Level Up Strategies Inc

When there is a gap between where you are. and where you want to be - we generate solutions. Consulting, People & Culture, High Performance Construction are the ecosystems our organization thrives in. We are learning what it means for our organization to become conscious to the more-than-human world we are a vital part of. We have begun to wake up to how we - without paying much attention - have acted on a sort of “autopilot” of traditions, meaning we have been active “consumers” of this earth’s land and resources rather than generative contributors with an important role to play. Our organization has worked hard to have a social conscience: we have gone out of our way to utilize our position in the marketplace to do charitable good by hiring marginalized community members and donating our time and resources to organizations who touch the vulnerable amongst us. We have nonetheless failed to see that we are complicit in the global decay and exploitation of the planet that we call home – which includes all life forms that abide in relationship amongst us. We, like so many other businesses, have prioritized growth and prosperity, which necessitates earning profits that further our capacity and reach. While we never set out to do harm, we also balanced the impact of our actions against the opportunity at hand, and if we were honest with you, we would likely have prefered opportunity and growth in the face of “risk of negative impact.” In reflection, these tensions seem like prerequisites to being in business within the capitalist paradigm in which we have grown and operate…but where does that end? While there is some solace that we have not contributed to an ecological catastrophe like an oil spill, or the harvesting of old-growth forests, or mineral extraction that leaves the earth barren and the water polluted or used our corporate muscle to displace indigenousness groups around the world, the uncomfortable reality is that we could have.
