Work With Us

what it's like to work with us

We're serious folks, but we don't take ourselves seriously. Business can be hard, its problems sometimes feel insurmountable, its stresses seemingly limitless. So, let's tackle your conundrums with a bit of humor, a slice of chill, and a dash of "it will all be OK."

​

We believe all our clients have the right to have fun, the right to make money, and the right to be treated as a friend. 

​

Trusted and highly referred by clients, we believe empathy instills understanding, focus ensures effectiveness, and authenticity enables resolution. Along the way, we make it easy and fulfilling for C-level executives to resolve pesky conundrums. There are a trillion business growth consultants in Atlanta - we are not like any of them. Working with us is an experience like no other, rife with honest reflection, replete with crisp recommendations, and ripe with tangible and meaningful value.

​

Promise

A promise in business is rare these days, but we have one. We stand behind the quality of our work. We promise to be competent and caring in all the relationships and goals we pursue. If our counsel is followed and we haven’t achieved the objectives we’ve agreed upon, then we  think it only fair to get a chance for a “do-over” to make it right. If we still can’t get it done, then we’ll return your money.

 

While we work on difficult or tension-laced issues, we'll do our level best to keep it light, to stay focused on the goal, and to get it resolved.  We're not "drive-by" consultants, but "dive in" adjuncts to your team. Period.

our PROMISE

Confidentiality

CONFIDENTIALITY

To address issues and ultimately resolve them, trust and safety are essential. That's why we emphasize confidentiality in all of our engagements. Hey, if what happens in Vegas can stay in Vegas, we're pretty sure we can keep what happens in our engagements close to the vest. 

Community

community

commitment

We're Georgia-born and Georgia-bred, which means we care deeply about our community.  While we've lived and worked all around the country, we chose to return to the place we call home.

 

Helping Atlanta area institutions prosper is how we add value and give back.  A few of the organizations we've worked with are listed below.

The Georgia Conservancy

YMCA

Georgia Southern University

Buckhead Business Association

Hands on Atlanta
