Who We Are

Blacksheep Revival Co. is a boutique leadership and culture studio offering grounded, human support built on trust, depth, and human connection. We provide personalized, high-touch support for modern leaders and organizations ready to do the inner work required for lasting cultural change that shapes healthier, more human workplaces.

Value Promise

We help people lead well, without sacrificing their values, their well-being, or their people.

What Makes Us Boutique ~ Small By Choice. Deep By Nature. Personal by Design.
We work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure depth, discretion, and meaningful impact.
There are no templates, no off-the-shelf programs, only thoughtful, tailored support shaped around your people, your culture, and your reality.

Mission

Our mission is to challenge outdated leadership norms while supporting people in creating healthy, human-centered workplaces where well-being, performance, and integrity can coexist.

Vision

We envision a world where leadership is measured not just by results, but by how people are treated, supported, and empowered along the way.

Our Values

Human First

People are not resources.
We believe healthy cultures are built when dignity, well-being, and lived experience are respected at every level.

Courage Over Comfort

Real change requires honest conversations and a willingness to challenge what no longer serves.

We value bravery, especially when it’s uncomfortable.

Integrity Always

We do what we say we will do.
Trust is built through consistency, accountability, and leading with clarity, even when the answers aren’t easy.

Depth Over Scale

We choose meaningful impact over rapid growth. Our boutique approach allows us to work deeply, thoughtfully, and with intention.

Leadership Is a Practice

Leadership isn’t a title, it’s a daily choice. We believe leadership is learned, unlearned, and refined through reflection and action.

Change Starts Within

Sustainable culture change begins with self-awareness. We value the inner work that makes outward transformation possible.

Intent + Offerings

Leadership Reclamation

For leaders carrying weight and ready to lead with integrity.

Leadership can be isolating.

The expectations are high, the visibility is real,

and the room for error often feels small.

Leadership Reclamation is a high-touch experience designed to support leaders in reconnecting with their values, confidence, and decision-making, without hardening or losing themselves in the role.

This work supports leaders to:

Lead without chronic stress, reactivity, or burnout
Navigate pressure with clarity and steadiness
Make ethical, values-aligned decisions
Build trust through presence, not performance

Formats available:
1:1 leadership advisory • executive intensives • small cohorts

Culture Repair + Reset

Leadership Reclamation

When culture is the real issue and everyone knows it.

Low morale, disengagement, conflict, turnover, and quiet quitting are

not people problems. They are culture signals.

Culture Repair + Reset helps organizations address what’s actually happening beneath the surface and create clear, humane systems that support both people and performance.

Focus areas include:

Psychological safety and trust restoration
Leadership accountability without blame or shame
Communication breakdowns and power dynamics
Defining what your organization truly tolerates, rewards, and models

Formats available:
Culture diagnostics • facilitated leadership sessions • team interventions • implementation roadmaps

Middle Leader Support

Recovery from Toxic Leadership

Because managers hold everything together, often without support.

Middle leaders are often caught between competing expectations,

unclear direction, and emotional labour they were never trained for.

This offering is designed to support managers in leading confidently, compassionately, and sustainably without absorbing

the dysfunction of the system.

This work helps middle leaders:

Set boundaries without fear
Communicate clearly in complex environments
Lead teams through change and uncertainty
Rebuild confidence, voice, and trust in themselves

Formats available:
Workshops • group coaching • embedded leadership support

Recovery from Toxic Leadership

For individuals and teams healing from harm.

Toxic leadership leaves a mark on confidence, nervous systems,

and professional identity.

This trauma-informed offering provides a grounded, compassionate space

to name what happened, restore self-trust, and move forward

without carrying the weight of past harm.

This work supports:

Healing without minimizing or reliving harm
Rebuilding confidence and professional identity
Restoring trust in self, leadership, or systems
Clarifying next steps with steadiness and self-respect

Formats available:
1:1 support • small group recovery spaces • organizational repair pathways

Speaking, Facilitation + Advisory

Clear, honest conversations that shift culture.

Blacksheep Revival Co. delivers talks and facilitated conversations that cut

through performative leadership language and speak directly to lived experience.

Topics include:

Why workplace culture fails and how to fix it
Human-centred leadership in high-pressure environments
Compassionate accountability
Leading without losing your humanity

Formats available:
Keynotes • panels • leadership retreats • advisory engagements

"During her tenure as Township CAO, Leslie's empathetic servant leadership style was pivotal in navigating the Township through various challenges and opportunities. She was instrumental in leading the team through execution of the Strategic Plan, supporting modernization efforts and improving internal and external service levels without losing sight of the customer and employee experience. Ms. Drynan's positive energy and enthusiasm was felt from the very first moment she joined our organization. Council set some very ambitious goals for the term and we made huge strides on many fronts. We have Leslie's relentless drive for excellence to thank for that - something I know she tries to instill in others every day. To say her absence will be felt for some time would be an understatement; she has left a permanent mark."

Book a Leadership Conversation

For Individuals

A grounded, no-pressure conversation to explore what's happening and what support might help.

You don't have to have the answers before reaching out.

This conversation is a space to slow down, speak honestly, and explore what support would actually serve you, your team, or your organization right now. There is no obligation, no pitch, and no expectation to commit. Just a human conversation about what’s real and what’s possible.

What to Expect

What this conversation is:

A confidential, grounded discussion
A chance to name what’s not working
Space to explore leadership or culture support options

What this conversation is not:

A sales pitch
A performance review
A one-size-fits-all solution

Gentle Reassurance + Closing

If now isn’t the right time, that’s okay.
If you’re unsure what support you need, that’s okay too.

Clarity often starts with conversation.

Human-centred leadership doesn’t begin with fixing.
It begins with listening.

If something in you is nudging you to reach out, trust that.

For Organizations

Not sure where to start?

Culture challenges are often complex and layered. This conversation helps identify what’s really happening and whether Blacksheep Revival Co. is the right fit to support your next steps.

Pricing + Investment

At Blacksheep Revival Co., pricing reflects the depth, care, and integrity of the work, not volume, speed, or hustle.

This is human-centred leadership and culture design.
It is relational, contextual, and tailored, not one-size-fits-all.

What Shapes Pricing

Every engagement is unique. Investment is based on:

Scope and complexity of the work
Individual vs. team vs. organizational support
Duration and level of involvement
Facilitation, advisory, or implementation needs

We take time to understand what’s actually happening before recommending support.

A Note on Fit

Not every organization or leader is the right fit for this work.

And that’s okay.

Our initial conversation is designed to:

Clarify what support would be most helpful
Ensure alignment in values and expectations
Determine whether Blacksheep Revival Co. is the right partner

There is no obligation to proceed.

Why We Don't List Fixed Packages

Leadership and culture are not transactional problems.
They require listening, discernment, and trust.

Fixed pricing without context often leads to:

Surface-level solutions
Rushed outcomes, and
Work that looks good on paper but fails in practice

We choose depth over scale — always.
