A team of experienced facilitators, strategists, and leadership coaches united by a shared belief: the future of work is human, and the answers are already in the room.
Partnering for Innovation
The world is transforming at an unprecedented pace, creating a rapidly changing landscape for leaders and teams. We believe this moment is an incredible gift—a wide-open invitation to innovate, connect, and lead like never before.
We are energized by leaders who see the future not as a threat, but as an exciting opportunity, even when their teams are currently wrestling with misalignment, disengagement, and outdated methods.
We Are Your Guides
We are Clayton Creed and Colby Harder. We founded this firm because we know what's possible when teams stop fighting change and start channeling it. Like you, we experienced the deep frustration of being held back by old, command-and-control approaches that drain energy and stifle potential in the new world of work.
The Xchange Approach
This is why we champion the Xchange Approach. It is the foundation for our entire practice and all of our programs, providing the proven structure to revolutionize organizations, turning stagnant meetings into vibrant adult-to-adult conversations that surface genuine collective wisdom.
Co-Created with Leaders Like You
To ensure our methods are relevant and impactful, we have co-created programs with insights from business leaders like you and assembled an exceptional team of experienced coaches, facilitators, teachers, and guides.
When you partner with us, you are activating a high-energy collaboration.
Our unique team integrates with yours to explore the vast opportunities that are before us in this new future of work landscape. We are dedicated to unlocking the collective wisdom already present in your organization to drive innovation and change.
The result is a thriving, connected organization with clear strategy and renewed purpose.
We are looking for partners who are ready to match our enthusiasm for what's next.
Our Core Values
These principles guide every conversation, every program, and every relationship we build
Questions Are the Answer
Meaningful change begins with the right questions. Inquiry—more than instruction—opens the door to insight, alignment, and action.
Human-Centered Connection
People thrive when they feel seen, heard, and valued. We design every experience to build trust, strengthen relationships, and foster belonging.
Active Listening
Listening is a leadership superpower. When we listen deeply—with intention and without agenda—we unlock trust, connection, and shared understanding.
Action with Purpose
Insight without action falls flat. Our work transforms conversation into momentum—leading to clear priorities and tangible outcomes.
Courageous Curiosity
We stay open, ask boldly, and lean into uncertainty. Curiosity fuels growth—for individuals, teams, and the organizations they lead.
Collective Wisdom
The answers are already in the room. We create conditions for co-creation—where every voice matters and group intelligence leads the way forward.
Simplicity That Cuts Through Complexity
Clarity is powerful. We strip away jargon and complexity to make room for grounded, honest dialogue that drives real results.
