Thrive in Uncertainty

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
— Socrates

  • You reduced expenses, paused projects and deferred everything possible. It’s as if there was a big red “stop” button and you hit it hard. You had to. It was the only way to survive. You know things can’t stay like this much longer, but you feel caught betwixt and between. On one hand, you feel a strong urge to just get things back to normal—to the way they were—but something in your gut is screaming to you, “hey… maybe there is a better way.”

    When faced with an unexpected change you have a choice. Fight to regain what was or harness the energy of change to build what can be—one step at a time.

Our clients think we’re pretty gnarly

The organization dialogue was one of my most favorite days in my tenure with the organization. A day of positivity. A day of hope. A day we realized our hopes and dreams were possible. As a new CEO, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
