The HSA approach to organizational development and team building

Teams and organizations evolve, just as people do. At the core of all teams and leaders are four perspectives that integrate individual and collective (who I am and who we are), and internal and external experiences (what I do and what we do).

H S A learning and development programs aim to create welcoming places where we can bring our whole selves to work, build trust and autonomy, and have clarity of vision, purpose, and responsibility so that we can flourish together.

We use person-centered approaches, compassion practices, and self-management strategies to strengthen each of the four quadrants below.

  • What matters to me?
