We help organizations create cultures where people know they matter.

Attuned To is a boutique management consulting firm located in Truckee, California.

We work with teams of 10–100 to improve team functioning through better communication, deeper connection, and stronger values-identity alignment.

Our signature offering, the AttunedTo Tahoe Offsite, is crafted by outdoor enthusiasts who are also Tahoe-based organizational researchers.

Each offsite is designed to help your team become more attuned to themselves, each other, and shared interests. Time on the mountain and the trail, meals that stretch into conversation, stories by the fire, and workshops custom-curated for your team.

About our founder:

Tory D.A. Taylor

Attuned To was founded by Tory Taylor to bridge the gap between management research and practice, after more than ten years studying organizational behavior and decision-making.

Tory’s master’s thesis examined the choice between holding the status quo and innovating. Her doctoral research focused on workplace behavior, with an emphasis on communication in groups. In her dissertation, she identified and empirically established a powerful source of motivation to speak up at work: a duty to voice. She also studied how people raise issues strategically over time, and how the desire to make a favorable impression—and avoid an unfavorable one—shapes communication in groups. Drawing on this research and more than two decades of experience across EdTech, national security, and management consulting, she designed the Attuned To approach.

Her coaching is grounded in the belief, and the evidence, that people share three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and connectedness. Through her coaching, she helps people fulfill those needs at work, which in turn supports stronger teams and organizations.

As an avid rock climber, Tory has a deep appreciation for the outdoors and for the way shared physical activity connects people. Relying on others, working through obstacles, and sharing both the effort and the payoff are natural ways to build trust. That is what Attuned To offsites are built to do: get teams out of the office and into fun, challenging pursuits that bring them together.

Our services

On-site

We travel to your office to work with your team in person, or meet virtually when the team is distributed. The work can take several forms, depending on what you need—including culture assessments, workshops, and executive coaching.

Local

For teams who prefer to meet outside the office, we join you at a local venue of your choice. That might be dinner, a favorite hike, a group activity, or something else entirely. If you want help with the details, we can take care of planning and logistics.

Off-site

We offer all-inclusive Tahoe offsites for teams who want more time and a more intensive learning experience. We handle the planning and partner with local vendors so the trip is taken care of and your team can focus on growth.
