Company Vision
We’re on a mission to help Professional Coaches and Marketplace Leaders more effectively lead themselves and influence everyone they serve.
At COSMO Advantage we understand that coaches and leaders cannot journey to success in a silo. They need meaningful human connection, access to the right support systems and proven methods to achieve their goals.
Our team knows firsthand the painful journey of trying to go it alone while we grasp for the right tools and methods to lead ourselves and help everyone we serve. Which is why we are on a mission to help Professional Coaches and Marketplace Leaders succeed. Our proprietary COSMO Model is central to our training and coaching approach, empowering individuals and organizations to accomplish what matters to them.
We bring a wealth of leadership, business, and training experience to the table, allowing us to establish trust and cultivate strong relationships with our clients. We are dedicated to helping professionals reach their full potential, so they can make a positive impact on the world around them.
We believe that when leaders and coaches transform, the effects are felt throughout their business, organizations and beyond. That's why we are passionate about providing the support, proven methods, and tools needed to help individuals and teams thrive. We hope you’ll join us on our mission to make a difference.
What is COSMO?
COSMO is an acronym for a methodology that codifies all human achievement. Anytime individuals are growing or pursuing goals, these 5 categories - Clarity, Ownership, Structure, Momentum, Outcomes - are at play and need to be given attention.
COSMO was developed by paying attention to patterns found in stories and autobiographies, patterns that demonstrated the ways leaders in history helped their people grow and achieve. Those same patterns exist today. Leaders are still leaders and people are still people. This model has been tested in leadership and coaching circles for 25 years and proven useful for accomplishing anything. So we train leaders & coaches to use it for everything.
Our Values
COSMO Advantage Founding & Operating Principles
We are committed to respecting your culture and values. Our training and coaching philosophy is based on the belief that each person is guided by their own set of values and beliefs. Our founding principles and beliefs are influenced by a Judeo-Christian worldview, which informs how our leadership team conducts themselves in all areas of life, including relationships, work, play, and rest. While we are open about our personal beliefs, we do not purposely impose them on our clients during training or coaching sessions. We make every effort to keep learning how we can honor and respect each person’s ethnicity and culture.
