OUR MISSION
PowerTools cultivates effective leaders, positive environments and thriving communities through customized consulting, coaching and facilitation to activate growth.
OUR VALUES
WE ARE CATALYSTS FOR GROWTH
Using a strength-based approach, we consider ourselves thought partners: we build on what our partners already do effectively to grow their strengths, and create new ones. Our process is collaborative and inclusive.
WE NEED EACH OTHER
No two young people, families, schools, corporations, or organizations are exactly the same. PowerTools prides itself on listening to the expertise of our clients, and customizing its processes and products to the needs and goals of its clients. Connection is key.
WE PRACTICE CULTURAL HUMILITY
We are driven by our passion for equity and justice. To this end, we engage in cultural humility, a life-long self-reflection and redressing of inequality. We foster anti-racist, inclusive learning and working environments that honor the experiences, voices and value of each member.
RESEARCH DRIVES OUR WORK
We do our homework and implement practices that research proves are most effective when it comes to adult learning and motivation, effective leadership, inclusion, organizational development, social emotional learning, neuroscience and youth development.
PowerTools, LLC is proud to be a NYS and NYC recognized Women’s Business Enterprise!
