Lodestone People Consulting

Our thoughts exactly! While hiring managers often lean on gut feelings, IO psychologists know that decisions made without data can lead to costly mistakes. At Lodestone, we emphasize the importance of a structured, evidence-based approach to executive assessment. It’s not just about filling a role—it’s about ensuring long-term success by understanding leadership potential, team dynamics, and organizational fit. Trusting the science ensures that you’re not just filling a vacancy, but building a future. In short, if you're feeling like going with your gut with such an important decision, just "don't". #StrategicAdvisory #DataDrivenDecisions #IOPsych #ExecutiveAssessment #PrivateEquity, #ExecutiveAssessment

Now fly away home—Until next time :) We sent them all off! After a beautiful retreat with this incredible group of leaders, it’s hard to put into words what a meaningful, fun, and enlightening retreat this was. Yes, of course we tackled vital topics like authentic leadership, influencing others, and building an effective team, but perhaps the real treasure was the meaningful connections made along the way. Each session—from learning how to build cohesive teams to talking about avoiding burnout—offered space for growth, both personally and professionally. So, it wasn’t just about learning—it was about forming relationships that will carry everyone forward as they continue their leadership journeys. The retreat may be over, but the impact is far from it! Each of our lovely participants is leaving with renewed energy, actionable takeaways, and the support of a powerful network of leaders. We look forward to staying connected and seeing the incredible impact this group will continue to make! Keep in touch everyone! #WomenInLeadership #Leadership #PrivateEquity #PE #IOPsych #Lodestone #CareerGrowth #CareerDevelopment

POV: The girls trip finally makes it out of the group chat! With our annual Women in Leadership retreat underway, it's not just about the seminars and workshops (though there are plenty of those!). Participants are taking a well-deserved break to experience the stunning scenery here at Brasada Ranch, and connect with each other during some horseback riding across the beautiful terrain. It’s these moments, where you get to disconnect from outside pressure and connect with new people around you, that inspire fresh perspectives and create lasting bonds! After all, reaching your potential is about balance—between growth and reflection, learning and leisure.
