For 10 years, I lived my passion for people and culture development off the side of my desk. When I got laid off from my corporate job in July 2018, I decided to take another look at what was really holding me back…

My greatest strength is helping others find solutions and build strategies to reach highest capacity.

Laura Sukorokoff

My aim, coming out of business school, was to take the marketing world by storm. However, my first “real” job had other plans for me, and I found myself designing and delivering training to employees…

Orsolya Torokne Bus

Orsolya is committed to inspiring people to achieve a healthier and happier life through a Kundalini Yoga practice.

Rachel Halldorson

During my finance undergrad, I was involved in putting on networking and social events.

I quickly realized that it was necessary to exude “male” characteristics – such as competitiveness and overpowering group conversations, which I loathed…

Sweta Rajan

Five years ago I was let go from the best job I’d ever had. I knew my career as a scientist had also come to a close.  There I was in my mid-thirties with no idea of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life…

Tiffany Elsener

I’ve touched 7 continents, experienced 30+ countries, worked abroad in 5 countries and learned lessons that come from continually pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

Vanessa Luu

Late in 2017, I had a plan to host an event that would connect a small group of people for deep conversations on social impact, corporate culture, and purpose. 14 people signed up and not one person showed.

I was in fight or flight mode – maybe this job isn’t for me, maybe I’m not meant to do this, maybe I’m not good enough…
