Organizational Authenticity revives what organizational tension erodes

When who customers & colleagues believe your organization is (brand), who it really is (culture), and who it aspires to become (strategic vision) align with their values, this is Organizational Authenticity. 

This resonance between organization and individual is brand-strengthening, community-changing, company powering – and in high demand.

It’s what we’ll help you nurture.

Hey there, I’m Becky

I’m a cross-disciplinary leader with a background in people & culture, marketing, corporate citizenship, DEI, nonprofit leadership, community organizing, adult education, and horse + human development. Organizational Authenticity is my mission.

Here’s why: When we experience people as inauthentic it threatens connection. “I’m not buying what they’re selling.” When employees and customers experience organizations as inauthentic in their ambitions and disconnected from their values it does the same — building tension and promising dissatisfaction, or worse, disengagement.

My team and I work in partnership across organizations,

with all departments, to uncover behaviors, systems, and beliefs creating organizational tensions – because Organizational Authenticity requires, well, the organization. All of it.

We often find our solutions strengthen the following:

Leadership Potential, Purpose + Presence

Team Dynamics + Performance

People Experience, Culture + Brand

Corporate Citizenship Strategy + Engagement

Within seasons of uncertainty and ambiguity leaders, teams, and organizations need answers. But proximity to the tension can make unclear the wise ways through it.

Mergers + acquisitions. Rapid workforce expansion + contractions. New leadership coming + old leadership going. Moments of change can invite us into different and better. We’ll help you grow through them.

As people-first leaders, we begin by listening

Organizational tension has 6 predictable beginnings.

VALUES

“The organization does not care for and live my highest values.”

PURPOSE

“I am not doing work with meaning beyond money.”

VOICE

“My voice is not welcomed, respected, and influential.”

PROGRESS

“I am not able to make progress toward my goals as quickly as I’m able.”

VALIDATION

“I am not recognized for my successes and coached through my setbacks.” 

POTENTIAL

“My full potential is not made possible - and my full self is not sought.”

As organizational strategists, we study the strategy and compare its asks and promises with the colleague and customer experience. As brand & communications leaders we get to know the employer and customer brand, and search for incongruent values and messaging misalignments that confuse or contradict.

Milestones power progress,

toward the authentic organization you believe is possible.

One where managers and leaders know how to manage and lead. Where honest company communication with colleagues and customers gives them agency to decide and do. Where teaching, coaching, and mentoring are always – not afterthoughts. And software and systems are efficient. One were we take the time it takes to listen to customers, colleagues, and to community for guidance. An organization with moral and ethical standards that power the triple bottom line toward a thriving future.

Can you imagine that kind of organization?

  1. Problem statement(s) articulation

  2. People-centered tension exploration

  3. Structural and behavioral analysis

  4. Structural change planning

  5. Behavioral change teaching

  6. Brand (employer & customer) evolutions

  7. Program strategy & design

  8. Strategic plan evolution

Organizational Authenticity is measurable.

If you’re a leader pushing beyond ‘the way things have always been done around here’

A leader brave enough to lead work that will move beyond right-now profitability demands, and into a thriving future. A leader courageous enough to take together the next wise step — not just the next right one. A leader known for values like humility, curiosity, ingenuity, moral courage, collaboration, and equity.

Organizational Authenticity is yours to lead.
