Equity & Re-Emergence

June is a time of celebration for many—school’s out, summer is here, Dads get their “day in the sun” and we look forward (perhaps even more this year than in some) to a little bit more free time for fun.

Living Life With A Heart Of Service

Living Life With A Heart Of Service

At Integrated Work, we believe in living and working with a heart of service—this means doing good work in the world in ways that support our clients and our team. This month, as we celebrate those who serve everyday—from mothers to service members—we also want to appreciate the people who have gone above and beyond over the last year to help us all navigate the turbulence of the pandemic: the first responders and front-line workers, doctors and nurses, educators both at home and at school, grocery store clerks, and mask-makers.

Growing Together: A Time of Renewal

Growing Together: A Time of Renewal

In April we celebrate Earth Day. April 22 is also my Dad’s birthday, so the birthday-earth day conjunction has always been a strong one for me. As spring begins to make itself felt, it becomes a potent moment to both reflect on and celebrate renewal in many forms. April is also Integrated Work’s birthday—we turn 23 this year and are grateful to still be building on the strong foundation our Founder, Jessica Hartung, established for us by believing it was possible to create a human-first organization dedicated to doing good work in more conscious and humane ways.

You can find plenty of things to learn about, uplift, and celebrate in this month’s issue, but the last week served up another reminder that recalling the past also gives us an opportunity for reckoning with the realities of lived experience that get kept behind a veil when “history is written by the conquerors.”

Conversations that Keep Us Moving Forward

Conversations that Keep Us Moving Forward

We lost an icon this week, but her legacy is one of purposeful forward motion, sometimes in baby-steps and sometimes by leaps and bounds. She was powerful and humble, and spent her life showing us the way… Let’s follow her example and take up the call to create conversations, all around us, that move the things that matter most forward…

Standing in Solidarity Toward a More Perfect Union

Standing in Solidarity Toward a More Perfect Union

Now is the time to forge real solutions born of deep listening to, and caring for, one another. Now is the time to acknowledge how deep the suffering must be to give rise to despair. Now, it is time to direct our anger at that suffering and its never-ending persistence, not at the symptoms of despair
