Within People

Within People's been working with Stok for four years now and, frankly, it been awesome. Stok is a purpose-led, values-driven, self-managed team that's also growing quickly and thoughtfully. The summit was a few days of magic emblematic of a remarkable culture, that it's our privilege to support. And if you can make the sun shine for 3 days straight in Oregon, in fall, what can't you do?!

Thanks for sharing out this moment Sabina Weiss! Our work with Tom Tapper and Nice and Serious was just inspirational for us then as it is now and we love to see that energy carried out into the world.

Weeks later, they were rewarded with new opportunities that allowed them to bring everyone back.

🛠️ During the Redbrick Leadership Summit, the team explored the Eight Essential Qualities of Leadership we’ve developed at Within People. One of the qualities that sparked important conversations was conviction. Redbrick’s leadership team reflected on how conviction isn’t about always having the answers—it’s about trusting your team and the vision you’re building together. It takes conviction to lead with purpose and belief in your people, even when the path isn’t clear.
