Why Refinery Is Different
Our Approach That Gets Results
Our work goes far beyond where traditional development programs stop which is based on Passive Learning approaches. This is why we can boldly say that Refinery participants can take leadership concepts and immediately put them to work.
Who We Work With
We partner with organizations that view their people as their greatest assets. They require a bold, honest partner to transform their people into leaders who inspire and motivate while maintaining a core level of self-awareness and deep understanding of the world they work in.
Our motto of “Get Comfortable Getting Uncomfortable” is something we stand by in every client interaction. We don’t always tell our clients what they want to hear, but we will always be honest about what we see as their real challenges. And then we work alongside them to work through them.

Work We’ve Done
Areas of Expertise
Leadership Development
We dig, poke, play, and challenge the norms. We create the space for people to get real with us—about their conflicts, their biases, their personal blind spots. Because we know that when leaders understand themselves, they begin to understand others.
Team Alignment
Getting teams aligned requires trust, honesty and healthy conflict. We probe to find out what is happening behind the scenes, and work to create an environment where team members can feel safe to challenge each other – and in turn commit to a common goal.
Strategic Planning
Before you decide what to do, you need to know where you’re going–and what’s standing in your way. Our strategic planning process is bold, different and gets rapid clarity on direction. No fluffy b**s***., just good, honest plans.
Inclusive Leadership
Our approach to DEI goes beyond unconscious bias, identity awareness and psychological safety. Our in-depth work helps Senior Leaders understand the strategic nature of DEI in order to maintain a competitive advantage.
Executive Coaching
We help leaders to understand the difference between their intentions and their impact on others. Through our coaching programs, leaders learn new ways of communicating, acting, perceiving and ultimately leading in a constantly changing world.
