Uncover and amplify them in all situations with all people.

Track, measure, and celebrate the most meaningful indicators and metrics correlated with expansion, cultural growth, and success. 

Our Philosophy

"Power Under" Culture. Invest, develop, and support your teams and your engagement, productivity, and culture will explode (in all the positive ways).

Typical business structures are “Power Over”, meaning they are extractive and exploitative. Don’t believe us? How many times have you read articles, overheard leaders, and even said yourself, “how can we get more out of our employees?!” “Do more with less” has been the name of the game. But this stifles productivity, creates competitive rather than collaborative cultures, and assures your team will commoditize your business just as they feel commoditized; they will leave your organization the moment a higher salary is available elsewhere.

Power Under leadership focuses on developing and caring for the wellbeing of the team at every level, helping and empowering them to become the next best version of themselves, personally and professionally. They will leave their current positions better than they entered them, documenting and imparting the wisdom they gained in the position to the next person. Turnover decreases, engagement increases, the culture becomes collaborative and supportive.

When people are well; they do well.

Power Under Culture behaves like a geyser rather than a dam, creating abundance in all forms and putting the zero-sum game to rest.

*Platinum rule – treat others how they want to be treated.

My Loves

Here are a few fun facts about what drives me when I’m not teaching you to have it all:

My husband and daughters are the joy of my life. Marriage is great, wonderful work, and every day we seek ways to lift each other up and serve each other. As a parent, I love watching my daughters succeed in what they enjoy. Intentionally building deep relationships with them and being a part of their journey as they become strong, self-assured, independent women is a joy like none other. 

 I’ve always had a healthy love of exercise and was a gymnast growing up. I took up bodybuilding in my 30’s because I love seeing what my body can accomplish and bodybuilding is one way I could push it to its limits. What excites me the most is that the culture of bodybuilding has provided a space to express strength in body and mind. 

 I am obsessed with reading great books that inspire, encourage, and ignite me to better myself and my surroundings. On average, I read one book per week. The pursuit of personal growth is at the heart of who I am, and so if you’re ever looking for a great book on a specific topic, I will always have a recommendation for you.  

Our Approach

To be a change agent that helps Minnesota create a flourishing economy that is fueled by cultural interdependence, and one which fosters equitable communities where we courageously live our strengths, leverage the strengths of others, and lift each other up as we rise.
