How We Started
Back in 2018, I was consulting for a mid-sized tech company in Calgary. Their numbers looked decent on paper, but something was off. The team seemed disconnected, projects dragged on forever, and good people kept leaving.
During a coffee chat with their CFO, she mentioned they'd never really connected their financial planning with team motivation. That conversation changed everything. We spent the next six months developing an approach that treated financial health and team energy as two sides of the same coin.
The results surprised everyone. Not only did their cash flow improve, but employee satisfaction scores jumped 40% in eight months. People started caring about the company's financial goals because they finally understood how their daily work connected to the bigger picture.
