Our core beliefs: ➢ We are now living in an emotion economy, where empathy and compassion are the new table stakes for winning over customers and employees ➢ Mindful, emotionally-aware leaders create the best cultures and attract the best people ➢ Business acumen gets you the job; your mindset & behaviors determine if you keep it ➢ Every single person can build leadership courage and resiliency skills ➢ Gender parity in the workplace is a balance of opportunity and individual readiness ➢ You have to put on your own oxygen mask first: self-compassion and self-care are not the same as selfishness What we’re passionate about: • Creating the kind of sustainable learning experiences and environments that can reignite a fire inside of people about their life’s purpose, the work that they do, and how they lead their teams • Doing work that goes beyond dollars and profit margins as success markers; making a deeply positive and lasting impact on other people’s lives and instilling a sense of social reciprocity in them as they interact with others • Helping an organization truly transform their culture to become hyper-focused on innovation as a discipline and getting their customers to fall in love with them (again) • Working on programs that will advance and reshape the role women play in the workplace as both leaders and individual contributors • Teaching empathy and compassion as the meta competencies for all leaders of people • Facilitating and coaching cross-functional team workshops • Learning.
