We are.

how we gather.

We grow cultures. We catalyze good organizations into world class leaders in teamwork, morale, and innovation; schools and workplaces so compelling that new hires would move across the country for the chance to contribute to and benefit from such an environment.
We envision a world where it is well understood that our way of engaging in twos, threes and groups, determines everything. In this world, workplace dynamics is not an afterthought, but the primary competitive advantage for attracting and retaining the best possible people.
We make no attempt to hide our prejudice. Ours is a bias toward group etiquette; how members of a team interact with one another.
The Frame Changers approach 1.] focuses on the shapes that groups of your people take on different occasions and 2.] makes micro-adjustments to those configurations to achieve macro-gains in the energetics and morale of the institution at large.

Organizational Constellation Work

Go deeper than strategy, faster than facilitation.
After this, the old way of running off-sites will feel like playing house.

Originating in Germany in the 1990s, the work draws from family systems therapy and indigenous wisdom, particularly the Zulu approach to ancestral “maintenance”. The modality views those challenges so often understood as “personal”, through a multi-generational lens. In this way, personal problems are revealed instead as systemic entanglements to be honored and worked with.
Clients are led either individually or in a group setting by a facilitator; appointing representatives to stand as family members or elements of the family system. Arranging representatives in physical space, invites them to speak, move, and interact. Invisible intergenerational patterns and hidden loyalties are brought into sharp focus, widening the client's perspective and exposing previously unseen solutions.
