STOP FOLLOWING THE LEADER. Because there isn’t one.

THERE ARE 7.5 BILLION OF US ON THE PLANET.

The world is interconnected and complex. To think that any one person is fully ‘in charge’ anymore is an unfortunate myth, and the more quickly we accept that, the more quickly we can get on with building the r/evolution. Together.

Imago is here to support you in becoming radically responsible for the talents that you have been given, so you can break the old systems that no longer serve us and build new ones that do.

If you’re not looking for the easy way out (and we know you’re not), read on. On the road less traveled, we need each other. Welcome.

 
 

Influence is for every body – no matter where you find yourself on the org chart. You are your most essential tool to getting anything – and we mean anything – done. You are your greatest instrument. In the new world of work, how you show up matters: we need authentic, capable people.

 
 

It all begins with the recognition that savior leadership and passive job holding is dead. None of us has the full answer, but we’ll find it in the connected intelligence brought forth by invested people.

 
 

We are immensely fascinated by a really good conversation. You know the ones we’re talking about: the ones that dig deep, are richly hued, keep you thinking, and prodding you to action for days after. The ones that shift perspective and leave you forever changed and with specific actions to take. Let’s have those conversations, shall we?

Testimonials

Learning new ways to lead, especially ways that are not steeped in white supremacy and capitalism, is exactly why I love working for UWKC. [As a result of this experience], my investment in my job has strengthened (as has my perception of myself as a leader).
