SEE WHAT WE DO »

Tournesol is French for sunflower.

Inspired by the radiance of a field of sunflowers at dawn all turned toward the light, we’re here to help our clients turn toward a brighter future.

Every engagement is unique.

Our team works closely with leaders to do the bold, courageous work necessary to define a brighter future and chart a path to reach it.

We work differently.

Our job is to help you achieve your future, not tell you what version of the future we think you should create.

Partnership is our superpower.

We’re true collaborators — listening, sharing, practicing radical kindness, and bringing out the best in you and your team. Our primary goal is to help you realize the brighter future you hope to create.

Tournesol is about teamwork.

Our eclectic, passionate community of strategists, experience designers, innovators, makers, writers, artists, facilitators, and producers is committed to helping you create your brighter future.

MY SUPERPOWER IS strategy.

As a strategist, I’m hard-wired to unlock possibilities. I’m always asking, “how could we make this even better?”

MY CORE BELIEF IS I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to create experiences that help you see and act on what’s possible.

‍TRUE LEADERS with an instinct to do breakthrough work are often told not to rock the boat, or that’s not the way we do things around here. Those are the leaders I love to help shine.

MY SUPERPOWER IS design.

I bring clarity to strategy and design.

MY CORE BELIEF IS that the strength of a great idea is in its clarity.

‍TRUE LEADERS have a unique worldview. It’s important to understand why they approach things the way they do.

Isaacs

Storyteller, guitar plucker, chocolate lover

MY SUPERPOWER IS writing.

As a writer, editor, and communicator, I bring my ability to observe, listen, and simplify complex ideas.

TOURNESOL HAS TAUGHT ME to truly see and cultivate each person’s unique contributions. Taking the time to connect and discover who each person is, and what motivates them, leads to deeper relationships and a higher quality of work.

‍BRIGHTER FUTURES MEANS hope. Embracing the unknown when the ground underneath is shifting. The confidence to keep moving in a direction that aligns with your innermost beliefs. And taking action, even when it’s scary and requires a leap of faith.

MY SUPERPOWER IS strategy.

As a coach and consultant, I help leaders solve complex problems so they can bring their strategy and vision to life.

MY PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT was leading the State of Pennsylvania’s Voter Protection Program for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

TRUE LEADERS have vision, empathy and conviction — and take the time necessary to get their team truly behind them.

MY SUPERPOWER IS design.

I bring simplicity and delight to complex strategic communications.

MY PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT was creating the Human Rights Campaign logo. (When Beyoncé posts your logo, you know it’s something special!)

‍TOURNESOL HAS TAUGHT ME to practice radical kindness. It’s pretty unusual for an organization to put that stake in the ground.

Roth

International voyager, creator, entrepreneur

MY SUPERPOWER IS program management.

To see strategy, product design, and project management in a new way, I draw inspiration from outside.

MY MOST MEMORABLE PROJECT was helping develop and launch the first mobile-based voter registration system in Libya after Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown.

‍TOURNESOL HAS TAUGHT ME we have to trust each other. If you don’t have faith in the abilities of your team, you can’t move forward.

MY SUPERPOWER IS shaping organizational purpose.

As a strategist and communicator, I’m always looking for clarity, and I strive to hold a strong point of view and be flexible at the same time.

MY PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT was helping IBM rapidly acculturate new employees in Africa. It’s incredibly satisfying to know that years later, the work I did has carried on.

TOURNESOL HAS TAUGHT ME to practice positivity. Lots of people want a better future, but don’t reach for it because they’re afraid. With practice, I’ve found that encouraging people to think in a less fear-based way is pretty amazing.

Help us change the world.

As a business founded by a woman to change the leadership status-quo, we’re dedicated to creating a brighter future — and opportunity — for all. For us, part of building that brighter future means fostering a culture of inclusion, diversity, and equity in our organization and in how we work with our clients.
We’re honored to have worked with diverse leaders, including women, leaders of color, and LGBTQ+ leaders who are committed to making each person feel seen, respected, and valued, so we can all thrive and shine.

Ready to get started?

We can’t wait to help you imagine the brighter future you can create — and take the necessary steps to make it real.
Lots of consultants come in with great ideas and no way to execute them. Tournesol had such a range of superpowers, they were able to make magic happen.”
— Head of Strategy, Fortune 100 Company

How can we help you?

Like the radiance you feel seeing hundreds of sunflowers turned toward the sun (the literal meaning of “tournesol”), our purpose is to help leaders turn toward a brighter future and advance humanity for generations to come.
