Who we are…
A group of individuals committed to driving positive change in the way work gets done. We are leveraging our experience as relentless disrupters and focusing our passion for problem-solving and creating delightful experiences to power individual self-empowerment.
What we do…
Empower individual growth through continuous learning and development.
How we do it…
With extreme respect, constant curiosity, relentless service, sincere community commitment, and unwavering integrity.
Our philosophy…
We are debunking the notion that career happiness and success are determined by our natural intelligence and technical skill expertise.
Research more than 100-years ago concluded that high-competency soft skills, or as we like to call them, career success skills, lead to greater job satisfaction, meaningful work relationships, and higher mental and emotional well-being.
We believe when individuals have strong self-awareness, an ability to identify work-styles and unique characteristics of their colleagues, this knowledge leads to career empowerment.
Our idea…
Build a highly engaging and useful app that raises an individual’s awareness of their current abilities, then offer actions to speed development, growth, and happiness.
