History

Established in 2012.

Two years ago when Jenn and Starla joined forces to start SmartfulWorks, both lived in the Bay Area and their goal was to build the business locally. Less than a year into the partnership, Jenn announced that she was moving to Atlanta.

If you had asked us 2 years ago how we felt about virtual teaming, we probably would have told you that is was sub-​optimal. Now we can say from our own experience, we aren’t just believers, we are evangelists. To us, this was a lesson in what we teach teams. When life hands you change that you don’t want, how can you use it to create something better?

Change is happening faster than ever. SmartfulWorks helps forward-​thinking organizations invest in their most valuable asset– leader of tomorrow. The complexities of the workplace are greater than they have ever been. We are in the middle of a workforce revolution that demands a new kind of leader, a new way of thinking, and a redefinition of collaboration. We call it the Modern Mindset.
