The Healing Power of Pressure
Organizations, like the human body, experience pain. And like the human body, that pain can be alleviated by locating and applying pressure to specific points.Over our decades of experience working with organizations, from small to enterprise, we've identified and mapped FOUR Pressure Points that address nearly every ache and pain of the modern work environment.
The Pressure Points
Clarity
You wouldn't believe how many of the problems organizations deal with are rooted in a lack of clarity. From mismatched expectations to vague instructions, a lack of clarity can sink a team's alignment.The most difficult part of this pressure point is that it's not always clear where the problem is hiding. We find it and apply the right amount of pressure to move you from confusion to clarity.
Collaboration
Everything about how a team works together will dictate its results. Collaboration includes communication styles, conflict resolution, accountability, autonomy, and even leadership.We work with individuals and teams to identify what's missing so we can help your organization apply the right amount of pressure to get everyone moving in harmony.
Systems
Whether it's the tools you use or how you use them, your systems play a vital role in dictating how work gets done, or whether it even does.As strategists and technologists, we're able to see the big picture and hidden connections stopping teams from moving efficiently and effectively.Once we see what's not working, we show you the different places to apply pressure to simplify your tools, spur adoption, and get everyone working in unison.
Utilization
In a finite world, every organization will bump up against the constraints or time and money. Failing to effectively manage for constraints on time, energy, and resources has a compounding negative effect.We look at how organizations manage their time, energy, and allocation of people to see if it's on the path to improvement or disaster.An organization that applies the right pressure across resources can sustain excellence instead of picking up the pieces.

About Sarah and Jeff
In 2011, Sarah hired Jeff's agency. Shortly after, she started calling Jeff her "Business Best Friend." They worked together for more than a decade and when the pandemic hit in 2020, both made a career pivot.
The pair began working together, building productivity systems in Asana, and doing workshops. After scaling the company into the mid six-figures in only a few months, they knew they'd stumbled onto something magical.
Now, they combine their unique areas of expertise to help organizations be more productive, invest in their teams, and scale up while having a great time doing it.
In a given week, Jeff might be advising a company on brand strategy, teaching leadership to new managers, or mapping out technology integrations. And Sarah might be traveling to her next Keynote, helping the c-suite have better meetings, or helping her team dominate their day.
