On a mission of effective change through discourse and reflection.

The microcosm reflects itself in the macrocosm.

The macrocosm recognizes itself in the microcosm.

Systems can emerge out of relationships that have codified over time. Sometimes these relationships are between people, groups, or between ideas and people.  Success is more generative and sustainable, when people are clear with themselves and others about their ambitions & what they hope to protect. In this way, the road to effective change can be through intentional & authentic relationship building.

There are four questions that guide the work:

  1. How do relationships develop between people & ideas?
  2. How does identity (race,  gender, culture, etc…) inform those relationships?
  3. How does power generate or restrict change?
  4.  What learning is needed to help an organization skillfully practice reflection and discourse?

What does an ideal client look like?
