Our Values
INTEGRITY
We hold ourselves and our work to a high standard. We strive to make morally sound decisions, even in circumstances when that may be difficult. We do what we say we will do and work tirelessly to keep our promises. If we fall short of your expectations, we will take accountability and do everything we can to make things right.
INCLUSIVITY
We believe in creating an environment with and for our learners, clients, and business partners where they feel heard, valued, respected, and supported. Fostering a genuine sense of belonging that welcomes diverse perspectives builds the kinds of meaningful connections and deeply satisfying relationships which enable us to produce our best work.
INGENUITY
We actually do like to reinvent the wheel. We like taking unconventional approaches to generating ideas to develop something new or to elevate what already exists to the next level. We don’t need to think outside the box because we refuse to place ourselves in a box. Creative solutions flow from critical thinking, innovation, resourcefulness, and chocolate.
INVOLVEMENT
We believe it is important to give back to the communities where we live, work, and play. That means contributing our time, talent, and treasure to local charities and causes. We subscribe to the philosophy that service is the rent you pay for the privilege of living on this earth.

The 4Ns of Impactful Learning
INFORM
Learning is impactful when participants receive practical tools and actionable strategies they can immediately use and implement in their roles to strengthen their knowledge, skills, and performance.
We conduct industry-specific research and partner closely with our clients to ensure our session content is current, relevant, and incorporates real-world examples which reflect the unique dynamics of their workplace.
Connecting the dots between the “why” of the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategic priorities and the learner’s natural desire to understand “what’s in it for me” transforms an otherwise ordinary learning experience into an exceptionally impactful one.

ENGAGE
Learning is impactful when participants have numerous opportunities to interact meaningfully with one another and the facilitator.
We create a psychologically safe environment where learners are treated with respect, vulnerability is rewarded, and everyone feels comfortable bringing their full selves to the learning space free from judgment or derision. Participants are actively encouraged to contribute to their overall learning by asking questions, sharing their expertise, and describing their work experiences.
Our sessions foster active involvement in the learning process through a thoughtfully planned equation of individual and group activities. Activities are consistent with adult learning theory and the four primary learning styles.

ENTERTAIN
Learning is impactful when participants have fun experiences.
Incorporating fun into learning has numerous positive effects. Participants who have fun are more likely to stay engaged and have improved memory retention. Because fun helps to relieve stress, participants feel less anxiety and pressure to perform. Fun also promotes social interaction and stimulates creative thinking.
All of our sessions include some element of fun attention-grabbing icebreakers, friendly competitive games, and non-traditional hands-on activities. Whether it's playing musical chairs, building bridges out of popsicle sticks, going on a scavenger hunt, or yelling out BINGO!, participants in our sessions need not rely upon the caffeine in their favorite espresso or carbonated beverage to remain alert. Humdrum sessions are not an option.

INSPIRE
Learning is impactful when participants are inspired to share what they have learned with others and to shift how they work.
We seek through training to reinvigorate each participant so that they will feel encouraged to be more and to do more. Our desire is that participants gain knowledge which transforms their thinking and that they leave the session with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.
We challenge participants to think deeply about how they will apply what they have learned to make a difference on their teams.
Answering the "why?" at the beginning of the session, we ask "now what?" at the end.
