About Us

We’re here to help build your capacity to improve.

We support you in understanding your situation and your options. Then we design a path forward together to address the human challenges in your work world.

As Applied Social Psychologists who have been building our practice for over thirty-five years, we’ve seen just about everything in the workplace.

And we’re comfortable with everyone, from the shop floor to the boardroom. We’re educators, not just consultants. The more complex and challenging the situation, the more value we can add!

We’ll tell you what you need to hear, even if it’s not what you want to hear…and we’ll help you hear it.

Values are a deal-breaker for us, so we’re choosy about who we work with, and we model what we teach.

Our passion is serving our clients by addressing the gap between the leadership we aspire to and how we live that out.

I’m very fortunate to be able to work with Ruth and am becoming a better leader thanks to her guidance. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and listens deeply to uncover and address the real issue, which isn’t always the one I thought needed to be dealt with. Ruth’s experience with all types of human resource challenges and opportunities, along with her understanding of organizational dynamics has been invaluable.

We work together to understand where you’re at today, where you need to be going forward, and how to get you there.

Sometimes you realize you know more than you thought. And sometimes not.
Either way we leave you further ahead.

Here’s how it works:
1.
Call us to begin the conversation and schedule an appointment.
2.
We work with you as trusted advisors to create a customized plan.
3.
We execute it together or help you figure out who else you need.
4.
And we’re available for ongoing support, quick advice, or to explore ideas.
