How it all started

Re-imagining Work & Life

When Brea Starmer was laid off during her pregnancy, instead of retreating, she resolved to find a better way – for her & others like her. She set out on a path to create a new set of conditions in which individuals could thrive on their terms & alongside a community.

Vision

To be a force for systemic
work evolution.

Mission

Co-designing a more human and valued work experience advancing impact, access & belonging.

Our Values

These values are more than words on paper, they are a decision-making framework that we apply across our business relationships as we hold ourselves accountable.

Community

We come together in collective action to nurture a community that lifts one another up and prioritizes economic access & representation. Together, and with intention, we achieve more than we ever will alone.

Impact

Entrepreneurs at our core, we care deeply and take ownership for how we show up in the world. Individually and in community, we operate in highest & best use, measuring success in outcomes not output.

Stewardship

We believe in service plus advocacy. It is with great responsibility that we leverage the resources of our clients’ investments in us and our own corporate dollars to leave all things better than we found them.

Courage

With determination and resilience, we lead. True to our word, emphatic in our actions. Our stride is long and heads are held high, as we push the boundaries of what is accepted in pursuit of what is possible.
