Get to know us.
Human-centered strategic design
At Schala Advisors, we believe that people are, well.. people, not cogs in a machine. Well-being is complex and multi-faceted. We should all be granted the autonomy to pursue our own best path. Balance is about more than work versus life. Work is a part of life, and life is inextricable from work. We are working to create an environment for ourselves and within our networks that aligns life with business in a way that actually works for us all.
Fostering community, connection and growth
At Schala, we believe we are all intrinsically and undeniably connected, to each other, to other living creatures, to our environment. Leaning into this interconnectedness is essential for well-being and growth. Fostering community requires compassion, collaboration, and promotion of equity. Curiosity and openness fuel learning and growth. Growth is about expansion, not of wealth, but of depth and breadth of experience and positive influence. Schala exists to expand opportunities for collaboration and growth for us all.
As we grow, we’ll be building our network of partners, experts in their fields, who can support small businesses in ways that we know we cannot. Reach out if you’d like to partner, or stay tuned for more.
A creative approach
As individuals who have forged our own way in the world, we have learned that complex problems require creative solutions. We understand that as a small business owner, your business needs likely exceed the capacity of your current resources. The consolidation of wealth, information, and resources for the benefit of a few stands as a barrier to most. We’ve created Schala to stand in the gap, to share our skills and expertise at affordable rates, so that together we can clear the hurdle when it matters most. We love to work with non-profits, social enterprises, and minority, immigrant, and women-owned businesses - and we check a few of those boxes ourselves.
