The days of cheesy ice breakers and formulaic leadership seminars are over.

People working together to set team goals

Today’s workplace requires agility and innovation. Passionate, cohesive teams only grow with focused development, and maintaining the right balance between trust and accountability is essential to stellar business outcomes.

For over a decade, organizations including Intuit, Whole Foods, Pinterest, and Dropbox have turned to us for a smart, results-oriented approach that creates lasting impact and value.

We understand how to get to the heart of your mission, values, and goals with tailored solutions that drive meaningful change for you and the people you serve.

Engagement is not enough.

No more outdated workshops that involve time management grids, the Sandwich Method, and 3 cups of coffee just to stay awake.

Say goodbye to awkward team-building sessions that feel more like involuntary group therapy than professional leadership training.

Don’t waste time on surface-level presentations that check a box, but fail to provide the skills and sustained behavior changes needed to move your business forward.

Our solutions nurture the healthy collaboration and inspired leadership needed to transform workplace challenges into exceptional performance.

We focus on authentic connection and measurable growth, rather than relying on rigid theories or fluff. 

And our partners see powerful results, including:

Showing up on Fortune’s 100 Best Places To Work List (and staying there)

Earning a reputation as industry leaders who attract and retain top talent

Focusing on a shared organizational vision that eliminates distractions and conflict

Harnessing the power of high-performing managers and teams to accelerate growth

Scaling their business and revenue without the typical growing pains

“The People Piece is phenomenal. They take you through a process of understanding and breaking down these topics you manage on a daily basis, then shed new light and bring new perspective. They are thoughtful, purposeful and truly intentional when speaking and engaging with the teams. They take the time to listen, and you can tell they personally want to see you succeed as much as you want to. Can't recommend them enough!”

We are experienced, emotionally intelligent, and committed to achieving remarkable outcomes for you and your organization.

The People Piece team and solutions are…

Outcome Driven

We do our homework and get results.

Our methods and systems are anchored in science and how people behave in the real world, and we’ve spent over a decade delivering actionable, evidence-based solutions that drive highly impactful change.

Human Centered

Our approach is rooted in integrity and emotional intelligence.

Rigid command-and-control and clichéd leadership formulas might work for training an AI, but not humans. We go beyond process models and checklists to teach leaders and teams how to trust one another, communicate openly, and care for themselves and others.

Rooted in Partnership

We’re not just another vendor or consultant.

We are reliable strategic partners who shape our efforts and outcomes to your organizational vision and development goals. We offer a trustworthy, experienced voice with original ideas, proven tools, and total dedication to implementing at the highest standards.

We incorporated those tools into a strategy which has included: identifying values-based leadership competencies; designing and sharing a set of 10 leadership toolkits; crafting and facilitating leadership summits for current and emerging leaders focused on skill building, inspiration, and reflection on legacy; working with a high-value business group to enable greater scale; and launching a grassroots, employee-led effort to engage Carollo employees in leadership development across each of its 50 offices nationwide.
