have known Barbara Randell for many years. She was a student of mine and became a friend. In addition to her ingenuity, intelligence, and flexibility, she’s a fine teacher. I can recommend her and Future Image Group without reservation.”
“I met Randell and Future Image Group two years ago through an Executive Training Program. What happened in that first session was unlike any assessment review I’d experienced before. FIG didn’t review my answers. They identified themes and asked questions that created a thoughtful analysis of my own management style. That interaction led to two years of coaching that I can only describe as one of the most important steps I have taken in my career. During that time, I successfully navigated significant personnel challenges, took on greater responsibility, and positioned myself for an executive promotion, with several departments asking me to join their organizations. The person I have become because of FIG is one that is capable, confident, and directed.”
