Our Guiding Principles

Celebrate Confusion

Confusion is a great gift. It heaves you into the beyond, helps you to get unstuck, motivates you to explore new options. But it takes great courage to allow yourself to experience confusion. We have much greater concern for people who look straight ahead, never get off the beaten path, never diverge and therefore, never get confused. If you are confused or if you feel the confusion of your organization—take a moment to celebrate. Celebrate your courage. Celebrate that you are on a journey of growth.


Be open to possibilities

Our imaginations for the future are limited. The possibilities are not. We may have a very clear vision of where we are going. Or not. Either way, the future holds more possibilities than we can plan for. We are pleasantly surprised almost every day as our clients get clear about what direction they want to move (not an easy part of the process) and start to put energy into that direction, that miracles happen and doors open up that they could not have imagined.

Embrace the process

Change is a little scary. It involves letting go of the way things used to be. It involves traveling into unknown territory. It involves grieving endings. But the process of moving into a place where you can maximize who you are can be thrilling. Our promise is to sign on to walk beside you. We’ll look into those dark places and move with you in new directions.


Stretch to your highest potential

We believe that we get to explore all of who we can be. There is just no reason for you to be less than. Through this process your relationships, your career, your spiritual life, your organization gets to stretch and grow and be uplifted.
