Provide us with a brief summary of your business’ services

After nearly 20 years in business Leverage HR is rebranding as Leverage Leadership to more accurately describe the services we provide. We will continue to deliver the same high quality – award winning solutions for our clients based on our three service areas: Leadership Excellence, Inclusive Excellence, and Organizational Effectiveness to enable organizations to “Leverage the Power of Leadership!”

Tell us about your company’s mission and values

At Leverage Leadership, we believe leadership has the power to transform organizations and create thriving workplaces. Our core values set us apart, guiding how we lead, partner, and deliver results: Be a GREAT LEADER to DEVELOP leaders, Embrace COURAGE to INSPIRE others, Be a CATALYST for CONNECTION, and Relentlessly pursue EXCELLENCE. We believe in living our values so we can equip leaders to confidently navigate challenges and inspire their teams to reach new heights of success.

What are the services you use the most (or are looking forward to using) from the Columbus Chamber?

We deeply value our partnership with the Columbus Chamber, especially getting to know the talented and generous Chamber leadership team, participating on the leadership panels, warm introductions, networking opportunities, and COSI benefits. We’ve also benefited from marketing reviews, Cbuzz & Small Business Council —that has truly connected us to fellow members in meaningful ways. You get out what you put in, and it’s been an honor to contribute.

How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?

We stay on the cutting edge of leadership development and organizational effectiveness by actively engaging with our clients to understand their current and emerging needs. This includes regular conversations, co-creating research, and presenting insights at industry conferences. We tap into our expert consultant network to explore innovative tools and trends, often piloting new approaches directly with clients. Last year, we were among the first U.S. firms to introduce a global, data-driven team coaching solution, and we’re now integrating AI-powered coaching into our programs. This blend of collaboration, experimentation, and continuous learning keeps us—and our clients—ahead of the curve.

What is your company culture like?

At Leverage Leadership, we bring curiosity, connection, and continuous learning to everything we do. Our culture is inclusive, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that growth—both personal and professional—is meant to be shared. We love tackling big challenges, embracing change, and celebrating the diverse perspectives that make our team stronger. Whether we’re brainstorming bold ideas around next generation Succession Planning or co-creating how to streamline year long executive programs while maintaining impact, we bring heart, humor, and a whole lot of hustle. Simply put, we believe the journey is better (and way more fun) when we go far together.

What does it take to be a successful employee at your company?

A successful employee at Leverage Leadership is someone who is adaptable, mission-driven, and committed to personal and organizational growth. They thrive in collaborative environments, demonstrate strong emotional intelligence, and are passionate about making a positive difference through leadership.

What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?

Columbus is a thriving hub for small businesses, offering a supportive, collaborative community and a diverse, growing economy. Its lower cost of living and business operations make it an ideal place to start and scale to reach customers around the world from a local launchpad. Most importantly, Columbus fosters meaningful connections that help small businesses thrive long-term.
