Lay the GroundWork
For Work that works for you

GroundWork is our signature program designed to help you define and orient to meaningful and fulfilling work.

It’s a professional development course. It’s a personalized mentoring program. It’s a membership into a community of incredible humans. Most of all, it will give you everything you need to cultivate an aligned relationship with work.

  • Define what matters to you in work.

  • Clarify your purpose and values.

  • Design a roadmap of how to live in alignment.

  • Do it all with the loving support of our Mentors & community.

The Blocks

GroundWork includes five themes of experiential exercises, introspections, and helpful resources to help you build awareness and incorporate strategies to humanize your work.

At the end of the process you'll have a personalized work "blueprint" to map out work that works for you.

  • This Block builds awareness around what you need personally when it comes to work.

    We'll explore who you are, take inventory of your strengths and skills, assess your communication and feedback styles, and begin to identify how you can set yourself up for success in work.

  • The Team | Work Block explores how you operate best in a team setting, who you have in your support network, and how to have meaningful interpersonal conversations.

  • The Valued | Work Block is focused on building awareness around the value you place on work and its reciprocity.

    We will explore your relationship with money and the vision for your financial future.

  • Structured | Work is where the rubber meets the road. We will work to identify and implement the structures and systems that you need in a healthy and productive work environment. We will optimize your workflow, identify your natural work cycles, and set clear boundaries and permissions with your work.

  • The Aligned | Work Block ties it all together into your final Blueprint and Roadmap for fulfilling work.

Let’s talk $

Actually, Let’s talk value & reciprocity.

We desire to make all of our programs accessible and reciprocal. We also recognize that access to financial resources can be a barrier to this work.

Many of our clients are experiencing financial challenges—some are starting businesses and don’t have free capital, and others may have abundance while still unfulfilled in their work.

Therefore, we price our programs based on the value we believe we create and offer customized pricing options to create additional access to our work.

Work that
works for you.

“GroundWork made me think about things that I would have never thought about, but that have become the core of my decision making. The experience is unlike any other.”

—Dr. Amy Frugé | Converge Physical Therapy

The Nitty Gritty

  • The only prerequisite to GroundWork is a genuine willingness to explore the depths of your relationship to work.

  • As an intensive program, GroundWork does necessitate available time and emotional capacity, but it is designed to fit within the life of a work working human.

    We ask participants to consider their own time and capacity before registering.

  • GroundWork and human–work alignment are significant endeavors and do require a level of commitment.

    We ask participants to intentionally commit to the entire program, attend all sessions, and fully complete the exercises.

    That said, we are all human and understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session we can work with you to catch up.

    We also never want to box anyone into something that doesn’t fit for them. If you genuinely feel GroundWork isn’t right for you, you may choose to step away with no penalty. We simply ask for good faith reciprocity for value received beyond your deposit.

  • We utilize an online e–course platform and for all guided exercises, scheduled events, and cohort communications.

    Cohort sessions are hosted via Zoom, and Mentoring sessions have options for zoom, phone call, or if circumstances allow, in person meetings.

    A downloadable/printable workbook via Google Docs is also utilized to facilitate introspection.

  • Once you enroll in the program we will first send you an automated confirmation. This is simply for your reference.

    A week prior to the launch of the cohort, we will formally invite you into the program portal and introduce you to the cohort. From there it’s smooth sailing.

    Plus, as long as you are a Member of Human|Work, you'll get continued access to all of the GroundWork resources, alumni events, & discussion forum to help you stay integrated and aligned.

  • Good question! We’ll start by telling you what it’s not:

    • a one–size fits all approach to how to start or run a business (that’s impossible).

    • a snake–oil program that promises to make you rich, happy, or good looking.

    • a quick fix for a crappy job, a recent layoff, or a failing venture. Or, a quick fix for anything really.

    Here’s what GroundWork is:

    • a deep, soul search for what work you can’t not do (no, that’s not a typo)

    • whole–human alignment in your purpose, values, and the expression of the work that works for you.

    • community support in the practice of human–work alignment.

    • a series of really fun exercises, inspirational resources, and functional tools

    • so much more!

  • If you still have questions about GroundWork, don’t fret, most folks do. We are happy to find a time to chat with you about whether GroundWork will be a good fit for you.
