What do you mean, “best work”?
Your best work is the work you were made for.
Your best work opens opportunities to develop your strengths.
Your best work drives your best results, visible and invisible.
Your best work supports you living your best life.
Your best work is your contribution to the people and systems around you.
Why “Stand On Your Head”?
The yoga headstand is considered an advanced pose, but it isn’t that physically challenging – it’s mentally challenging. Most yogis need support to build the self-trust they need for the headstand.
We offer that type of support – for work.
Being upside down changes everything. That’s the level of perspective shift we need right to build up people and workplaces.
We advocate for big change – including more fluid career paths and more human workplaces.
What do we stand for?
- We stand for self-understanding as the first step to personal development and career fulfillment.
- We stand for every human knowing and doing the work they were made for.
- We stand for every human getting to do their best work.
- We stand for empowering people to follow their calling.
- We stand for less hierarchical workplaces and more mutual respect for individual contributions.
