Meet the New Reconsidered
We have a new look! And a new website! And a new way of talking about what we do!
I'm so excited to introduce a new chapter for Reconsidered — one built around a sharper focus, a simpler business model and more spaciousness for the creativity and blue-sky thinking this work demands (and deserves).
Getting here required a lot of tough but necessary decisions over the past several months, many of which flew in the face of conventional (read: capitalistic) wisdom about what it means to grow a business. In the process, I had to get really honest with myself about what I want, what I value and what role I feel best suited to play in this moment of our movement. Questions that are easy to pose to clients but much harder to answer for yourself, turns out.
In the end, I felt inspired by the possibility of growing inward rather than outward. I embraced the gardening metaphor of pruning as a way of enabling more focused flourishing. And I kept coming back to the enduring wisdom of E.F. Schumacher's "Small Is Beautiful" philosophy — this time trying my hand at living it, not just agreeing with it on an intellectual level.
The result is a renewed focus as we enter our 9th year. We are narrowing down our offerings, including closing our beloved Change Hub membership community and sunsetting several of our trainings. We’ve gotten crystal clear on what we do (and what we don’t).
And what is that, exactly? At our core, we're a boutique strategic communications consultancy specialized in sustainability and social impact. Over nearly a decade, we’ve had the privilege of supporting global clients big and small, including Etsy, J.Crew Group, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, EILEEN FISHER, Maybelline New York, Expedia, Mailchimp, Target, C&A, BESTSELLER, JACK & JONES, Sir Kensington's, New Belgium Brewing, Autodesk Foundation, Ashoka, Fashion for Good, Textile Exchange, Alliance for Water Stewardship and the UN Development Programme.
Our new website is designed to communicate that focus, as well as the unique skills, experience and point of view I bring to each project (because I'm not just the person selling the services; I'm also the person delivering them).
Check it out, poke around and if you'd like to learn more about how we might support your work, reach out and let’s talk (no hard sells, promise).
