the cities that are looking to partner and do the work.

Because the work still has to happen.

And so when we get to be able to say, hey, we do community-based or communications or strategic planning work in Dublin, people like to hear that when we're doing work here in Washington, D.C.

And so as a firm that gets that chance to offer all the services that we offer across the world and then get to say, hey, here's what worked in Dublin or here's what worked

in Manchester, UK.

Here's the work in Rio.

Now let's think of what will work best for your community, for your organization, or for the problem or issue that you're challenging.

So I think global work is expanding in this moment.

It's certainly ingrained in our DNA and our founding and our practice.

We can't call ourselves a social impact firm and not really mean the impact part of what we do.

And so our youngest employee is 16 and our oldest employee is 94, 98.

And they are not outliers.

We're very intentional about building a team that is reflective of the work that we do and the communities in which we serve and operate within.

And that's the same thing as most traditional consultant firms hire consultants, career-long consultants.

For us as a consultant firm, we hire people who are practitioners, people who come from different walks of life and backgrounds, everything from former government officials to former healthcare executives to former teachers on our team.

And we train and teach them on the work that we consult in.

And so when we can work with companies and say, hey, we actually have lived the experience on our team.

Yeah.

that applies to the work that you do, that makes our work 10 times more rewarding and makes the people who are doing the work more invested.

And so as a social impact consultant firm, we pride ourselves on the team that we build.
