Our Approach
A thriving organization is one that actively creates and sustains transformational change. Success depends on the organization’s ability to engage partners – employees, board of directors, colleagues – to actively participate in sharing insights, creating innovative solutions, and providing leadership. The capacity to sustain authentic engagement and participation depends on the organization’s mission and strategy as well as the alignment of transformative culture, practices, and leadership that are equity-centered.
Organizational change is human change. The methodology that we use is the Be Present Empowerment Model® .

What We Do
We partner with you to strengthen your values and core competencies, such as:
- Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
- Mutual Respect and Trust
- Integrity and Ethics
- Collaboration
- Continuous Learning and Agility
- Innovation
- Adaptability to Change
We partner with you to embrace transformational HR.
The future of work is here. We are experiencing immense changes in work (the what), the workforce (the who), and the workplace (the where). Transformational HR creates change in how people think, feel, and behave so that they can engage in transformative action. It also entails shifting HR structures and operations to better generate shared value. Infusing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging throughout the whole organization encourages people to think about and act on these values more broadly. It ensures transformative change in policy and practice. This is the core of transformational HR.
We partner with you to create regenerative programs and alliances.
We define “regenerative” as the ability to bring forth, to grow, to renew, to reimagine. It is a dynamic process, in which the ability to transform learning into action is a continual practice and goal. Whether it’s a new or established program or alliance, we will support you to instill your living values in its planning, designing, building, implementing, sustaining, or reimagining phases.
