Who is The Bold Work Collaborative?
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 your organization on its path to being more heartful, bold, and impact-focused.
We’re the ones you come to when you want to think bold and future forward, and not sound like everyone else.
The Heartful Strategist
A little bit rabble rouser, a little bit bleeding heart, and a whole lot change maker.
Audrey Alverson
Founder & Principal Consultant
My professional work in design, marketing strategy, and communications began to merge with my identity as an activist and advocate for equity and human rights over a decade ago, and there’s been no looking back.
For well over 15 years, I have worked in marketing, strategic communications, journalism, corporate social responsibility, and organizational strategy – with an extra dash of people and culture initiatives sprinkled throughout. It’s the integration of all these perspectives that informs and shapes my work: My deep understanding of people and how they receive information, coupled with my ecosystem approach, guides me to craft human-centric communications and organizational designs that are not your standard fare.
Today, I am on a mission to help organizations clarify, define, and live by their own missions and values. I work from the inside out and the outside in, where strategies for communications, marketing, organizational design, and workplace culture are treated as interdependent systems. This way of working gives me a holistic perspective on what a successful organization looks like and behaves like — both from the outside and the inside.
My work is deeply influenced by organizational psychology, social change theory, and DEI principles. I’m a forever learner in these disciplines and more.
We don't just fix your problems. We create transformational change, for real impact.
