The Collaborative |
Welcome toWelcome to The Collaborative! |
The Collaborative exists to create and cultivate the conditions for every member to thrive in their consulting journey. We do so by fostering meaningful connections, promoting collaboration, and building community. We are a community of full and part-time independent consultants who are committed to mission-driven work. |
Our Core Values & Beliefs |
Abundance
We enthusiastically embrace abundance. Our members wholeheartedly believe there is more than enough work for everyone.
Collaboration
We do not enter this space as competitors but rather as collaborators and connectors, opening up doors of access and opportunity to each other.
Community
We are independent contractors, but we do not have to be alone. Our members serve as each other's coworkers and community - commiserating and celebrating with each other. We equally give and receive - if we need help, we ask for it. If we have help to give, we share it.
