Cultivate Trust
Trust is your greatest and most fragile asset. Every moment is an opportunity to strengthen or threaten trust, and you are never finished building it. Do you know where trust is at risk today?
Discover where trust is strong, and how to find and close trust gaps between individuals or groups at any scale.
Build Readiness
Many of today’s biggest changes are unexpected, unwanted, and not optional. This kind of change needs a different approach to succeed.
People need help getting ready.
Measure and build readiness for any major disruption at any stage, even when it is unplanned or unwanted.
Take Care
People are more than what they produce. To thrive, people need to know they are wanted and cared for. They need room for play and self-care. Curiosity and innovation thrives where people know they belong.
You’re human. Stay humane.
Assess how well people feel seen, heard, supported, wanted, and engaged. Learn how to fill the gaps.
Find Focus
Zero in on what matters most. Align everything with that focus. Recalibrate expectations.
