“If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more…
You are a Leader.”

 

John Quincy Adams

“Simplify. Look within. Within ourselves we all have the gifts and talents we need to fulfill the purpose we’ve been blessed with.”

 

Steve Maraboli

“Courage starts with showing up
and letting ourselves be seen.”

REVOLUTIONIZING THE WORLD OF WORK

First You is a people-centered approach to leadership that is exclusively FOR PEOPLE ON PURPOSE.

FOR EVERY PROFESSIONAL

Who chooses to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Who knows the value of their worth exceeds the limits of milestones, metrics, and productivity measures. For every leader, regardless of level, who wants to fall in love with their company over, and over, and over again. Who knows that bringing their best selves to work is a choice, not a promise.

FOR EVERY CORPORATION

Who actively strives to elevate people as the engines towards growth. Who faithfully develops programs, initiatives, and campaigns to develop and engage their work force. Who wants to harness fatigue, grit, creativity, and innovation as equal, yet different, sources of premium fuel. Who knows that a connected and talented team is mightier than a shiny new product, service, or project.

OUR SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY

The exceptional results of any collective, company, or community,
are fueled by the influence of engaged individuals.
Impact is achieved people-first.

FIRST, THE PERSON…

Beginning with the individual nurtures strengths, values, and purpose that inspires engagement.

THEN THE TEAM…

Collaboration, accountability, and community are fostered by new skills, perspectives, and practice.

THEN THE COMPANY.

Innovation, performance, and legacy become sustainable results; born from a culture influenced by each person.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH

We employ an inside-out model in our work to help clients
reveal values, amplify strengths, and inspire impactful change that endures.

PEOPLE

There is no greater influence on innovation, culture, and productivity than people. So we focus on them first.

PASSION

When greater awareness informs conscious choices, leaders foster accountability, engagement and results.

PURPOSE

Clearly articulated values, beliefs, and strengths help to fuel awareness, participation and verve.

PERFORMANCE

Empowered people, who are energetically bought into a mission that matters, produce sustainably.

OUR LEADERSHIP EXPERTS

We expertly serve corporate stewards and their teams,
who are committed to delivering purpose-driven performance.
