Our Founder
Purpose, Vision Impact
Purpose
Our purpose is to partner with senior business leaders who are committed to utilizing their heads and hearts to achieve sustainable success and unprecedented results as they build, grow, and scale the companies today’s people want to work for and do business with.
Vision
Our ambitious vision is to revolutionize business advising and leadership coaching with one steadfast focus: to cultivate workplace ecosystems that are People-Hearted & Business Minded™️. We believe companies operate best when business and leadership are practiced as one discipline.
Impact
We’re starting small, using a building-in-public approach, and holding a big vision to change the way businesses work—starting at the top. Our impact will be delivered one leader, leadership team, and company at a time. But that’s not all. We will expand our reach through blogs/vlogs, LinkedIn posts, a newsletter, group coaching, and a senior business leader forum.
The HumanKind Business Leaders
Difference
Relationship to Difference
We all know differentiating our business is important—market value and growth depend on it. But all too often, we fail to consider the value of human differences, and in undervaluing them, we cause unhealthy tension, cycles of conflict, and obstacles to growth. At HBL, we’re skilled at connecting the relationship between business differentiation and our human differences to catalyze the activation of shared values for strong business outcomes and a company culture that builds bridges. Differentiation and difference are the goal, not the problem.
We Know the Ropes
We’ve read the books (and highlighted them in a rainbow of colors). We have the education and certifications. And we’ve deeply practiced the business and leadership frameworks that we utilize. Lots of folks have these credentials. The difference we bring comes from years of experience with our hands on the wheel, the weight on our shoulders, and the earned know-how that only comes from navigating the peaks and valleys of leading a company through stages of growth.
Knowing the ropes brings a kinship and understanding that is refreshing to our clients.
We Customize the Wheel
We’re fans of doing what has been proven to work, and that’s why we draw upon a handful of operating systems and leadership philosophies we’ve used for many years. But no system or framework is a perfect fit on its own. We’ll help you choose the right one for your business and company culture, and then we’ll bring in supporting elements to customize that solution and position, evolving your approach over time. Nothing in business is constant. We make sure you’re ready to make thoughtful changes for the future.
