About Us
Co-Active Means Living in the Paradox of Being and Doing
The Co-Active Framework is an ethos and mindset that helps people stretch their sightlines, get out of their comfort zones, and grow in a way that permeates every aspect of their lives.
Co-Active is a way to better understand our journey through life and a methodology for designing our life’s purpose and calling. Co-Active helps us rediscover the courage to be who we want to be and create what we want to see. We believe leadership does not have a finish line — it’s a lifelong journey, and every person’s path is unique. Co-Active is a contextual lens through which one can experience life and leadership from different orientations.
As the pace of life has quickened and become more volatile and complex, the world has become increasingly action-oriented and results-driven. It has become suitable to dispense with the “soft” stuff (being) and instead advance by simply “getting the job done” (doing) at all costs. Unfortunately, this leaves us feeling disconnected and desperate for meaning and belonging. The result is living an isolated life in an echo chamber, desperately trying to achieve what the world has deemed successful.
We want everyone to live in the hyphen of Co-Active by being in action together and being together in action!
