OUR AUDIENCES

Purpose-Driven Teams & Organisations

Your team is united by a powerful mission. But does your internal culture - how you collaborate, lead, and decide - reflect the change you want to see in the world? We help you align your daily practices with your deepest intentions, building a resilient culture where both your mission and your people thrive.

Who we work with

Who we work with

We partner with purpose-driven teams in moments of transition and on their ongoing journey, strengthening the internal foundations needed to achieve their mission.

Our typical partners include:

‍

  • Social enterprises and B Corps seeking to align their internal culture, structures and processes with their external mission.
  • NGOs, non-profits, and foundations aiming to build resilient, adaptive and high-trust teams to sustain their long-term impact.
  • Purpose-driven teams within larger companies or institutions who want to foster a more collaborative and empowering way of working.

‍

We are often brought in during moments of:

‍

  • Growth and transition, such as scaling the team, navigating leadership changes, or adjusting hybrid and virtual work models.
  • Strategic alignment, when a new vision or strategy needs to be translated into team culture, roles and daily practices.
  • Team challenges, like addressing communication breakdowns, navigating hard conversations, being on the edge of losing key staff, or preventing burnout.
  • Proactive culture- and structure-building, when a team wants to intentionally strengthen trust, clarify roles, and improve collaboration.

‍

To support you in navigating these transitions, we partner with you to strengthen your strategy, culture, and team resilience.

Key benefits of working with Unity Effect

Measure what matters, build trust

Transform KPIs and team metrics from a top-down requirement into a supportive team practice. Using tools like our Capacity Compass, we help you reflect on your collective strengths and growth edges, building trust and clarity as you align your daily team work with your purpose. 

‍

Walking the talk

‍Close the gap between your aspired values and your internal reality. We help you establish the decision-making protocols and collaborative structures that ensure you embody your mission in every meeting and interaction.

‍

Thriving people, sustained impact

‍Build the high-trust culture (psychological safety, clear roles, healthy communication) where your team can do their best work without burning out.

We have been working with the Unity Effect team effortlessly during the Senior Management Team and Global Team retreats. Over the years, they have supported us in bringing together our team, finding better ways to connect, discussing relevant issues, and finding solutions with professionalism and creativity.

In a unique way that is rarely found, Emily combines competence, professionalism and creativity with enthusiasm, authenticity and fun. Unity Effect does not only talk social entrepreneurship and new work, they know what it means and how to make it work in real life. I enjoy and have benefited from each and every collaboration with Unity Effect and Emily can only highly recommend them as a competent and professional partner.

Head of HR & Facility Management, Forest Stewardship Council

Thanks to that, for myself I now perceive leadership as the gift and sign of confidence that it is and am happy to assume this role in my organization. We as a team could already implement new structures and tools that help us to grow together and to create a work environment in which we feel safe enough to be ourselves and to bring in all our resources and ideas.

Drawing on foundational work in systems thinking, complexity science, psychology, and insights from contemplative and indigenous knowledge traditions, the Compass identifies 28 core capacities across individual and collective levels.
