Let’s do bold work together.
The Bold Work Collaborative is a strategy and communications consultancy working at the intersection of organizational equity, culture, and social impact.
The time for business as usual is over. We don’t have to follow the rules that patriarchy, white supremacy, and late stage capitalism have taught us. We can work in ways that are heartful — with compassion and reverence for employees and community. We can work in ways that are bold — in strategy, in process, and in organizational structure. We can work in ways that are impact-focused — with meaningful, new ways of measuring success.
Together, we can redefine work.
Our mission is to lead organizations on their path to being more heartful, bold, and impact-focused.
We’ll treat your organization like the living, breathing system that it is.
Our work exists in three broad categories, but the magic happens when we seek connectivity between them.
Organizational Strategy & Design
Let’s get to the heart of who you are and why you exist. Want to up your social impact? Need help figuring out some culture or process challenges, or embarking on a strategic plan? We are here for that. >>
Employee Experience & Engagement
We want to talk candidly about equity and inclusion, and how you can build a resilient workplace by reimagining the employee experience. >>
Strategic Communications
We’ll help you tell your story and make your mission, vision, and values shine through in all your communication. >>
We partner with organizations that need a hand moving the needle toward a more progressive way of doing business, and a strategy for sharing their vision with others.
We use design thinking and a systems-first approach to strategy, operations, and communications.
Believe in the value of a strong design concept.
It keeps us grounded when things inevitably start to feel muddy, and provides a foundation to continually refer back to as decisions are considered. In our strategy work, that “design concept” is found in the language of mission, vision, and values. Our starting point is unearthing and defining (or refining) your unique mission, vision, and values — which will serve as our north star for whatever work follows.
What you say, and how you say it, matters.
All of our work — whether it’s organizational design, strategic planning, or employee engagement — comes with a strong backbone in communications. An effective communications strategy can only come from a place of deep understanding of people, history, and cultures, which is why we see all of these systems as interconnected. We use our knack for understanding people — in the fullness of their humanity — to intuit how changes or information might be received. We let that understanding inform and influence processes and decisions.
We don’t do marketing without the substance, and we don’t create the substance without considering marketing.
We work from a place of honesty, transparency, and genuineness, and we don’t lose sight of our ideals even when things get hard. We’re led by our desire for lifelong learning, challenging assumptions, and evolving. We collaborate because we believe that the best work happens in community with others. We’re motivated to make change in the world, and to contribute our expertise toward better living through better ways of working.
Our work is shaped by our organizational values of integrity, growth, collaboration, and contribution.
A values-first leader
