We help get to the heart of work
We focus on unlocking the leadership capacity in others – individuals & teams. That is our core product. We do this because we believe that leadership is the heart of work.
We help leaders, seasoned and emerging, achieve impactful experiences for the people they serve (which also includes themselves*). We often do this through the intangibles of work – meaning, purpose, values, culture and so on.
We help get to the heart of work. More specifically, we help you get to the heart of your work.
*We believe that as a (lowercase “l”) leader, whether that’s in your professional work, as a parent, as a teacher, in your community, etc., you should be your ‘follower zero’. That means the first person you are responsible to lead, to serve and support, to coach and to sponsor, to offer empathy and compassion to, to stay curious about, is yourself.
We serve & support in a few different ways
We serve and support you through our individual & team coaching, our facilitation & workshops, our strategic advisory work, and our consulting engagements. We also weave in some thought leadership now and again.
Individual & Group
Coaching
We provide impactful individual one-on-one coaching for seasoned and emerging leaders. We serve as a thought partner & and accountability partner to each of our coaching clients.
Our typical leadership coaching client is a successful professional who has a strong interest in becoming a next-level leader, and/or who needs help getting un-stuck. And, most importantly, is one who comes to coaching willingly.
We also offer small group / cohort-based leadership coaching, which is both impactful and cost effective for leaders from the same company, same industry or same professional organization.

Facilitation &
Workshops
We facilitate leadership meetings & offsites, and we offer a variety of keynote / speaking topics, along with workshops to help build trust and skills across leadership teams.
Our flagship learning series is Foundational Leadership, which helps leaders at various stages discover or re-discover their leadership capacity. In addition to Foundational Leadership, our recent work with senior leadership teams has included workshops for Purpose-mining, StrengthsFinder, Powerful Conversations & Growth Mindset, to name a few.
In addition to our work with companies and agencies, we’ve recently provided our facilitation services to industry organizations like Purposeful Intent and CoreNet Global Northern California.

Consulting
Engagements
Our consulting work aligns us with enterprises of all shapes and sizes in their quest to create human-centric workplaces. (We could tell you who we work with, but then we’d have to silence you. Just kidding. But not really.)
Our recent consulting engagements are varied, and include serving as an fractional embedded resource for a large tech client, as well as designing, implementing and actioning a robust engagement survey for professional organization.
With our Coaching, Facilitation & Advisory services, most of our work tends to happen “in the room” so to speak. In other words, the work unfolds in partnership and in real-time with our client(s). With our Consulting, the work often happens “outside of the room”, and involves us creating a body of work on behalf of our client(s).

We are proud to bring diverse and well-rounded backgrounds to our work, made up of decades of senior-level experience in the financial services, commercial real estate and technology sectors. Collectively, we possess a healthy dose of EQ, strong business acumen, and the ability to speak fluent CFO, CIO and CHRO, among others.
We love to coach individuals and small groups, when coaching makes sense. We also advise when our point of view and input is helpful. And, we consult when our subject matter expertise is needed.
We like to explore the work and workplace intangibles – purpose, values, culture, brand and so on – to get below the surface of the work. We lean into the building of strengths-based capabilities in those we support and in ourselves. We are continuously expanding ourselves through learning, teaching, mentoring, and coaching, and we truly enjoy helping others, especially those early in their career, become their best professional selves.

We believe in the power of #HarnessingNext
The world of work is forever changed. And while we are certainly interested in shaping the future of work with and for our clients, we know that future -- the future of anything, really -- is built from many important ‘nexts’.
We believe there is great power to be accessed when leaders are intentional about each important 'next'. We work with you to harness that power. We call that HarnessingNext.
We help you be more intentional about your next...

Our logo has meaning
The shape of our mark / logo is inspired by the guitar pick. It serves as a symbol of the potential for achieving harmony in the human hand, even amongst the most novice of pick holders.
