We see the forest. And the trees.

They may be one of the most widespread trees, but aspens are also one of the most memorable – not only for their good looks, but also for their unique characteristics. They’re team players. A grove of aspens is connected under the earth by a strong, single root system. They wait for the right opportunity. Their roots lie dormant until conditions are just right for them to emerge and grow. They’re resilient. And tenacious. A stand of aspens may be wiped out in a forest fire, but they’re always the first to come back. Committed. Their strong, invasive roots are ideal for preventing forest soil erosion. They thrive in a variety of environments. Aspens thrive in adverse conditions. They grow year-round, even in winter, when other deciduous trees are dormant. They make themselves seen, and heard. Standing on majestic, tall white trunks, their bright, “quaking” leaves make a soft rustling sound. They’re versatile. Their wood is used for everything from matchsticks, to saunas, to medicines. 

In the forest of candidates out there, it’s our job to find the memorable – the aspens – those who fit not only a job, but whose unique and distinguishing characteristics elevate them from the ordinary, to the exceptional.

We help people work together, better. We seek to understand the big picture while never losing sight of the details. We see the forest. And the trees.
