Our client-partners are cross-industry leaders and teams in nonprofits, social enterprise incubators, paradigm-shifting philanthropies and global purpose-driven companies including B-corps.
WHY
Our agenda is wellbeing. The workplace needs to be reimagined as a place where wellbeing and creative potential - the two give rise to each other - can live and grow. And to do this, we need Healing Leadership which means 3 things:
what and who we consider to be leaders/leadership needs to become more whole
leaders need more wellbeing and access to their creative capacity
leaders need to hold space for the wellbeing of their people
HOW
Our approach is holistic. We bring play, creative healing practices, and a multidisciplinary lens to our work. Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions to modern neuroscience to embodiment and somatic practices to adult development psychology, restorative justice and mediation, we take an integrated approach that attends to our whole beings. Our work aims to enliven our holistic capacity to think, sense and feel.
WHAT WE DO
We partner with clients to enliven their agency to choose, commit to and practice growing their wellbeing and creative potential through:

OUR HISTORY
b*free was our response to the undeniable need to evolve the way we work. Founded in 2013, when over 50% the US laborforce was estimated to be on track to self-employment/freelancing & not employed in traditional jobs by 2020, we set out to understand why people were leaving workplaces & what they we seeking. What we learned informs our vision, theory & practice. Learn more about our history.
