Our Methodology

At a time when leaders and organizations are under immense pressure - from AI transformation, evolving workforce expectations, and rising geopolitical complexity - the strengths-based approach in our Leader-First Transformation™ model offers a powerful, research-backed alternative to traditional leadership development.

In a study on more than one million individuals across more than 50,000 business units, Gallup found that organizations that invested in strengths-based development experienced a 29% increase in profit, 72% lower attrition and a 15% increase in employee engagement.

Additional benefits of a strengths-based approach:

Protects a Precious Asset

Fixing Weakness is Insufficient

In many organizations, capital and technology can be duplicated - but people and culture can't. A strengths-based approach magnifies your human potential.

Fixing Weakness is Insufficient

Many leadership programs still focus on weaknesses, generic competencies, or one-size-fits-all models. Research proves that leveraging strengths yields better outcomes with less investment.

Aligns With Employee Needs

Fixing Weakness is Insufficient

Aligns With Employee Needs

Today's top talent seeks meaningful work, psychological safety, authentic leadership and development opportunities. When leaders focus on strengths, employees feel valued, engaged and aligned.

Offers Measurable ROI

Create Strong Employer Brand

Aligns With Employee Needs

As shown in the Gallup research, the ROI is compelling: productivity, profit, engagement and retention all rise. That turns leadership development from a "nice to have" into a strategic investment.

Builds Resilience

Create Strong Employer Brand

Leaders who operate from their strengths are more authentic, energized and resilient. And that matters especially when the organization is navigating disruption, complexity or growth.

Create Strong Employer Brand

Organizations known for strengths-based leadership attract and retain better talent, create stronger leadership pipelines and build cultures of high performance and sustained well-being.

Our Philosophy

At the core of Leader-First Transformation™, is the belief that leaders should embark on an inward journey as the foundation for developing their power to transform people and organizations for the better. Guided by evidence-based research and the wisdom of lived experience, we help leaders achieve wholeness, nurture connection and develop presence so they can help everyone around them achieve their full potential. Through this work, Turas honors its mission to transform corporate cultures into environments where everyone can flourish - one leader at a time.

Wholeness

Connection

We believe that to be a transformative leader, one must experience a transformation within the self first. That's why we help leaders achieve wholeness. Because when intellect, emotion, intuition, and purpose align, clarity, authenticity and confidence follow.

Connection

Relationships are the medium through which transformation occurs - and lasting change requires psychological safety. We create the conditions for leaders and teams to reflect honestly and grow authentically. Trust is our foundation.

Presence

Connection

Presence

As the world becomes increasingly complex and leaders must navigate constant uncertainty - presence is power. Transformative leadership demands courage, honesty, and moral clarity. We guide leaders to slow down, listen deeply, and lead from grounded awareness.
