Consulting

Values-Centered Is …
- Integrated Reality, not an Either-Or Mindset
- Holistic, not Siloed
- Interdependent, not Isolated
- Head and Heart Integration
- Human, not Artificial
- Intentionality requiring New Tools
BUSINESS CONSULTING
Tom Helps is most interested in consulting with businesses that identify as a social enterprise and with leaders seeking solutions for the next chapter of their career journey. Enterprises, both for-profit, and not-for-profit, carry a responsibility to create and pursue missions that reflect and protect the common good and best interest of all people and the planet, while also furthering performance and profitability aims. The Tom Helps team can help assess and report on key challenges and strengths in small to mid-size businesses through a values-centric lens.
At the heart of our consulting service is one’s values and how they influence who you are, how you can serve in the world, and how you can influence others as a leader. We have a course, The Seven Intentions of Values-Centered leadership, to help you get centered, focused, and effective.
Values should then extend into all aspects of the business: your culture, your brand identity, your products, your team make up, your strategy, and your implementation. A business consultation will be the best occasion to understand your needs and how best to help your goals. Through a structured agreement, Tom Helps can provide strategic recommendations.
Note: Tom Chappell and Tom Helps, LLC does not invest in enterprises, nor provide counsel on venture capital or private equity.
