Awareness, Alignment, & Action

The methodology behind our work focuses on the dynamic interplay between awareness, alignment, and action. Using a design-based approach, the focus is less on using these areas as steps in a process, but as co-equal catalysts to create forward momentum. When examining a question, we frame it as an opportunity to examine what you know, how this perspective aligns with the desired outcome, and what actions need to be taken to reach these goals.

The power behind this methodology is that it has the potential to introduce multiple dimensions in your problem solving. Instead of examining answers on a two-dimensional basis, we introduce all possibilities to examine so that you may feel empowered to make an informed decision that is right for you.

Identity as a Catalyst for Change

Many of us pause when asked,  “what do you want?” The mental calculations and “hidden” obstacles that we have to overcome both internally and the pressure from society to conform to a narrow view of success makes it challenging to answer those questions. Our work together empowers you to design sustainable strategies toward transformation that is in alignment with your values, cultural identities, and unique dreams. Understanding the power of societal dynamics and the importance of understanding your one’s unique voice can become a competitive advantage in today’s world.
