Navigating Change Requires Skill
In a world marked by constant change and rising complexity, skilled leadership isn’t optional
It’s urgent.
Our Story
Kate Cockrill and Corinne Ferris (that’s us!) have been working independently for five years – coaching, training and supporting growing teams in the Pacific Northwest. And now, we are teaming up ourselves. We’re thrilled to announce that our new joint venture: SkillCharter is officially launching.
Together, our mission is simple
We help growing organizations build strong teams that pull in the same direction. Through practical workshops, coaching, and strategy support, we’re here to help teams chart their own course.
A few ways we stand out:
- We bring an “all hands on deck” approach developing leadership capacity at every level of the organization.
- We believe in cultivating open environments where every voice matters and people can navigate challenges directly
- We emphasize agility knowing that growing teams navigate shifting tides and changing horizons
- We go deep to uncover better ways of working together
The Challenge We Solve
Most companies demand high performance from their teams—without ever teaching people how to lead.
Managers are expected to navigate constant change, deliver results, and build healthy team cultures—yet less than 40% report receiving any formal leadership training.
That gap costs organizations in retention, engagement, and lost productivity.
At SkillCharter, we fill that gap with real-world, research-backed learning experiences that build better leaders—faster.
Our Services
We help leaders chart their course—from insight to impact
At SkillCharter, our programs are built from a progressive suite of tools and experiences designed to develop strong, self-aware leaders and resilient teams—one step at a time.
Assessment Tools
Start with insight. We use tools like Everything DiSC®, The Five Behaviors®, and Leadership Evaluations to help individuals and teams understand their working styles, collaboration habits, and leadership impact.
Workshops & Trainings
Our interactive workshops and manager development modules are designed to deepen emotional intelligence, strengthen communication, and equip leaders to manage change and conflict.
Coaching & Team Development
To make the learning stick, we offer individual and group coaching, as well as team intensives that allow participants to apply new strategies in context—transforming insight into action.
Sustainability & Growth
We support long-term change through train-the-trainer programs, peer learning structures, and tailored follow-ups that embed new habits and ensure leadership capacity continues to grow over time.
