As you create a work environment that fosters growth, relationships and impact, a community approach will make the difference.
We work with organizations to build a culture of connection and belonging, where employees feel valued, supported, and engaged.
Our approach is rooted in the idea that when employees feel connected to their team and the organization, they are more likely to be creative, self-motivated, and committed to their work.
Welcome to our people + culture development firm! We believe that every organization has the potential to be a great place to work — our clients are start-up and small companies with growing teams that want to establish or elevate their organizational culture.
Our mission is to help you achieve your full potential by fostering a culture of community and connection. Engaged and fulfilled employees are more creative, innovative, and invested in their success and yours.
Thirteen | The number 13 represents new beginnings, passion & self-expression.
Thrive | To grow, develop and flourish.
FEATURED IN
You recognize there’s a need for a different approach to employee engagement and people development — both within your organization and across your industry as a whole.
You’re altruistic, with a tendency to leave things better than you found them. The people who work with you are no exception, and if you could set an example for all the best workplaces — even better.
You know that with more impact, comes more responsibility. You’ve built something special; you want to see it thrive — and each person on your team, along with it — and you know that having connected and fulfilled people will make it happen.
Meeting major milestones and embracing a whole-human approach to success are both important to you — you want your team to feel like they’re a part of something with real impact, and maintain a connection to themselves, others and their work.
Our community-based approach prioritizes the needs and perspectives of employees and seeks to create a sense of ownership and collaboration in the workplace. The organization becomes a community where employees are active participants in shaping culture and driving positive change.

Someone’s experience at work is not mutually exclusive of achieving organizational goals (they’re actually related). You succeed together.
Today’s top talent wants to be impactful at work. Perks alone won’t help you stand out from the competition. A connected and meaningful employee experience and culture — will.
When people feel like they can come to work as their true selves, be seen, heard and valued for who they are and their work — that's when true community is created.
We coach your key leaders, and equip them to self-motivate, communicate and build great relationships with their team.
Build strong communities at work, for all.
BELONGING ◡ CONNECTION ◠ FULFILLMENT ◡ EXPRESSION
When employees feel connected to their workplace and to each other, they are happier, more engaged, and committed to their success & yours.
We work closely with you to understand your unique culture needs and challenges. Our community-based approach means we engage with employees and leaders to co-create solutions that are tailored to their specific goals and vision. We prioritize curiosity, inclusivity, empathy, and communication.
We help you make strategic decisions and see things in a different way through the incorporation of research, people data and trends assessments, and open-minded observation in all of our solutions.
