You Built the Vision. We Help You Build the Team to Match It.

You don’t have to do it all. We help growth-minded leaders build teams aligned with their vision—teams that scale profitably without losing sight of purpose.

HEY, WE ARE WORK ETHOS

  

We're not your average consultants, and that's kind of the point. 

Work Ethos is a powerhouse team with over 50 years of combined experience helping leaders like you communicate better, grow faster, and enjoy the team they work with.


We’ve walked into chaotic staff meetings, misaligned org charts, and burned-out leadership—and walked out with clarity, connection, and momentum.

We’re allergic to ego, addicted to breakthroughs, and genuinely love what we do (and who we do it with).

You’ll catch us laughing in meetings, high-fiving progress, and geeking out over the perfect org chart. Because we believe transformation doesn’t have to be stiff—it can be fun, freeing, and wildly effective.


Work should feel like a team sport—not a solo act. Let’s build something great together.

Your business was never meant to be a burden—it was meant to be a team effort fueled by purpose.

TAKE THE
ASSESSMENT

The Work Intelligence Index is a quick but powerful tool that reveals where your leadership, team, or systems are breaking down—and why you're stuck doing it all. It’s the first step toward building a self-managing team. It offers a clear window into the proven framework we use in our paid services to help overwhelmed founders step into confident, strategic leadership.

TESTIMONIALS

"The Work Ethos’s tools and systems gave us clarity."

“As the sole licensed surveyor and founder, I had become the bottleneck. I was overwhelmed, and it was stifling our growth and cash flow. Revenue had plateaued, and I felt stuck! The Work Ethos’s tools and systems gave us clarity to hire a top-fit licensed surveyor and plan two key hires, doubling our capacity within six months. Their consulting transformed me into the confident leader I always wanted to be, driving our business forward. I highly recommend Work Ethos!”

"A leadership session on giving feedback was incredibly impactful."

MIMEDX brought Work Ethos into our organization to help develop our leadership and sales representatives. Throughout our partnership, CJ continues to engage with our organization to help us develop a culture self-awareness and emotional intelligence through self-discovery. Her assessments are relevant to our day-to-day job functions and the delivery of her material helps the attendees not only understand their own behaviors and tendencies but that is perceived by their coworkers and customers.  A particular leadership session on giving feedback was incredibly impactful that resulted in better communication and transparency. CJ is one of the most dedicated and talented individuals I've had the privilege of working alongside and her willingness to be available to myself and our organization has led to a great partnership.

“I appreciated the direct and straightforward solutions provided in the assessment.”

I am the Director of Education and Events for a dental implant company. Our education team recently had the pleasure of working with Work Ethos for a training session focused on understanding and improving our team communication and dynamics. Marty, our Work Ethos consultant, presented the results from our personal assessments and brought a thoughtful and structured approach to the session. CJ asked specific questions to further the team discussion and simulate real-life scenarios. It is evident the consultants have high emotional intelligence and experience working with different career fields and types of people. They created a nonjudgmental space where everyone felt comfortable participating and reflecting on the results. 

One of the standout aspects o the training was how personalized it felt. Marty and CJ took the time to understand our team culture and tailored their insights accordingly. They created a custom Team Communication Matrix which highlighted the differences in how we communicate, problem solve, deal with conflict and our information processing speeds. It sparked meaningful conversations and gave us a practical framework to navigate differences and build a stronger team dynamic by gaining deeper understanding of our individual work preferences and how they influence our interactions. 

As the team lead, I appreciated the direct and straightforward solutions provided in the assessment. I was provided the "how to" that I can immediately implement in how I communicate with and guide each team member in their work.

"It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their clients' success as much as [Work Ethos] does."

I can't say enough great things about my experience so far with CJ and the team at Work Ethos! From the start, CJ's passion and expertise were evident as she took the time to understand our unique challenges and crafted a tailored strategy that exceeded our expectations. Her upbeat energy has made every meeting not just productive but enjoyable, transforming our approach and leading  in the direction of significant growth in our operations.

It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their clients' success as much as CJ does. I highly recommend Work Ethos to anyone seeking to elevate their business to new heights. Thank you, CJ, for your insightful support and guidance!
