WHAT WE DON’T DO*

*Yes, we went there.

Real transformation isn’t fast, and fast transformation doesn’t last. We believe that lasting change will not be created through a one-day training, a beautiful set of slides, or a 45-minute keynote. We prioritize clients who are willing to invest the time, team, and money to create real change at a systemic level, and as such need to politely decline requests such as:

  • One-off, bootcamp style training or workshop requests
  • Individual coaching
  • 1-2 day facilitation requests (unless they’re tied to larger strategic initiatives)
