The System & Soul Framework

Get Aligned, Healthy, and Effective in 90 Days

Running an efficient business is hard. Supporting growth and keeping your unique culture, values, and "soul" is even harder. But it's not impossible. Here's how. 

Don't just build a business for the sake of growth. Build it to grow with people.

We believe the most successful businesses grow for more than growth's sake. They have a purpose and know the value of building their businesses with people at their heart.

The challenge we see is that as most businesses grow, they need help dealing with increased complexity and the stress it puts on their people and processes.

Often, they lack the systems they need to support their growth, but they worry they will lose the “soul” of what makes their business unique as they scale if they don't keep their vision, values, and people at the center of it all.

We built the System & Soul framework to help leadership teams get aligned, healthy, and effective without losing their soul.

The System & Soul Journey

Gain Clarity, Control, and Breakthrough

The System & Soul Journey is recommended as two years of collaboration with a coach through our operating framework and tools. The framework is divided into three phases: Clarity, Control, and Breakthrough.

The Clarity phase focuses on onboarding the tools and best practices in the framework. It's three full days of learning over the course of one month.

The Control and Breakthrough phases represent a complete year-long cycle of Quarterly refuels and a two-day annual strategy session. Each engagement with our coaches is unique because we offer flexible and customized plans for our clients based on what they need most to achieve their goals.

Gain Alignment

It's challenging to accelerate results if the team is perpetually misaligned or confused about where they're going, why, and how to contribute.

The System & Soul Framework addresses this issue head-on. During your System & Soul Journey, you will evaluate areas of misalignment and address them directly—everything from people's roles in your organization to how teams execute plans weekly, quarterly, and annually.

Every 90 days, you will:

  • Tackle significant obstacles as a unified team.
  • Set your focus for the next quarter
  • Work together to build healthier team habits.
