Tending whole systems.

Resourcing leaders, communities and Businesses towards collective flourishing.

What is Our Common

Coaching and consulting firm meets community hub…

We believe that how you do your work in the world is just as important as what you do.

Our Common is dedicated to offering support and resources to leaders, teams, and individuals who believe in the importance of collaboration, community, and connection. 

We’re here to help you:

  • find and build communities & businesses where everyone can thrive, 

  • navigate relational complexity with courage,

  • create group dynamics where unique contributions add to efficiency and impact,

  • feel supported and equipped in your leadership. 

We need your Leadership and your Community more than ever.

LET’S BUILD A WORLD WHERE THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL TO THRIVE.

You are Welcome here.

Who We Serve

We love to partner with those that are longing for, building, or already investing in, healthy relationship ecosystems.

Our offerings are organized according to four core-groups, find yourself in one of the descriptions below:

Community Seekers

You are looking to understand yourself better, learn relationship skills, and find meaningful connections.

You are possibly in a transitional season of life - re-defining your sense of self, your priorities and values, or your worldview.

You long for belonging, as you find your way.

COMMUNITY BUILDERS

You tend and care for the needs of others, and carry a lot of responsibility.

You are most likely a CEO, an entrepreneur, the head of a non-profit, or a faith leader.

You might be a therapist, coach, doctor, or care provider.

You long for support, as you hold all that you do.

New & Existing Communities

You are a group or collective with a shared vision and cause, that cares deeply about the health and wellbeing of your relationships.

You might be a non-profit or community start-up, a co-housing group, or you might be living intentionally with others on shared land, or wanting to make that a reality.

You long for guidance, as you navigate relational nuance.

Values-Driven Businesses

You are making a difference in the world through the work that you do. The health and culture of your workplace matters to you.

You are a small business, solopreneur, working partnership, or family-owned business.

You are willing to invest in the structure, culture, and capacity of your business for the sake of the collective good.

You long for resourcing as you bring your work forward in the world.

We’re in this messy and beautiful world together, and we all have an opportunity to contribute to its collective thriving.

Why we do what we do

We are not meant to “do it alone”.

We have long been offered a story of individualism and self-sufficiency as power…

This story that has created mass feelings of comparison, isolation, and burnout, and fed an ever turning wheel of work that only truly benefits a few.

What if that story wasn’t true?

At Our Common we are committed to telling another story - one that is rooted in the interconnectedness of all things.

Upcoming Offerings

  • Our Common Conversations

    Our Common is founded on a value of collaboration and hearing from the collective. Rather than spam you with emails we decided to host quarterly common conversations, so we could bring together our broader community for a Common Conversation each season. These calls are themed and will include teaching (like a workshop) and some guided reflection and discussion. Don’t worry though the degree to which you participate is totally up to you. Come and listen if that’s what feels best for you!

    Our next FREE Common Conversation will take place in February - New Date Coming Soon!

    We would love to have you there. Make sure to join our email list to get the invitation!
