For Organizations
Transforming deep expertise into business-advancing influence
At the Director through EVP level, technical brilliance is the price of entry - but it is no longer the gate to strategic impact. We partner with Fortune 1000 Organizations to trade ‘check-the-box’ training for a rigorous behavioral code that mobilizes teams and drives wise decisions faster.
“I have seen VISKA work with diverse and demanding groups of executives. They are excellent coaches who coordinate with others, deliver actionable results, and make a difference in how and why people act as leaders.”
— Frank Cespedes, Harvard Business School
The Kind and Rigorous Alternative to the ‘Money-Mill’.
Research shows 50-70% of top-tier professionals originally dread corporate training. They expect a ‘band-aid’ or theoretical fluff. VISKA is the antidote.
We don’t just tell you what matters; we show your leaders specifically how to do things differently with tangible, tweakable, and measurable behaviors.

About Sharon Leckie and VISKA Group
We are a boutique firm and plan to stay that way.
VISKA Group was founded by Sharon Leckie, a Leadership Strategist for science and tech environments who specializes in navigating the "thin air" of executive politics. While many firms focus on the what and the why, we distinguish ourselves by focusing on the tangible how. We break down the ‘soft-skill mystery’ of leadership into a learnable sequence of behaviors that drive measurable business outcomes.
Our perspective is built on 30,975+ hours of first-hand conversation at the VP to C-Suite level, providing us with a ‘sixth sense’ for how leaders are perceived and how reputations are built. Grounded in neuroscience and the psychology of leadership, we demystify complex concepts into ‘tweakable’ behavioral components.
For 22 years, our ability to deliver surgical behavioral shifts has put us in front of senior leadership in Fortune 1000s and top-tier business schools. We don't believe in ‘money-mill’ training; we believe in kind and rigorous strategic partnership that wins in your market
