Our Belief

Culture is Created and Maintained in The Middle

While leadership sets the tone, true cultural transformation blossoms in the middle. It’s here, within the ranks of middle management, that the seeds of change take root. Our holistic approach to culture change emphasizes the crucial role of these middle managers, ensuring they have the tools and support to translate vision into reality. By focusing on this pivotal group, we ensure the longevity and authenticity of your organizational culture.

Our Approach

A Comprehensive Strategy for Success

Your people are your biggest and most complex asset. Creating a workplace that works for everyone while staying focused on your goals requires a comprehensive approach. We combine consulting, group learning opportunities, and one-on-one coaching with proven strategies that help individuals, teams, and organizations create a shared vision of success. 

Professional Development

We understand that every organization has a unique vision for creating a thriving workplace culture. Our workshops are designed to address the fundamentals of leadership and team building with the flexibility to meet you where you are in your workplace transformation journey. Led by engaging coaches and facilitators who’ve been there and developed in partnership with you, your employees will feel heard and walk away ready to take action with greater self-awareness, stronger leadership skills, and team norms that boost trust and productivity. 

Leadership Coaching

While creating a culture that works requires support from the top, it happens one person at a time. Our expert coaches work with executives and rising leaders to deepen their self-awareness and identify leadership styles that create transformational impact for their teams, increasing productivity, reducing attrition, and growing your bottom line. Our approach to executive coaching provides the best practices of neuroscience-based coaching and strengths-based development, providing strategic support to vision, plan, and achieve highly impactful goals. 

Advisory Consulting

All of our partnerships start and end with consulting. We don’t just show up and deliver a one-size-fits-all program; we work with you to learn more about your business, challenges, and goals and tailor our solutions to your needs. Whether it’s a one-time Culture Conversation or a deep dive into your workplace and leadership strategy, you’ll benefit from our consultants’ leadership experience and development expertise to create sustainable organizational change. 

Our Co-Creation Process: The Culture A.D.D. Framework™

Our 4-step co-creation process leverages our signature Culture A.D.D. Framework, and is designed to guide your organization from envisioning a thriving culture to realizing it. Together, we’ll assess, design, deliver, and refine the strategies that elevate your workplace, ensuring a lasting impact on your team, your clients, and your bottom line.
