Lori at a table discussing Community Building

Strong Cultures. Connected Teams. Real Results.

Kalliergo partners with organizations to cultivate work environments where connection and collaboration drive meaningful results.

 

How We Build Strong Cultures

Community building profoundly transforms organizations. Our seven pillars—commitment, inclusivity, authenticity, support, shared leadership, collaboration, and camaraderie—are the foundation of a thriving culture.

 

Common Challenges We Help Solve:

  • High levels of absenteeism, burnout, attrition, and turnover
  • Low engagement and retention
  • Too much internal competition, not enough collaboration

Are you seeking to foster greater creativity, enhance mutual support and camaraderie, and cultivate a more inclusive team with a shared vision, values, mission, and goals?

While we’re proud to work with a wide range of organizations (see feedback here), our current focus is on those that often fall through the cracks: First Responders in police, fire, and ambulance services. These are environments where crisis response is the norm, but support before a crisis is rare.

 

Introducing the LIFELINES Program

LIFELINES is Kalliergo’s signature program for First Responders—firefighters, EMTs, police, and paramedics. It strengthens organizational culture by creating a pre-crisis support network: colleagues who are connected and ready to face challenges together.

Rather than waiting for a crisis to trigger support, LIFELINES builds the conditions where connection, collaboration, and psychological safety thrive—before they’re urgently needed.

 

Customized Community Building Programs

Whether you’re a first responder organization, corporation, nonprofit, or educational institution—our tailored programs align with your team’s needs, timeline, and budget. Ready to explore together? Schedule a complimentary Zoom meeting—we’d love to learn more and explore how we can help.

Testimonials  
A participant in a Kalliergo Program shares his impressions.
“I have participated in many strategic planning sessions and team-building activities in the past that simply scratched the surface. This unique, experiential workshop helped me dig deep to make real community connections with complete strangers within a mere few hours.”
Ash Arrowsmith, Recreation Professional, Town of Riverview, New Brunswick		 a client, participant of a Community Building program shares her opinion about Kalliergo programs
“I have used Kalliergo to build community in my business and in the classroom. No other program does what Kalliergo does. Community building is not the same as social-emotional learning programs. SEL training is good but it does not create community. Kalliergo’s multi-step approach methodically leads groups into thinking about how to create and be an actual community. When we say that we are part of a community without Kalliergo training, we rarely are a community. I highly recommend Lori’s approach!”
Louise Yakey, Executive Director, Tutors to Teachers & CEO Arise Tutors, Santa Fe, New Mexico		 a Community builder herself, Sarah shares why she recommends Kalliergo Community Building
“Community building with Lori is unlike any workshop or leadership course you’ve taken before! The usual rules of conduct don’t apply. Every voice matters and Lori does a good job of moderating that.”
