It is so nice to meet you.

It all started with a conversation at a coffee shop. Our colleagues across disciplines, across the non-profit and corporate sectors, all identified the same concerns. They wanted a workplace culture with strategic vision and empirically sound practices. They wanted leaders who effectively facilitated change and the opportunity to grow their own leadership potential. They wanted to talk about difficult topics at work but not in a way that isolated or alienated people. They wanted a workplace culture that valued them.

We knew this workplace could exist and we knew we could help create it. Out of this credence, we launched The Untenured Practitioners.
