The Human Solidarity Project

What The Human Solidarity Project does

The Human Solidarity Project (HSP) is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1998 that delivers leadership development workshops, coaching, and organizational consulting aimed at reducing burnout and rebuilding human connection in care-provider and mission-driven organizations. Its core offering is the 'Creating Human Solidarity' two-day flagship workshop, supplemented by Relationship First Leadership, Conflict Reduction, Creating Connections, High-Performance Leadership Coaching, and The Integration Process (an 8-week team coaching engagement). Underlying these offerings is a proprietary 'Inside-Out Healing' methodology organized around four stages — Restore Individual, Align Team, Transform Institutions, Strengthen Communities — and anchored in the 'Toxic Groundwater' conceptual framework, which identifies buried stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotional labor as root causes of burnout and team dysfunction. Workshops and coaching are delivered both in-person and virtually for groups of 15-40 participants, with pricing custom-quoted on a multi-year contract basis.

HSP operates a hybrid revenue model in which paid organizational partnerships (workshops, coaching, consulting) directly cross-subsidize a Pro-Bono Workshop Program serving under-resourced healthcare, educational, and social-service organizations. The organization has served more than 500 organizations and claims 25,000+ lives transformed, and its Board of Directors is chaired by actor Hank Azaria. In 2025, HSP launched an AI Initiative — 'Human Readiness for the AI Era' — an advisory program addressing the human-side failure modes of enterprise AI adoption, backed by a newly formed AI Advisory Council. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a free 30-minute consultation as the primary acquisition mechanism, supplemented by content marketing through blog and newsletter channels; no paid advertising, channel partners, or international distribution are referenced.
