About +One

Everyone loves a good story, and our origin story is definitely an interesting one.

Our founder, Chris Good, began his career as a commercial interior designer, helping organizations shape workplace design, workplace strategy, and real estate optimization. Most of his work was really about serving and helping people. The team members of those businesses, who showed up every day and defined the organization.

His +20 years of experience observing and guiding people led him to a simple but inspiring conclusion. The relationships people form at work have a profound impact on both team and organizational success, and the way organizations design and cultivate this connection through workplace culture has the power to affect a variety of important outcomes.

Chris set out to build a consulting practice that helped organizations define, design, and activate culture shaping strategies that connect employees and the organization to optimize employee experience and organizational success.

Today, +One partners with organizations representing different industries and sizes to shape and evolve workplace culture and elevate the ways and the places that people come together at work.
