Our Mission:

To help managers
be the kind of
manager they would
want to work for

LEARN MORE

We’re passionate about developing great managers because who you work for is everything.

It changes your life. It determines if you love or hate your job, if you end your day with energy or feel drained and defeated. There are bosses we would do anything for and bosses that have severely challenged our mental health.

Management is learned. That's why we've created tools and resources backed by science, for managers to become inspiring leaders and create a better work environment for their teams.

Proven effectiveness, positive change

We are so proud of the customer relationships that we've built. We know they share our belief that who you work for is everything, and they also are committed to helping their managers be the kind of manager they would want to work for.

Our Values

Focus on Impact

We pick the highest impact work and get it done. We are a small team so we make sure we focus on the work that moves the needle the farthest and fastest for our customers.

Stay Relevant

Trends are ideas are constantly evolving, so to stay ahead of the curve we must be nimble enough to adjust and respond quickly. We are committed to staying relevant and meeting people where they are.

Be Resourceful

We ask for help so we learn fast, make fewer mistakes, and hire the best people. Don’t know the best way to get something done? Find someone who does and ask them.

Keep it in Perspective

We’re not saving babies here! Permission to have fun ☺ We like feeling the pressure but we don’t want the stress. We want everyone who works with us to enjoy being part of the team and every one of our customers to enjoy their interactions with us.

Check the Data

Without data we are just guessing. People don’t always behave or engage with us the way we’d expect or predict so we use data to understand our customers better and make the right decisions.
