Collaborations:
Building Social Capital
At the heart of our coaching process are two key resources: Achieving Success Through Social Capital by Wayne Baker, and the Social Capital Assessment developed by Cheryl Baker. These tools help our clients tap into the often-overlooked value of their personal and professional networks.
And it just got even better.
Earlier this year, Wayne and Cheryl Baker, along with organizational psychologist Adam Grant, launched
Givitas —a knowledge collaboration platform designed to scale the principles of giving and reciprocity found in Grant’s
best-selling book Give and Take.
Givitas was recently featured in Inc. Magazine in the article, How to Build a Better Company with More Engaged Employees in Just 5 Minutes a
Day. Here are some highlights:
- Research shows that givers are more successful at work—and organizations that build a culture of giving see improvements in engagement, retention, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
- Perks like coffee bars and remote work are nice, but true engagement comes from working in an environment where people build strong relationships, feel trusted, and know they have support.
- We’re often taught to “bring solutions, not problems” to our managers. But asking for help is a strength—a signal that someone is prioritizing the team, the project, or the client over their ego.
- Even when people want to ask for help, they may not know who to ask—or worry about being a burden. Givitas reduces that friction by making it easier to give and receive support, without stigma.
- One of the fastest ways to feel like a valued team member? Help someone who needs it.
