You don’t have enough time – and neither does your team.
You’re running as fast as you can. Your team members put in extra time. And you still can’t get everything done. Burnout and staff turnover make it even more difficult to catch up. How do you get to all the things you should be doing?
Despite trying to make work better, you still aren’t where you know you could be.
Your team members are frustrated with flavor-of-the-month bandaids. You may be checking off boxes, but those boxes aren’t moving you forward. And you definitely aren’t making the impact you signed up to make.
The only way to thrive is to deliberately choose what you do and what you don’t do.
Center your business on value
•
When you’re clear on the value you deliver, you can make deliberate choices about what gets your time because you know the point of your actions. And the value you deliver is distinct from other businesses. You’re doing something specific for a specific group of people to help them experience specific value.
Now you can make the most of your time.
You have one team working in one direction. They understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. They test their choices and only continue with the actions that deliver value. They also know they’re part of one team. They get value out of their work and feel valued while doing it.
"This process...has changed our culture."
“This process has allowed us to see more than a strategic plan and has changed our culture. Our staff can see their work is appreciated and how it contributes to the big picture. Their voices are heard and they are learning about each other. They own this process and drive us forward with their extremely valuable ideas.”
— Lexie Vean, Chief Communications and Engagement Officer, The Water Research Foundation
Hi, I'm Katie
I hate wasting time. My focus is to help you make the most of yours not by making you more efficient, but by making you more effective — and ensuring your clear on your value in the first place.
Making better choices starts with asking better questions.
We start by asking, “What’s the point? What’s the distinct value that you exist to deliver?” We then provide the structure, facilitate the process, and ask the right questions — you, as a team, choose what you do and how you do it.

Are you a leader on a distributed team who knows that your business delivers value? Are you at an inflection point that will require you to make changes across the board? Do you believe that with the right focus, approach, and support, your team could do even better work?
Then we’re the partner and advocate to help you bring that transformation about.
