The Verus Global Difference
Deeply aligning teams by mobilizing connected hearts & minds
The Story Behind Verus Global
A Legacy of Leadership & Heart
30 years ago, our founder delivered a parenting workshop that immediately changed lives. A passionate team was formed, driven by the idea that the greatest gifts for children were given by parents being at their best first.
Soon, parents in our programs told us: My team at work needs these tools.
Today, we remain true to the wisdom of this virtuous cycle: By equipping organizations to be at their best, the families in that community become stronger. And, as a result, those families build stronger institutions in the community.
With every phone call and every program, we expand and write a story of what has always mattered: connected hearts.

Our Core Beliefs
Strategy execution is a social process. Therefore a common collaborative language is required.
Changing behaviors is not an intellectual exercise - it's the business of the heart.
Our families deserve more than our leftovers.
The best development occurs in the flow of work when seeking solutions to deliver our business imperatives.
When colleagues are deeply aligned, execution is seamless, the impact is lasting, and leadership is immensely fulfilling.
OUR CREDO
The Heart of How We Lead
We exist to advance the idea that aligning the focus and energy of colleagues within an organization is not an intellectual exercise… but the business of the heart. This deep alignment fulfills organizational potential while enriching the employee experience.
Conscious, connected and capable humans who are disciplined in their care for one another and united by a common purpose triumph over challenges. In this way, work gains profound meaning: The pursuit of business excellence becomes a process for self-actualization and creating a better life.
Our ethos is rooted in our history: From the greatest gifts we give our children, to wellness cultures, a do-big-things framework, and deep alignment, we continuously evolve. Through research and co-discovery with clients, we relentlessly seek effective methods for delivering the unique value we promise.
Being trusted by our clients is always the priority. Objectivity, integrity, quality, business acumen, and the Verus Experience are ingrained in everything we do.
We genuinely care about the leaders with whom we partner, their businesses and the well-being of their families. We are inspired by the transformative work they do in their world.
With humility and discipline to realizing our own potential through the practice of our methods, we insist on modeling the moral standards required to achieve our vision. Inclusivity, integrity, curiosity and joy are bedrocks in our culture.
Our legacy is our foundation. We build upon it by courageously operating with inspired and disciplined acumen. The promise we make to our clients is kept by keeping promises to ourselves. We surround ourselves with inspired, diverse talent that grows the health of our culture and company.
Our shared cause is personal. There is harmony between our health, work and relationships.
Through transparency and collaborative leadership, we execute robust strategies that deliver on stakeholder expectations.
With objectivity and generosity, we take well-measured risks. Our hearts beat like a startup, with an eagerness to learn. Our informed and timely decision making ensures the continued growth and health of the business.
The holistic wellbeing and extension of goodwill to those we work with to flow value to clients is unconditional.
We know that everyone wants to be great and possesses unique and important value. Our intention is to play our role with excellence in a broader movement occurring within humanity.
With gratitude and an appreciation for enduring abundance, we prepare those who will follow us in advancing the idea to which we are dedicated.
