A tree can only be as strong as the forest surrounding it.

Forest Floor Consulting, LLC takes an organic approach to seeding and growing a thriving organizational culture.
Forest Floor Consulting, LLC considers organizations as forests, the processes, traditions, and products of that organization as the trees of the forest, with the humans associated with the forest and its trees at the roots.
When we look at a forest, we tend to focus on the trees - the most visible signs of the ecosystem’s strength. However, the success of a forest depends deeply on the organisms in its floor, that do all the communicating, nourishing, and even decomposing for the forest.
In an organization, the forest floor is made up of its employees and the company culture they create for each other that either promotes human and organizational thriving or erodes them.
