From leadership to the front line, people who feel cared for simply perform better.

It’s time to start caring for your company culture differently—to unlock potential, enhance trust, awaken accountability, and transform the way you work together.

Corey Blake Workshop Group

 

Your company culture is a reflection of your leadership.

A healthy and resilient company culture isn’t something you buy. You can’t delegate authentic employee engagement. You can’t hope trustworthy teams into existence. You have to earn it.

First comes care, then comes courage.

Preparing your culture to meet new inflection points with spirit, courage, and excitement requires a new kind of care.

At Round Table Companies, we work with visionaries who love to sit at the edge of the seat of life, who are rare and real, and who value thought partners willing to speak truth to them. If that’s you, we are here to challenge you to care about your people so much that you’re willing to wake them up to the thrill of truly living.

Awaken your people to the power of their unique human creativity and reenvision the future of your company.

THE FOUNDATION

Authentic employee engagement starts here.

Risk-taking toward innovation requires psychological safety.

“People who feel cared about are liberated.”

What is CARES?

Creating Adaptability, Resilience, and Empowerment through Support

Round Table Companies (RTC) provides high-impact people development for leaders, teams, and individuals of companies preparing for (or in the midst of) significant growth and change. We help care for the heart and spirit of your company culture using practical tools and innovative training that combines leadership, psychology, and storytelling to establish psychological safety, unlock potential, and enhance trust as you and your people work together.

Being cared for means

  • knowing why we matter,

  • feeling heard for our grievances without being dismissed,

  • being celebrated for our contributions and talents,

  • feeling empowered to use our voice and trusted to take action,

  • being held to a higher standard without feeling judged for our infractions, and

  • being challenged to hold ourselves and one another accountable.


Through CARES, we’ve seen dramatic changes of heart and impressively authentic employee engagement—with 94 percent of employees participating according to our latest case study.
