A Service: Principles & Values

An offering for Poet & Scribe

This is one of our first exclusive services we offer at Poet & Scribe. At least, what I hope and want to become one.

We work with leaders who want to develop a list of their values and guiding principles as leaders—or as a team.

Leader Package

How do you communicate the work you do? What drives you? How do you frame your decision making to instill a sense of trust in not just the how you're spending your time, but the why. Deepen relationships through clearly communicating who you are as a leader by investing in the time to understand what you're doing?

Details

Individual Package

  • Timespan: 3M/1Q (one performance cycle; one financial cycle; one service cycle)
  • Cost: $5k – $25k/mo
  • Why this price?
    I like the accessibility of sliding scales. Also, the impact of figuring these things out scale as onen grows as a leader. A first-time manager has a very different impact of this than, say, a craft Director leading 20~500 people at a global, multi-million or -billion enterprise.

Team Package

  • Timespan: 3M/1Q
  • Cost: $10k – $50k/mo
  • Why this price?
    Again—sliding scales. However, a well working team is something that's invaluable and has lasting imact. By having these conversations as a team, it creates space for vulnerability & relationship-building—as well as co-creating strategy from there out. How do you make decisions as a team? What are those guiding principles?

You have corporate ones already—cool, great! We can use those as a grounding conversation point, delving deeper in how the team exhibits these values in everyday work. How can they be better ratified or built into the culture? Or we start there and build your own subculture's organinzational principles out of that, branching towards something unique.

Org Package

  • Timespan: 6M/1H
  • Cost: $30k – $150k/mo
  • Why this price?
    This is a deeper engagment. The longer it takes for understanding your organization, what you're going for, and who others are going for. It's a custom package that is determined by your team's need.

The Discovery Discount

  • Timespan: 1–3M
  • Cost: $2k–$75k/mo
  • Why this cost?
    We spend this time getting to know you, what you're needing, and how we might go about things. You'll walk away with a written proposal of what needs to be done in the next, longer engagement—priced above—or you can take that proposal and use it to help inform the organization's next move or to give to another to inform or build upon.

This is half of each engagement's pricing above—in time and expense.

How this relates

Poet & Scribe is, fundamentally, about the collision of two opposing lenses—yet shared.

Both seek to document, preserve, and share.
Both communicate with intentional language.
Both inform how we share in the experience of being human.

Knock-on effects

If you go through an engagement and—likely—discover that the path to putting these principles & values to practice is convoluted.

We offer these three tiers as the challenge grows in complexity and time-to-see impact.
