We Believe Healing is Golden
Heart and Mind Connection
We believe that mental fitness and emotional health is the next frontier of competitive advantage for businesses. We also believe pairing evidence-based therapeutic disciplines with business acumen is an ideal combination to help businesses achieve a competitive edge. It’s not just about leadership theory. It’s not just about mental health. It’s a powerful combination of the two - the ability to connect heart and mind in the workplace. Take a closer look at how we can help your business here.
Meet the Co-Founders
Stacey and Jared Haslam are the co-founders of the Kintsugi Institute. Stacey is a pre-licensed marriage and family therapist, and has seen firsthand the incredible power of therapy in healing lives and relationships. She is passionate about bringing that healing to others, especially those involved in professional life. Jared has almost 20 years of experience in the corporate world, and is the former Vice President of Product Strategy and Planning at Nissan North America. He is passionate about helping business leaders have greater mental health, helping businesses overcome the stigmas associated with mental health and fitness, and helping corporations establish positive cultures that enable employees and leaders to thrive personally and professionally.
We Know Professional Life
We know firsthand the unique challenges of professional life and the profound impact the pursuit of a professional career can have on individuals, and relationships both at work and at home. We understand how stressful the office can be - it’s a much talked about problem but with few real solutions. Some setbacks go beyond a coaching call, a workshop, or even training. We approach these challenges with empathy born of experience, sensitivity, compassion, and purpose to get you, and your relationships, back on track working towards a more fulfilling life. We always advocate speaking with one of our therapists when a problem is beyond the scope of our normal business consultation practice. Please reach out today if you’d like individual help tackling personal issues impacting your life, career, and relationships.
Connecting with our clients, understanding their context, and meeting them where they are is paramount for the Kintsugi Institute. All therapists and coaches working with Kintsugi Institute on your behalf have personal experience and knowledge of the corporate world allowing them to have a deeper understanding of the challenges of your life and career.
We take a hands-on approach, a compassionate labor of heart and mind, to help heal individuals and enhance business culture. We look forward to working with you.
What’s in Our Name?
We were first exposed to kintsugi while living in Japan on an overseas corporate assignment; it's the ancient Japanese artform of mending broken pottery and highlighting the repaired breaks with gold. But kintsugi is more than just a way to repair broken pottery. It is a symbol of resilience, of taking something broken and turning it into something new and beautiful. Kintsugi is not only the inspiration for our company name but becomes the backdrop for the work we are doing at the Kintsugi Institute: providing transformational change for professionals, both in the office and in the home.
