FLYN strives to bridge the gap between innovation and change management to create innovative, insight-driven workplace solutions that will live up to their promise. Starting with inspiration, translating to action Our events are a critical piece of how we work with organizations because they help to break our clients out of their current thinking and give them inspiration for the future, but also light up a path to action that may have seemed previously unattainable. Leveraging expertise Our combined knowledge that spans industry and challenges enables us to get specific with our clients and help them move beyond a vague need for change into action and impact. From events to facilitation to consulting and coaching, we are able to support our clients' efforts no matter where they may take us.

Founder Rebecca Rodskog and her team of expert partners can help you transform into the workplace of the future so your organization can flourish. Our premise is simple: people want to be good at their job and they want to do work that matters: to themselves, their community, and their company’s success. But most organizations, whether intentionally or unintentionally, create barriers. How do large organizations get out of the way so that people can thrive and do their best work, rather than getting choked by the weeds? And how can start-up darlings create a solid foundation to keep the bloom on the rose as they scale and grow? Often, organizations fumble through change reactively and their people are only considered as an afterthought. It’s no one’s fault. We don’t always know which seeds to plant and as we grow, we’re too busy to pause and ask “how can we do this better?” Answering this question is no longer a luxury or some rah-rah HR exercise: it’s a competitive imperative. We need a mental shift where people and organizations work together to create the future. And we need structures and practices in place that enable this to happen. Corporate loyalty is dead. The best people will work their tails off for a great culture, clear vision and the chance to have real impact. If you have not adapted your structures and practices to partner with them, they will leave. And your growth will wither on the vine. Show less
