About Us
Connecting the organizational heart and mind
We understand that transformative and sustainable cultural change within organizations requires a complex approach to nuanced issues. We also believe that true cultural innovation is derived from touching the heart and mind of an organization, and not through exhaustive trainings and lectures. We connect the organizational heart and mind through our exclusive experiential workshops and participant-directed experiences.
Our firm’s mission is summarized within our brand mantra: To Serve. To Support. To Sustain.
