Who this is for

ORGANIZATIONS READY TO INVEST IN THEIR PEOPLE.

  • Organizations or teams with roughly $1M–$10M budgets and 10–75 staff
  • You genuinely care about investing in your people and the organization's culture
  • Your company recently experienced (or is anticipating) significant growth
  • People feel disengaged, reactive, or quietly checked out
  • You're coasting, and you know there's another level to unlock
  • You fear (or you know) that employees are burning out

Not for

This engagement isn't the right fit for everyone.

  • Organizations in financial crisis
  • Leaders shopping for narrow tactical training without culture work
  • Senior leaders unwilling to examine their own behavior
  • 2–3 person organizations

When

6–9 mo.

A transformative process, not a workshop.

This is deep work. It takes time to interview people honestly, surface what's really happening, and rebuild the systems and habits that hold a culture together.

Where

Hybrid.

We come to you for one week to kickstart and build solid rapport. Then we work remotely together.

That first week is on-site: interviewing stakeholders, getting to know people and the mission, having water-cooler conversations in the breakroom. If this is going to be truly transformational, we need real rapport built from the start.

The Container

When the systems are clear, leadership is trustworthy, and the individual is regulated...

This is where the best work happens.
