Hello!
We're researchers, writers, trainers, business partners and best friends! We have a history of being obnoxiously curious, which means we've always been interested in how and why people do what they do.
We believe that real and lasting change can only happen through understanding - and it is that principle that guides the work we do as trainers and authors.
We're huge nerds, sports fanatics, and Swifties, who fully embrace our status as Elder Millennials. We're excited to share our work with you!

Explore The Culture of Burnout
What is burnout?
Burnout is as American as apple pie, baseball, and the 4th of July.
Inside this best selling book is a breakdown of why your exhaustion and your burnout are not your fault. Pragmatic to its core, it also starts every reader on their own path to dismantle the culture of burnout and start working toward a culture of balance.
what are we working on now? ... our second book!
on Generations, Technology, and Belonging
Dig deeper into the new book ...
generations
Working, living with, and understanding different generations is one of our most common training topics for our clients. We have lots of new research into how generations work, and we believe that generation gaps are bigger now than ever before. Our book will take a unique approach to explaining everyone from Boomers to Zoomers.
our broken belonging
Humans are colony critters - we are supposed to live together in community. Our in-person communities have been gradually replaced by online forums. Recent research has shown this has had a severe impact on mental health outcomes (loneliness, depression, anxiety) and the development of meaningful relationships. Our work will take it a step further - explaining how all of this has broken our sense of belonging - to ourselves and each other.
technology
From the launch of the first iPhone in 2007 to the height of social media in 2013, we've been on a rollercoaster ride of technological developments. These devices and services have changed how we live, how we form relationships, and even how our brains work. Our research is following all these rabbit trails to get to the good, bad, and the ugly of all this tech.
social attention & the attention economy
We all carry pocket slot machines now. Our smartphones and the apps we have on them, are designed to grab and keep our attention. Because of this, most of our interactions online are also financial transactions. How has this intense competition for our attention changed how we live and work? We'll explain it all.
