In the realm of leadership and coaching, a distinctive partnership has surfaced — Chris and Elisha Schafer. These two seasoned experts have seamlessly combined their talents to establish OnDemand Leaders (ODL), an influential hub of leadership coaching intricately woven with behavioural sciences.
Elisha Schafer has assumed the position of Director at ODL; together, she and Chris revealed the pioneering LBA Leadership Masterclass and Executive Coaching programs meticulously designed to elevate leadership skills to unprecedented heights. Elisha has a remarkable success track record, having founded Lotus Counselling Services, a thriving psychotherapy clinic. McMaster University's Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences program holds her in high esteem.
At the heart of OnDemand Leaders' accomplishments lies its meticulously chosen cadre of leadership coaches—a collective of seasoned executives who have traversed the leadership journey. Their passage through the ODL process has endowed them with unmatched insights, rendering them a potent force in reshaping leadership landscapes.

With over two decades as a successful leader, with Elisha's feedback and insights, Chris Schafer arrived at a pivotal realization: self-awareness is the linchpin of effective leadership. This epiphany that self-awareness underpins potent leadership has steered ODL's trajectory. Evolving beyond conventional consultation, ODL has ascended as an executive coaching powerhouse, echoing the resounding ethos of "know thyself" to unlock peak performance and unwavering job satisfaction.
Chris and Elisha have harmonized their unique narratives into a symphony of expertise. Their partnership is a testament to the potential unlocked when seasoned leadership converges with academic rigour, and practical insights meld with visionary acumen. The outcome?
