Secure Your Future.
Deliver Your Mission.
There’s probably a thousand challenges causing you to stress about the future. Most can be summed up in three big categories: strategy, people, and systems. All of them are getting in the way of what you really want to focus on.
ThriveLab is like a magic wand. We help you cut through those stressors so you can spend more of your limited resources making your mission – your why – the reason you exist – reality.
The Three Big Challenges
We have a lot of ways to help. We also know that it’s really tempting to throw a great solution at the wrong challenge. This never works well. So we focus first on understanding which challenges have the biggest impact. These are the three big challenges our clients tend to need to explore first:
Gambling
Growth
You feel a relentless push towards reactive mode and spreading your resources way too thin – not focusing on the things that matter in the long run
Leadership &
Culture
There’s destructive competition, leaders operate in silos, workers face burnout and de-motivation at record rates, and your best people are leaving
Ineffective
Systems
Processes and practices created in a different era make it feel like you’re running on ancient operating systems
See your organization in one or more of these? Let’s figure out which ones we need to address first.

We Do Things Different
Our clients love it
Todd
CEO, Co-Owner
All the prep work you did made it so easy for me to fully participate and trust we’d get the outcome we needed. It’s like y’all were a part of the team!
David
Chief Legal Counsel
This is a team where most of the members have been together for over 10 years. We have never been able to have conversations like this before.
Jade
VP, Partner Engagement
“Our experience was not only incredibly productive but also enjoyable. Our leadership team had long struggled to define a clear strategy and focus on what truly mattered. Through Brett and Dylan’s expert guidance and engaging approach, we were able to cut through the noise and align our goals. The process was enlightening and fun, making it a transformative experience for our team.”
Karl
Principle Designer
“One thing I’ve always loved and respected about your approach, is the way you bring a strong (almost unstoppable) sense of “we can do this!” to the table and then build-up that positive outlook with the team.”
Shawn
VP, Operations
“What I loved about the most out about strategic planning sessions with Brett and Dylan was their ability to keep your mind and body active throughout the whole process. In longer planning sessions, its easy to get complacent and less engaged as you get tired. Brett and Dylan found fun ways to keep our minds and body’s sharp so we could be at our very best throughout the process.”
Wes
Director, Data Science
“You bring a unique mix of business/organizational skills to a traditionally ‘squishy’ domain that can be really hard to find. Taking something that is intrinsically nebulous like qualitative research, and conceptualizing it in a way that can be (mostly) understood by classically trained business-folk is an incredible skill. I am not sure I’ve ever seen someone do it better.”
Welcome To ThriveLab
There is a subtle revolution happening in American businesses. Organizations that adapt will be heralded as the visionaries in 20 years. Those that don’t, aren’t likely to thrive. We exist to help you adapt to the revolution.
Here’s what it takes. You probably already resonate with these. If so, let’s talk. If not, we may not be the right fit for you. That’s ok.
- People are connected to purpose. We want to find it in our work. Organizations have to connect their people with something bigger than just making money.
- Teams and leaders have harmony. It sounds obvious, sure. But when you see the number of cultures that reward silos and competition over collaboration, it’s evident we aren’t practicing the obvious.
- Leadership provides clear vision and direction. No more hiding behind vague, safe answers or short term goals pointed at the next shareholder meeting. When we confidently know where the long journey leads, people are inspired to follow us.
- Decisions are made by those closest to them. Build a framework that informs and cultivates responsibility for making the best choice, and then give autonomy to individuals who can make the choice most effectively.
- Employees are their “whole self”. And that’s wonderful. It’s time to move beyond mono-culture or forced DEI initiatives, to actually inviting every single person in our workplaces to stop cutting off parts of who they are when they come into work.
Our approach redirects how you face these shifts so you’re in flow with them instead of fighting against them. We balance fun with focus – knowing that we all create better when we’re in a mindset of enjoyment, and that business outcomes are inevitable when the people delivering them are in alignment.
