Mission
Archipelago Rising is a coaching and learning practice that helps individuals and organizations navigate cultural, social, and technological change. Coaches are a necessity rather than a luxury in today’s context of constant change and complex social environments. We equip coaches, individuals and companies with knowledge and tools of transformation that acknowledge and engage human differences for the highest performance possible. Our mission is to create a community of fulfilled professionals who are expert in their fields but also able to cross over to other fields and out of their comfort zones.
Vision
Our Vision for our clients, their way of life and the culture of their organizations is a place with motivated people engaging in dialogue and collaboration. We value communication and recognize that cultural and social differences can either impede or accelerate the capacity to achieve goals and create excellence. Top professionals and companies will take time out for deep learning and reflection. That’s places of retreat are a part of our vision for our clients. In the tradition of Plutarch, we believe literacy and the arts are a necessary part of that experience. Retreating from regular work patterns to develop the mind is a necessary practice in the era of AI.
Expertise
Archipelago Rising (AR) offers expertise in individual and organizational capacity building. We cultivate a learning mindset through our workshops and coaching on cultural topics and gender differences. Our ideal client seeks self understanding, a deeper understanding of others, and expects disruptive market changes from paradigm-shifting technologies. We specialize in multiple dimensions of human experience in order to support our client’s unique needs. Too often gender, especially, is overlooked. Professional women receive general advice that often is more suited to men and the needs created by testosterone. We create spaces where men and women’s particular strengths and needs are recognized.
