Our values
-
We think and work with business leaders, making strategic investments to leverage assets and reduce liabilities and risks. We work harder than our competitors to really understand your strengths, on-the-table capacity, and enablers of each person’s "particular genius" and past successes; with strong plans, this enables you to hit your next level faster and wires in the ingredients for sustainable success with each interaction, each leader, and each engagement.
-
We bring deep knowledge of business and humanity, ask questions worth leading and living into, and leverage aggregated research and seasoned expertise (not just experience or exposure) to guide our work, decision-making, and offerings. We work to understand and elevate the wisdom of our clients, as they lead at all levels. We create, speak and write to be additive to, and generative with, clients. We use that wisdom to challenge hardwired, misguided beliefs and biases to unleash potential.
-
We grow leaders at all levels via targeted small shifts that stick and create meaningful gains. We see your next-level capacity to lead with integrity, hope, and positive impact for shareholders and followers. We view leading as a privilege and ennoble it, and make learning to lead easier. We normalize the process of evolving as a human, scaling as a leader, and creating and evolving company culture with our proprietary “6R Fast Change Formula.”
-
We model being awesome and imperfect to perform better faster with practices like “fast first drafts” and “very good enough," and by offering and asking for help to get results faster with less excess stress. We reject chaos and do not mistake busyness for importance. We value impact and results, not being over-extended or chasing dopamine hits.
-
We honor our commitments to each other and our clients, creating value together—selflessly and self-fully, with shared purpose. Each of us brings our best in our roles and enables each other's success. We create and use systems and processes that scale, effectively and connectively.
We commit to our essentials, a disciplined “personal operating cadence,” put in effort, clarify our different “user manuals” (enablers of success), and seek to get 1% better each time. We are high value and low ego.
