The Team
Get to know the Southren Group team
We are a team of dedicated coaches, facilitators, entrepreneurs and consultants, and we each wear more than one of those hats, often at the same time.
​
Our diverse backgrounds in law, administration, communications, strategy, research, consulting and training gives us a unique perspective on the challenges our clients face every day - and the most effective solutions to get them to the next level.
​
Living our firm values is our driving force. We strive for connectedness, contribution, collaboration, inspiration, growth and empowerment. All day, every day, with one another, and with everyone we work with.
We’re so glad you found us, and we can’t wait to meet you.
