The Thrival Concepts Leadership Development Pillars

Growth
Mindset

Our mindset is what dictates how we perform, what we believe and approach our endeavors, and how we react to what takes place. When it comes to learning, there are typically two main ideas that are promoted: People either have a “growth mindset” or they have a “fixed mindset.”

In short, people with growth mindsets are constantly trying to learn and grow to better themselves and the teams they lead or are apart of. These are individuals who enjoy challenges and believe that their intelligence, talents, and basic abilities can be increased or enhanced through hard work and dedicated effort.

At Thrival Concepts, we use the tools and concepts of the Growth Mindset to help leaders to communicate more effectively, to solve challenges, and to build high performing teams.

Listening
Intelligence

Listening Intelligence is the awareness of the unique habitual cognitive filters that we each apply as we prioritize and process information. We all “hear” when we communicate, but to listen intentioanlly, to understand, and connect with others is a vital business skill and can be developed through awareness, practice and discipline.

Listening Intelligence brings awareness to the different ways people process and prioritize information when they are making decisions, solving problems, or developing new ideas or opportunities.

At Thrival Concepts, we champion a mantra of "Listen First. On Purpose. With Purpose." as a core behavior of the high-performing modern leader.

Design
Thinking

Design Thinking is a problem solving and innovation protocol that combines creative and critical thinking to yield new opportunities in product development, operational strategy, customer service, and brand marketing strategy.

Design Thinking puts a focus on the ultimate end user - which is always a fellow human being - and identifies optimal strategies to serve and engage. The deliberate process of Design Thinking harnesses lessons from quick failures, real insights from actual users, and rapid iteration, focused on viability and bonafide value.

At Thrival Concepts, we employ the methodologies of Design Thinking to help teams to drive authentic and profitable innovation in a demanding and action oriented world.


Dave Momper’s Philosophy:

“Deep down, leadership is the ability to influence, inspire, and engage others, and to affect or make key decisions that add value to the world. Leadership is not always a matter of title, but rather a way of showing up in any giving moment. It’s a duty we can each take on, if we have the courage and discipline. Ultimately, our ability to lead and influence the world is fueled by self-awareness, empathy for others, resilience, and an ability to communicate effectively.

Actively refining and developing communication skills is the greatest competitive opportunity in life and career. The ability to know oneself, the ability to connect deeply with others, the ability to navigate the uncertainty of any given day, and the ability to consistently take and compel bold action all affect one's ability to make a significant and positive impact on the surrounding world.

We are committed to empowering the leaders of today to be impeccable communicators who create and drive growth, and culture in their organization. That’s why our work is powered by extensive experience in the corporate and creative worlds, and our coaching and training is founded on three core methodologies that fuel innovative, mindful and resilient leaders: Listening Intelligence, Design Thinking, and The Growth Mindset.

Onward! - Dave Momper


the THRIVAL Concepts TOOLKIT

CERTIFIED Listening PRACTitIONEr, ECHO LISTENING INtelligence

The ECHO Listening Profile® is the first statistically validated cognitive-based listening assessment that enables organizations to quickly understand the listening styles and corresponding behaviors of their teams, individual employees and future hires. This unique assessment methodology helps identify an individual’s personal listening style or habit in the workplace. It measures how individuals listen to, filter, and interpret what they hear, and how that interpretation affects how they communicate with those around them.

WHAT IS LISTENING INTELLIGENCE?

Listening Intelligence is the greater awareness and ability that begins when people understand how they themselves listen to and for certain information and therefore can, in turn, examine their own strengths and blind spots. Once individuals internalize their own listening style, they can adjust their communication to speak into other people’s listening preferences, enhancing connection, collaboration and overall business performance.

Commonly used to: bring awareness to the cognitive information-processing habits individuals have in order to elevate the discipline of listening intentionally, and to bring awareness to the cognitive diversity available across a team.
