AN INTRODUCTION

How It Began

An academic journey that began with StrengthsFinder resulted in the architecture and design of leadership.

The way we’re working isn’t working.

Our mission is to design and build conscious leadership for organizations to thrive.

Our vision is empowered leadership and exceptional workplace architecture designed for all.

Our values are the common thread that run through every aspect of our practice, from the talent designs we create, to the business decisions we make.
We believe:

  • People first culture wins
  • Authenticity generates opportunity
  • The future of work is fun
  • Workplace change is imperative
  • Transformation creates sustainability
  • Consciousness is the new competitive advantage

It's all about
Point of View

My enthusiasm for my work comes from the fact that people are very willing to change their thinking if someone will only give them a different point of view. They want to have the biggest impact. Once they know how, they change their behavior.
CHRIS HOLTER

It's all about Strengths

People want to get the most from themselves and from their careers. And when people find the right fit and are encouraged to grow and learn, they are not only more productive, but they are also better partners, parents, friends and community members.
