Core Values / Team

We Build & Foster Meaningful Partnerships—that honor and respect everyone’s roles and ideas, as well as hold each other accountable with the aim of mutual growth.

We Believe that Transparency & Honesty Engender Trust—and that information should flow in all directions. We are more effective when we “work out loud” sharing challenges, wins, and aligning understanding.

Our Approach is Intentional & Mindful—iterative thinking, empathy, and courageous vulnerability help drive our solutions and broaden our perspectives, so that we meet others where they are and don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We Embrace a Growth Mindset—we’re committed to a culture of learning and adaptability with our clients and ourselves – learning from feedback, persisting through setbacks, and improving outcomes.

We Value Context—core to our process and our values. We don’t approach things from one angle, which facilitates clarity and transparency.

We are Resourceful, Courageous, Determined, & Resilient.

Our remote team conducts national and global searches from bases in Los Angeles, CA; Portland, OR; Minneapolis, MN; and Boston, MA
