Culture Matters
in every enterprise
(and families are teams, too)
3 years experiential and immersive learning ~ living, traveling , and working abroad ~ here's what we learned...
Wherever you go, there you are...
In 2016, we stepped out of a 20-year corporate career (with the same company, that's how you know we're old school) to travel the world, to live and work abroad, and to reconnect with our extended-family while deepening our bond as a nuclear family. We would eventually recalibrate our entire perspective on life, community, occupation, and culture.
We learned a lot along the way - hundreds, maybe thousands, of lessons, big and small. Too many to recount. And yet, a pattern emerged, of integrated principles for learning and development, for leadership and life. Principles which are universal, whether you are working with students or professionals, leaders or laggards. They work for personal growth, too.
what kind of journey are you on?
” We will arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. ”
While our slow journey focused on guiding and directing, teaching and developing our own children, we realized that the principles underlying the process were the same as when working with teams and enterprises, professionally or in community.
Learning and development, growth and change, culture and communication, leadership and lessons for life. It was all there, signaling to us.
Discovering in our personal journey this universal thread was incredibly gratifying. Like delving into the unknown only to find yourself anew.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Cultural Advocacy
We are journeyors at heart. We identify as a traveling family, as educators, as corporate sabbatical-takers, and at the end of it all, as cultural advocates.
Cultural advocacy is how world-class cultures are fostered and sustained. Culture is the foundation of growth along any journey - personal, familial, educational, community, professional.
If you are leading a team or enterprise that is preparing for change, or that needs to recalibrate, or reinvigorate, its culture, we can help.
