Touchstone
Strategic Consulting Across the Entire Employee Lifecycle
At the heart of any great talent strategy is a roadmap. But who designs the roadmap? Chances are an expert does. In our business, we call these experts TQ Consultants. They are the ones who work side-by-side with our clients – listening, thinking, analyzing and developing solutions.

At Touchstone, we know people, we know Talent Management, and we know Talent
Development. There is nothing more satisfying to us than helping our clients create a system or
solution to develop your most valuable asset – your people.

How We Drive Impact
Coaching
Assessment
We begin every consulting engagement with data—about the teams, leadership context, and the organization. This helps us define precise goals and tailor our solutions accordingly.
Alignment and Action
We collaborate with the manager, coachee, and Human Resources to align on clear, measurable goals, and create a shared understanding of what success looks like.
Integration
As coaching concludes, our Ph.D. consultants work with coachees to internalize progress and sustain momentum for long-term growth.
Executive Team Development
Customized Solutions
We tailor each program to your organization’s specific needs — offering targeted solutions for project teams, frontline supervisors, middle managers, and senior leaders.
Boosting Team Effectiveness
We equip your teams with proven decision-making and problem-solving tools to enhance collaboration, team performance, and results.
Varied Approaches
We use experiential and interactive methods like simulations, assessments, feedback, and group discussions to enhance your teams' performance.
