Founded in 2002, LifeWork Systems is a full-service training and consulting firm specializing in cooperative practices, workplace culture change and leadership development.
The vision of CEO Judy Ryan has been the driving force in shaping the company. Through her years of consulting she finds that most authority figures; to include executives, parents and educators, adopt human systems (how people think, act, feel and behave) originally designed for survival, conformity and compliance rather than strong leadership, creativity and collaboration. These obsolete, authoritative and counter-productive systems hinder the development of alignment, accountability and positive social interest.
