Find Your Alignment IQ

Used by leaders who want to see what others miss.

Your company didn’t lose momentum overnight

A man is covered with numerous sticky notes on his face, chest, and the wall behind him. The notes contain various handwritten reminders, to-do lists, and motivational phrases like 'Take a Break', 'Chill', 'Stop!', 'Eat Sleep', and 'Don't overthink'. The notes are scattered all over the man and the wall, creating a chaotic and busy scene.

It happened gradually: a little more confusion in meetings, a few more missed handoffs, a lot of “we’ll figure it out later.”

Now the story that built your company isn’t holding it together anymore.

That’s where we come in.

Leadership In Focus helps you rebuild clarity, trust, and growth from the inside out - so your next chapter starts with confidence.

The Problem We Solve

We hear it all the time from founders and CEOs:

“I don’t know who we are anymore.”

You’ve grown fast, hired fast, and built systems on the fly.


Now your message, your culture, and your strategy aren’t pulling in the same direction.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • You’re second-guessing where to focus next.

  • The team’s energy is dipping.

  • Customers are confused about what makes you different.

  • The board wants progress, but can’t agree on priorities.

You don’t need another playbook or pitch deck.

You need clarity, the kind that reconnects every part of your business around what makes you valuable.

What We Do

We help leaders rebuild alignment across three dimensions:

Brand. Culture. Leadership.

Together, they form your company’s true operating system, your BrandTruth Alignment™.

Our 4-phase process helps you:


1️⃣ See what’s real: We uncover where your business is out of sync.
2️⃣ Hear the truth: From employees, customers, and your leadership team.
3️⃣ Rebuild identity: Clarify your brand story and leadership language.
4️⃣ Sustain growth: Embed culture and accountability so it sticks.

When everything inside your company matches what you say outside, you don’t just grow: you compound.

Who We Work With

A man with a beard and short hair standing in front of a whiteboard, pointing at a list with a marker in his right hand. The whiteboard has a heading 'Know Your Customer' and contains handwritten text with numbered points.

We work with two kinds of leaders:


The Builders: scaling up, adding people fast, and trying to hold it together.

The Exiters: preparing to sell or step back, but realizing the business runs on them.

Both need alignment.
Both need a roadmap.
Both need trusted partners who’ve done this before, at national and global levels..

What People Are Saying

Why It Matters

Your brand, culture, and leadership already tell a story.

The question is: does anyone believe it?

When they finally align:

  • People know what to focus on.

  • Teams move faster.

  • Customers buy in deeper.

  • Growth stops feeling forced.

That’s when everything clicks.

When everything inside your company matches what you say outside, you don’t just grow: you compound.

Why Us?

We’ve led brand and strategy transformations for Fortune 100 organizations and high-growth Canadian businesses alike.

Now, we help founders and leadership teams do what few manage to pull off: grow without losing themselves.

Leadership In Focus was founded by Kurtis Graham (Toronto) and Curtis Scaplen (Halifax); two growth strategists who’ve spent decades helping organizations close the gap between vision and reality.

We work side by side with founders and leadership teams, not as consultants, but as extensions of their strategy bench.


Our goal: help you reconnect your brand, culture, and leadership so everything starts working together again.
