“A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.”

— Roy H. Williams

WISDOM =  Insight + Knowledge + Experience

We find it perplexing that most of the jobs people are doing today didn’t even exist 10-15 years ago yet, we continue to train them the same way. Values, ideals - what people need to be happy in their jobs are far different than they were even one short decade ago. Few organizations are tackling the challenge of training their teams to keep current with what matters to their people. Often times it’s because they aren’t sure themselves.   Leadership is being pulled in fifty directions that they don’t take the time to really focus on where true innovation and leadership come from.  

That’s where we come in. We give organizations the roadmap to boost their innovation potential which can be the catalyst to discovering things they didn’t know were possible about both their business and their biggest assets - their people. We provide a systematic framework to understand what innovation is, why it matters, how it can be managed and how it can help your organization to reach its objectives.

Do You Know Where The Wisdom Is?  

What is the Essential Wisdom Collective?  A simple concept that many minds are better than one. The fascinating thing about wisdom is that you need knowledge, insight and experience to gain it.  We believe there is wisdom in numbers.

Our collective is a group of people with a passion for pushing the envelope of human development. Helping people become the greatest interpretation of themselves.  

We tap into a group of thinkers and doers who are not afraid to look at sensitive and real topics such as gender transition, feeling like an impostor or how to listen.

We have access to subject matter experts on virtually any topic and the creativity to make their expertise impactful.  We partner with organizations to create purpose driven teams and sustainable companies who understand that their people make them not only successful, but sustainable.  

Let's get wise.
