Our journey begins with a clearer and fuller vision of your best self, your best team, and your best organizational state of flourishing. Discover how to live out your mission, fulfill your purpose and make a positive difference in the world.
Our sessions help clients to discover their strengths and core values and put them into constructive action. We will guide you in bringing the best of who you are to your work and world by carefully, consciously, and intentionally creating the conditions where you and your teams can thrive personally and professionally.

*Reflected Best-Self Exercise: The Reflected Best Self exercise provides you with feedback about who you are when you are at your best. Participants request positive feedback from significant people in their lives, which they then synthesize into a cumulative portrait of their “best self.” We provide individuals, teams, and leadership development programs with facilitated administration of this tool. The Reflected Best Self exercise was developed by Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts and her colleagues from the University of Michigan’s Center for Positive Organizations.

Differences
ALIGN DIFFERENCES
Extraordinary leaders know how to create contexts that engage employees maximally from positions of strength.
Maximal engagement involves enabling employees of diverse perspectives and backgrounds to bring their best selves to work – leveraging their unique strengths and experiences to make valuable, authentic contributions to their organizations. We help our clients to unleash the unrealized potential that diverse perspectives and experiences bring to organizations. Our work builds upon an appreciative perspective for learning about, learning across and learning from differences.
