Who We Are
"Allocentric" is a term used in psychology and sociology to describe individuals or cultures that are focused outward, towards others or the environment, rather than inward, towards themselves. It contrasts with "egocentric," which is a perspective centered on oneself.
In our work with you, we will help you and your organization develop allocentric leadership practices focused on collective well-being, fostering empathy, and building a culture of empowerment that is inclusive, sustainable and even restorative when need be, so together we build a future where everyone thrives, today.
