Core Service Areas:

Organizational Health Audit
A deep-dive assessment of your org’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities—including a SWOT analysis and actionable recommendations.

People Strategy & Framework Development
Strategic planning for the People/HR function, including structure, systems, and scalable processes to support growth.

Purpose & Values Alignment
Development of your company’s mission, vision, and values—plus leadership principles and your employee value proposition—to ensure alignment from the inside out.

Employee Experience Design
Holistic experience design across both culture and space—from policies, programs, and offsites to workspace configuration and return-to-office planning.

Coaching

Personalized support for individuals seeking clarity, growth, or change—professionally or personally. Coaching engagements are offered as one-on-one sessions or ongoing advisory partnerships.

Types of Coaching:

Individual Coaching
A supportive, one-on-one space to explore what matters most to you—professionally, personally, or both. Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, rethinking what success means, recovering from burnout, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to get you moving with intention and clarity.

Advisory & Mentorship
A more flexible, conversational engagement for those looking for ongoing guidance, reflection, and strategic support. Part coach, part mentor, part seasoned People leader—this is ideal for founders, people leaders, or thoughtful professionals who want a trusted sounding board as they lead, grow, or figure things out.
