About THRIVE
We don’t believe in passive, sit-and-soak team training.
THRIVE helps teams embody their values, so their internal culture reflects the same creativity, compassion, and drive they’re working toward externally. Alignment isn't automatic.
It’s practiced.

Why We Do This Work
We founded THRIVE not just as a company — but as a calling.
We’ve spent our careers in the arts, education, environment, and faith spaces—doing the work, not just talking about it. We know how hard it is to deliver on a mission when communication breaks down, trust wears thin, and teams are stretched.
We created the PraxisPlay™ methodology because we were tired of watching passionate people sit through professional development that felt passive, disconnected, and ineffective—the kind that leaves you drained but not changed.
We don’t just teach collaboration. We embody it.
Because the organizations shaping a better world deserve development that’s as bold, human, and mission-aligned as they are.
