Consulting

Our Core Philosophy

The Me.You.We. Framework is an innovative approach that integrates grief-informed principles with adaptive leadership practices. It addresses a critical gap in traditional change management by recognizing that all significant transitions, whether personal or organizational, involve elements of loss that require processing. Our mission is to empower individuals, teams, and systems to navigate these inherent grief processes, fostering sustainable adaptation, resilience, and transformative restoration. We believe that by honoring the human experience of loss, organizations can achieve more effective and compassionate change.

The Key Principles of the Me.You.We. Framework

  • We prioritize individual internal processing ("Me"), extend to interpersonal dynamics ("You"), and culminate in systemic adaptation ("We"). This counters the common practice of prioritizing system needs over individual grief, which often reduces change initiative success.

  • All interventions are grounded in a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of grief (death-related, non-death, collective, anticipatory) and its impact on individuals and systems.

  • We address the cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of individuals and the systemic health of organizations, equipping clients with tools to navigate uncertainty and emerge stronger.

  • Leveraging active, hands-on methodologies, including innovative tools like Lego® Serious Play®, to deepen insights, foster engagement, and accelerate practical application of learning.

  • Recognizing diverse processing styles, our approach offers multiple entry points for support, honoring both emotional expression (intuitive) and cognitive/behavioral action (instrumental) in adapting to change.

    • Beyond merely returning to stability, we aim for "Transformative Restoration," where individuals and systems emerge from transitions with new capabilities, deeper connections, and enhanced purpose, continuously validating the oscillation experience that impacts identity and roles.

  • We shift from reactive crisis management to proactive strategies, designing solutions that create lasting positive change and embed new, grief-informed capabilities within the client's ecosystem.
