About Us
The People Side is a network of highly experienced facilitators, designers and executive coaches who are masterful at developing individuals, teams, and organizations. Many of us have played the role of Team Leader or Business Leader ourselves, so we speak the language of business fluently.
If you need someone to deliver skills training, we are not the right development partner for you. If you are giving a leader “one last chance by hiring them a coach,” we are not the right coaches for you. If you want PowerPoint slides with notes pages, don’t work with our designers. But if you are seeking a partner who can lead transformational conversations with your top leaders, and unlock the performance potential of your organization, we are among the best in the business. We hope you give us the opportunity to improve the people side of your organization by contacting us today!
“It is a privilege to lead this company. Our team is uniquely capable of dancing with discomfort and leading conversations that help people thrive instead of suffer at work. We are humanizing the workplace, and unlocking performance, one leader and one team at a time.”
— Candyce Penteado & Kate Bouyain, Managing Partners
OUR MISSION
to alleviate human suffering in the workplace
OUR COMMITMENT
We will cultivate relationships with inclusive organizations who ensure fair and competitive business practices, and a respectful work environment. We will do what’s right, even if it is to our financial detriment, because our reputation is our most valuable resource. We are a group of professionals committed to having a positive impact on every person we work with and will demonstrate respect and kindness in every interaction we have.
Inclusion and diversity are fundamental to our culture and core values at The People Side. We believe that no one should be discriminated against because of their differences, including but not limited to age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, religion or sexual orientation.
We also believe government laws and business practices should uphold the principles of diversity, inclusion and equality. While laws may vary in the countries where we work, we remain committed to being inclusive and respectful no matter where our classrooms are—because it is critical that everyone feels comfortable being themselves if we want to learn with and from each other.

Small Businesses
Disadvantaged Businesses
