Work isn’t Working

but it isn’t the work itself that needs changing.
It’s our relationship to it.

We are cooperative of professional mentors, coaches, entrepreneurs, leaders, and facilitators 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.

Let’s work together
