Aligning the Misaligned

Helping businesses, and the people in them, flourish.

Our Why

Our purpose is to "Align the Misaligned". When the business systems aren't aligned, symptoms pile up and it becomes overwhelming. Emails, people problems, not executing, changing market conditions and a bank account that never seems to fill up the way you thought it would... All of that is just issues piling up - It can feel like drinking through a fire hose. When issues pile up, you feel like you can't gain traction and often feel like you're drowning. When you started your business (or, took over the business), you never thought it would be this hard.

At Evolve, we coach leaders to implement the Five Facets of Business™ to align the five major facets of their business - Culture, Strategy, Operations, Story, and Finance. When these systems are aligned, it gives leaders the time and energy they need to crush both short and long-term goals and reclaim their time.

Alignment is the target, flourishing is the outcome.

When business leaders have a system that works
the business and the people in it FLourish.

Evolve Leadership Consulting Values

If you engage with anyone at Evolve, you might hear us use the term "LEAP." We may say this as a call to action, to invite you to stop hemming and hawing, and simply LEAP into action.

Leverage Tension

Great organizations recognize and embrace tension to further growth. It's the tension where the opportunities are. At Evolve, we look for the tension and turn toward it, not away from it.

EARN TRUST

Relationships work well when both parties agree to meet more than halfway. We don't assume trust, we actively seek to earn it by saying what we do and doing what we say.

ADD VALUE

Profound leadership is rooted in a spirit and commitment of making things better. If we're not making it better, or if we can't see how to make it better, we'll be the ones to walk away.

Pursue Purpose

If you don't know why you're doing your work, there's no energy. We are committed to keeping purpose, our why, at the forefront of what we do and we are committed to bringing energy in the pursuit of
our purpose
