About.More than two decades ago, Ande started her first school because she noticed a gap between what we know about how people learn and what was actually happening in education. Over the last two decades, she has noticed that the same gap exists in workplaces, too. Ande and her team aim to change that by helping leaders and organizations create systems and cultures that thrive.

Consultants at Ande & Co work hand in hand with leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs to build positive, creative cultures of thinking and learning.

A Note from AndeI began this journey decades ago, believing as wholeheartedly as I do today in human potential. At that time, I saw education as a pathway to transformative, long-term change in our society. Now, I understand that education is but one part of a much larger, more complex culture. I still believe that changing educational systems is necessary for broader social change, but it is not a panacea, and it's also not possible until smaller cultural shifts around thinking and learning are embedded in our social worlds.
When I set out on a path to help organizations make these shifts, I learned quickly that the biggest challenges and greatest successes in organizations can be traced back to the way human minds are working with and making sense of the information they have. I noticed that organizational goals of transparency and engagement were often code for "we will share more information" instead of "we will facilitate thinking and learning". And I realized that businesses of all types struggle with balance of productivity and uplifting human potential. For most adults, their work becomes the canvas in which creative problem-solving expresses itself, where their potential has the opportunity to manifest. So, let's design for that. Our goal is to help organizations become learning organizations--growing, adapting, and thriving because their people are. If you'd like to be a part of that change, we'd love to hear from you!
