Our culture fosterS connection and nurtures consultant wellbeing

Be Yourself

You don't have to choose between being yourself or being successful. All the dimensions of diversity, equity, and inclusion are encouraged to make a home here.

Choose your own adventure

You're free to pursue opportunities that match your skills, passions, and interests. When you're free to create balance and flexibility in your life, we all benefit.

Collaboration over competition

Autonomy doesn’t mean you’re on your own. We value expertise and happily support each other as much and as often as we need.
The kind of latitude we get allows us to go after work that inspires us, and when we go after work that inspires us, we don’t just show up. We bring creative, new, forward thinking to our clients, and that’s why they engage us.

I hope clients engage us because we’re different than the rest, because they expect more, because they really want change that’s going to work, to be sustained.

I think that’s what we can bring because of the passion we have for our work.
