Welcome, friends of WorkHuman.
Hi friends! Here’s a quick video tour of this page. I look forward to meeting you, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
The last leadership training program you’ll ever need.
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that how we work together isn’t working.
The Refound System is a leadership program for everyone in your organization. Our proven system is centered on cultivating a culture where people GROW and STAY on purpose.
You’ve heard it all before…
You’ve tried all the programs, consultants, coaches and leadership retreats, yet nothing actually sticks. Everything sounds good and makes sense in the moment, but one week later you feel like you are back where you started.
You’re constantly putting out fires instead of doing the strategic ideation that will bring you closer to your benchmarks.
Work-life balance feels out-of-reach, but it’s critical for retention and results.
Your teams are working hard but still not living up to their productivity potential because they don’t have a framework for boundaries and delegation.
Accountability is lacking because there is no established practice for holding critical conversations the right way, at the right time.
You struggle with retention because “People don’t leave companies, they leave people.”
…but we have a solution.

So what needs to be present for lasting change in leadership?
Everyone in your organization needs to speak the same language, align on a shared vision for effective leadership behaviors, and have access to the resources and support that enable their growth within YOUR unique company culture. That’s why we built something different.
While there is no magic wand that will transform how people feel about their jobs overnight, there is a well-researched and proven pathway for making this a lasting change.
In our experience, 90% of leadership problems fall into what we see as three main challenges:
How a leader shows up to lead
How a leader sets expectations
How a leader coaches and supports through feedback
At Refound, we call these capabilities Good Authority, Good Alignment, and Good Accountability.
The Refound System is based on how those capabilities work together to create an environment where everyone is doing the right work, in the right way.
Good Authority
Uncover how you show up as a leader and apply our More Yoda, Less Superhero framework to create balance between your individual responsibilities and those of your team.
Good Alignment
Create clarity on your team by using our Soul of the Role process to improve alignment among your team members, so that you can support business objectives while simultaneously cultivating their personal and professional development goals.
Good Accountability
Share feedback without fear, hold people to their commitments, and support their growth using the Accountability Dial™, our framework for delivering feedback with compassion and curiosity.
What you do today matters more than ever.
When you get it right, your business can be a place where people feel energized and inspired, not drained, at the end of a workday. And that’s never been a more important selling point.
With COVID-19, increasing political divisions, remote work, broad mental health challenges, and economic anxiety, people need human connection more than ever.
They want to feel like they’re having an impact. They want to feel like their work matters. And they want to work somewhere where leaders and team members are held to the same standards.
There’s a world where what’s good for the business and what’s good for the humans who work there can co-exist. And we’ll help you make that possible.
So how do we get there?
One System.
Three Delivery Options.
Executives might benefit from a strategic thought partner. Managers might need help prioritizing their individual work and addressing underperformance. And new managers need support as they develop their unique approach to leadership.
