Mission Statement
Shifting the way we approach development — ensuring people and teams feel more resilient, confident, and sustained in their work.
Vision & Values
Rowan Strategies envisions a new & reimagined landscape where power is held differently. The constant in our work is that we strive to be a part of curious groups, conversations that matter, and courageous moments.
To achieve this vision we will provide structure & space for organizations and people to bring their best-selves and strengths to all of the work that they do. We prioritize spaces to assist in building awareness, taking ownership, and doing the work around DEIA.
We value…
We value curiosity as an essential trait that drives innovative, collaborative development of people and teams.
Our firm takes pride in being lifelong learners, constantly building and enhancing our knowledge on best practices in facilitation, coaching, trainings, and strategic consulting. We approach challenges with curiosity, while taking inspiration from both tried-and-true and unconventional perspectives alike.
By fostering an environment of curiosity, we believe that we can continuously learn and adapt our practice, staying ahead of the curve in a dynamic and ever-evolving national and global landscape.
Curiosity
Growth
We invest our time, energy, and capacity in the growth of people and teams. We believe that growth is not just about achieving milestones and hitting targets, but also incorporating personal and professional development into the work our clients do every day.
We work with our clients to encourage them to step outside their comfort zones, consider diverse perspectives, and embrace a mindset of continuous development. By leading with a growth-mindset, we empower people and teams to become catalysts for change, leading their organizations toward sustainable success.
Belonging
We embrace belonging as a core value in everything we do. We are committed to creating a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible (DEIA) environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to the table, without restriction.
We prioritize creating an inclusive space where leaders can foster a sense of belonging for their teams, cultivating an environment that values diversity in all its forms, which enriches all aspects of work and drives innovative solutions to complex problems.
By embracing belonging as a core value, we aim to fulfill words with action, creating lasting impact and driving positive change within organizations and communities.
Impact
We prioritize impact as a consideration. We believe in changing the way personal and political power is held to drive positive change and address systemic inequities.
We are dedicated to empowering people and teams to prioritize equitable practices in order to create a lasting impact that goes beyond individual, financial or organizational success. We’re conscious of the impact of alignment and mis-alignment with values, strengths, and goals.
We embrace courage as a force that defines our approach. We believe that leadership requires a willingness to take bold action in the face of uncertainty and adversity.
We believe leaders need the support and capacity to step outside their comfort zones to guide organizations and teams towards transformative change. We strive to foster resilient, visionary people and teams who have the courage to pursue the work that matters to them, which is always a little scary.
Courage
Strength(s)
We ascribe to celebrating who we are and how we naturally show up as human beings. We all have natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, and we uplift the unique Strengths that every individual brings to the table.
We often incorporate the CliftonStrengths assessment and coaching approach, recognizing that every person possesses talents and abilities that can be leveraged for personal and professional success. We help leaders identify and embrace their Strengths, building on their existing abilities to achieve their goals.
Every individual has the capability to maximize their potential, using the true north of what they naturally do best.
