For nearly two decades, Focused Solutions has been a transformative agent in workplace dynamics, strengthening the relational fabric that supports high-performing organizations. As a leading workplace behavioral health and performance consultancy, Focused Solutions believes that when employees feel seen, heard and supported, they perform at their best, and so does the business. 

The philosophy extends to the clinical providers within the organization. Prioritizing their well-being through autonomy, resources and fair compensation, Focused Solutions creates a culture where excellence in care thrives. 

“We believe in the parallel process. When providers are supported in delivering their best care, clients are more likely to receive the best care in return,” says Janet Hosford-Lamb, founder and CEO.  

This foundation is central to addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing organizations today. One of the most significant is disconnection. Rising levels of anxiety, isolation and communication breakdowns are taking a toll on individual well-being and team performance. Leaders, in particular, often struggle to create environments of psychological safety and trust, conditions essential for engagement and productivity. This challenge underscores the critical need to develop soft skills that enable leaders to effectively support and manage their teams. 

To address these issues, Focused Solutions employs a comprehensive model that supports all organizational levels, from frontline teams to executive leadership. Its services, including executive development, emotional intelligence training, team coaching, trauma-informed support and confidential counseling, are designed to build stronger, more connected organizations where individuals and teams can excel.

A seasoned expert with over 20 years in workplace and behavioral health, Hosford-Lamb has shaped Focused Solutions’  integrated approach to leadership and organizational well-being. The firm brings a distinctive dual-lens approach, merging deep clinical expertise in behavioral health with a nuanced understanding of workplace dynamics. Its interdisciplinary team of licensed behavioral health professionals and workplace consultants works with individuals to uncover blind spots, build insight and make sustainable behavior shifts.  

With a client base spanning healthcare, defense, finance, government and nonprofit sectors, the team’s sector-specific knowledge enables them to quickly build trust and deliver interventions precisely suited to each organization’s unique needs. Every engagement begins with an in-depth diagnostic phase,  followed by tailored coaching and ongoing support to ensure long-term results.  

Focused Solutions’ framework empowers leadership teams to bring their mission, vision and values to life through daily actions. Executive engagements include coaching, 360-degree feedback and certified emotional intelligence tools to build self-awareness and relational leadership. For mid-level and emerging leaders, tactical coaching ties personal development to team success and broader organizational goals, reinforcing alignment and accountability. 

Teams benefit from tools like an evidence-based team assessment tool that identifies alignment and performance issues and uncovers relational dynamics that may hinder collaboration or productivity. Whether a team is facing conflict or simply looking to improve cohesion, Focused Solutions delivers structured interventions to strengthen relationships and drive progress. 

One notable example involved a senior team grappling with internal friction and declining performance. Using the tool, Focused  Solutions identified misaligned expectations, communication gaps and eroded trust. The team designed a targeted intervention, fostering open dialogue, strengthening interpersonal dynamics and reigniting the team’s sense of purpose. The results were clear: reduced interpersonal tension, improved collaboration and a measurable turnaround in performance. 

Focused Solutions also supports individuals facing stress or interpersonal challenges through a personalized approach that offers practical guidance on self-advocacy, communication and conflict resolution. Coaching engagements begin with one to two months of intensive support, followed by periodic check-ins to ensure continuous growth and long-term development. This approach helps employees build resilience and navigate change effectively, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and empowering them to overcome challenges. 

As workplace complexity grows, Focused Solutions is expanding into adjacent sectors where emotionally intelligent leadership and cohesive teams are essential. Its deeply relational approach enables it to scale while maintaining the personalized support that defines its work. 

Focused Solutions remains steadfast in its bold vision to reshape the future of work by elevating the human experience and empowering people in every workplace.
