BE-DO-HAVE

At Evolution, we believe in business as a force for change in the greater world. We know that deep change comes from an understanding of what drives the actions that support the results of the business. To create long-lasting transformation, a shift in beliefs has to be supported by a shift in behaviors with rigorous accountability. We call it Be-Do-Have.

Self as Instrument

At Evolution, all of our coaches are committed to doing their own work and self development so that we can show up as our most intentional, present, and committed selves to support you through your development. Our ability to help you develop as a leader is just as important as our own process of developing as a human.

I-WE-IT

The nature of “why the business exists” is rooted in value creation, not profit. We believe that developing consciousness at all levels of the organization: the individual (“I”), the relational (“We”), and the procedural and structural (“IT”) is the key to driving outstanding and sustainable results for all of a company’s stakeholders.

DEIS

Evolution seeks to create a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. We are a community of people who share similar values. Chief among these values is a willingness to do our own work in the realm of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Sustainability (DEIS) individually, as a community, and through the work we do.

Breadth

Our team of coaches and consultants have worked with and at some of today’s most iconic organizations. All Evolution coaches have extensive training and a commitment to sustainable and deep client growth. We believe mastery is continuously practiced and new learning further enriches the craft.

Depth

We encourage our coaches and clients to deeply inquire within, to create an understanding of who they have been, who they are, and who they are becoming. This means facing the shadow, family of origin patterns, understanding our personality, and looking at the narratives in our lives. This journey can be fraught with anxiety and sometimes pain, but the result is always a better, more complex version of ourselves.

The Importance of Co-Founder Alignment for Business Success

From Shareholders to Stakeholders

Fifty years ago, Milton Friedman championed 'shareholder primacy,' but today's evolving business ethos suggests serving a broader circle of stakeholders is paramount. Life, larger than business, demands that companies be of service not just to shareholders but also to workers, customers, communities, and the planet. This shift challenges businesses to realign their impact, ensuring they serve all stakeholders ethically and sustainably, redefining success beyond mere profits.
