Who We Are
Hone was founded on a belief we still hold today:
Every leader, every team, and every organization has untapped potential.
Our role is to help people access it.
We began with just a few foundational workshops that had decades of proven results — and a vision for how leadership and team development could be more human, practical, and transformative. As demand grew, so did our offerings, evolving into a full suite of training, coaching, facilitation, and custom program development services.Today, the Hone team brings more than 20 years of experience in adult education, human resources, leadership development, and organizational performance.
