let’s Humanize the nature of work

We’re here to help
you align to
Work That
Works.

As humans, it’s in our nature to work—we work nearly 90,000 hours in our lifetimes. Here at Human Work Project we are on a mission to humanize the nature of work.

We are an “ecosystem” of professional mentors, coaches, entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives supporting work that works.

We work with individuals, small business owners, teams, and organizations in creating work environments and experiences that support a sustainable, reciprocal, and abundant culture of work.

The Elements of Humanized Work

Align To Your purpose

Purpose is knowing, deeply, the reason why you work and the values. When individuals and businesses are aligned to their purpose, values, and needs, work just works.

Support your nature

Explore how you work best and what you can do to create a work environment for yourself and others that is supportive of your unique nature.

Integrate into Community

The culture of work can only change in the company of supportive community. Integration means inviting human–work alignment into the “ecosystems” of your work.

Let’s work together

yes, it’s Professional education, but the kind that actually works.

Step 1: Align to work that works for you

GrounDWork

GroundWork is our signature program designed to help you align to work that works for you. It’s the entry point into our Ecosystem and according to our clients “it’s the best work you’ll ever do.”

  • Identify your unique strengths, skills, & needs in work.

  • Orient to your purpose & values in work (and life).

  • Recognize your unique nature and how to incorporate it into your work.

  • Get the support you need to integrate into your day–to–day.

  • Offered as 6–week series, 9–week leadership certification, or customized “solo.”

Step 2: get community mentorship

H|W Ecosystem

Human|Work is the only professional mentorship network centered on a humanized experience of work. We are a collective of coaches, advisors, guides, and mentors here to support you in your experience of work. It’s sort of like a farmer’s market, but for mentors!

  • Get personalized support from our “ecosystem” of professional mentors.

  • Attend our events, workshops, and discussions.

  • Connect with others around meaningful & fulfilling work.

  • Offered as a seasonal (quarterly) membership.

  • Side note: GroundWork is a recommended pre–requisite

Step 3: integrate alignment into your team

H|W for teams

We work with existing “ecosystem” teams, groups, & organizations to bring the humanized work experience to you. Our professional mentors & advisors support alignment & integration into your existing “ecosystem” with customized programs:

  • Strategically align your team to your purpose, mission, & values

  • Cultivate a team of “humanized” leaders

  • Integrate whole–human teams

  • Nurture a thriving culture of work
