Starting a business is one thing. Growing a sustainable business enterprise is another. We’re people and organization-focused business advisors who help companies get, grow, engage, and manage talent, starting with the executive team.
For small to mid-sized companies, we place “fractional” and interim HR executives at the executive table to stabilize, organize, de-risk, and level-up their human capital strategies and practices. We’re not consultants. We add an HR exec to your team to fill a gap you may not realize exists. Once there, our advisors bring their corporate experience to help the company develop and execute strategies, policies and processes that are the foundation for profitability and a successful exit. All of this is done at the level that is just right for the client’s business – whether that is just a couple of hours a week or up to 20-30 hours a week.
We also are the company behind ReVrb Leader Hubs™ - an invitation-only leadership development platform for top talent who are preparing to elevate and fulfill their professional and leadership potential. The experience features a unique and potent combination of assessment, executive coaching, peer group-based action learning and peer coaching. Think of it as a personal board of directors for non-CEO’s. We assemble leaders in similar positions from across industry and from within a functional profession (like sales, marketing, HR or finance) to form a Hub. The Hub is there to provide insight, feedback, support, and – most importantly – accountability. Info @ https://www.linkedin.com/company/revrb-leader-hubs/
