Meaningful work. We wrote these words on our office wall one day, and they helped us see the world in a completely new light.
Meaningful work challenges the status quo — it has the fire of entrepreneurship and creates positive impact in the world we live in.
It's the type of work that has you jumping out of bed in the morning because you know that the work you're doing, matters.
It's not noisy — it's meaningful.
Meaningful work moves us towards solving some of the world's most complex challenges — the advancement and empowerment of women, financial literacy for those who need it most, health and wellbeing for all, gender equality, meaningful education for young people and developing platforms for the quieter voices in our communities.
We believe that business can be a force for good, and we're on a mission to work with authentic, purpose-driven leaders who believe that too.
This is our purpose.
Working directly with leadership, communities and bringing together diverse groups of people to solve complex organisational challenges, requires a team with a unique set of skills and a diversity of thinking of their own.
Empathic
& purposeful
Accountable
and responsible
Diverse, inclusive
& insightful
Nimble, agile
and embedded
Dispersed, flexible
and a little nomadic
A team with empathy and purpose as its key principles is a team that understands the importance of listening and understanding whilst balancing purpose with business outcomes in a meaningful way.
Our team are leaders in their own right — accountable and responsible they understand that mindful, authentic leadership is the type of leadership we expect in the complex world we live in.
We build diverse, insightful teams from divergent backgrounds — your people, our team and network of leaders, and the community around us are the people we seek to include in true cross-functional teams.
Not conforming to industry standards our team of leaders are dispersed, autonomous and experts in their fields. With a 'work-from-anywhere' principle, we're able to mobilise quickly and bring a diverse range of skills together for each engagement.
Our business is digital-first, smart and disperesed. Our partners and collaborators are based in multiple locations, from Melbourne to Kyneton in regional Victoria, Athens and Amsterdam; our teams co-locate, co-create and come together onsite for a better way of working.
We are a values-led business which means we draw a line in the sand, and from time to time, we point to that line.

Industry norms, old thinking and yesterday's tools aren't going to solve the problems of tomorrow.

Leadership teams must listen to a range of diverse voices and experiences rather than relying on the same voices to solve complex new challenges in an ever-changing world.

We're an accredited
B Corporation and that means we walk the walk.
As a team that works directly with the leadership of organisations, we realise the influence we have on guiding boards, executives and organisational culture in becoming forces for good.
Accrediting as a B Corporation provides us the framework to ask better questions of ourselves, our work and how we can impact the world we live in, for the better.
These are areas of greatest impact:
Ethical
decision-making.
Diversity, inclusion
& representation.
Centering on the people who matter.
Connecting leadership, culture & marketing .
Fearless, adaptive & mindful leadership.
We work with boards to embed purpose, values and principles into decision-making and strategic planning.
By empowering open dialogue and defining a common understanding of purposeful leadership we ensure that leadership groups make values-led decisions and see their world through a more meaningful lens.
We ensure the representation of age, gender and ethnic diversity are questions often asked and principles readily empowered in the organisations we work with.
The representation of cultural identity, First Nations peoples and our effort to center our work and our attention on the people who truly matter within an organisation is present and prevalant in all engagements.
Our work ensures the presence and accountability of leadership in marketing efforts and the binding and symbiotic relationship marketing and culture have within organsiations.
A better world needs better leaders — fearless, adaptive and mindful. Leaders who are ready to learn new skills and create a new way. Leaders who aren't afraid to march first, rattle the cage and change the system — and these are the leaders we aim to impact.
