Networks
The most effective way to influence lasting positive change is through thriving networks.
Increasing Social Capital.
We help networks form, grow and thrive. We inter-connect network leader teams regionally and nationally to increase sustainability and performance.
What are networks?
Networks are a rising tide that lifts all boats. They are a relational-web of people bonded together through rational self-interest with a common focus. They help each other win, become friends, and advance the effectiveness of their mission. Here are some foundational reads in the science and craft of networks.
There are many kinds of networks. We like to use the Harvard Human Flourishing Index to categorize the networks we prioritize.
To simplify, we like to say that networks can be formed "wherever you live, work, worship and play, and for whom your heart breaks." Below is a non-exclusive list.
This is our running catalog and here are 1-minute posts that put some networks into full-screen.
Which network do you want to be a part of, are engaged with, or want to help form? Tell Us.

These networks take on many names and focuses. Let's help you find the kind of Geographical Network you are interested in stewarding or being a part of.
