Who We Are

Our work is human work. We revitalize organizational ecosystems by digging into cultures, holding up a mirror to their values, reframing diversity and difference, and helping everyone manage and leverage their difference. We know that when you meet the needs of your most marginalized people, you meet the needs of all your people–for their growth, creativity, productivity, health, and humanity. And we know that opportunity lies in people, not positions.
