Our Approach

We know the world you’re working in—fast-paced, resource-constrained, and driven by a mission that demands more than what’s always available. When your workplace culture isn’t working, it leads to burnout, disengagement, and high turnover—challenges no nonprofit can afford to ignore.

We’ve worked with nonprofit leaders to tackle these challenges head-on. We don’t do cookie-cutter solutions or endless workshops that go nowhere. We help you solve the real problems so your team feels valued and respected.

  • We’re not a business consulting firm, a recruitment agency, or HR consultants.

  • We’re not about only checking boxes or quick fixes to meet the bare minimum.

  • We’re not about temporary solutions, surface-level compliance, or one-off training sessions without follow-up.

Our work is for everyone—leaders, managers, and staff at all levels. Culture isn’t made at the top alone. Our team combines expertise in employment law and mediation with applied social psychology, and research, and data analysis. We bring actionable strategies grounded in science, practice, and the belief that culture is created every day by everyone in your organization.

We model and practice what we teach and follow the guiding principles set out in The Mariana Commitment.
