About SOAR Community Network, LLC
We're on a Mission to Build Communities not Workforces - Introducing C3 Communities
We build Compassionate, Cohesive and Collaborative (C3) communities within organizations using behavioral science and talent optimization tool sets. Our C3 Community Framework was designed to help growing organizations improve innovation and drive business results. We do this by mapping strategic direction, optimizing talent and operationalizing values by assessing and restructuring policies, procedures and technology.
We partner with private, public and nonprofit clients who are committed to creating a culture of inclusion, compassion and cohesion because they understand that their employees are people first; human beings who want to contribute their talents and creativity to causes they believe in and missions that matter. Executives and leaders who hire us understand that engaged employees and elevated human beings enhance productivity, drive business results and increase profitability by more than 20%.
We partner with our clients to map their purpose and set strategic priorities, optimize their talent and align employees’ behavioral strengths with the work to be done and help operationalize their core values to increase engagement and maintain their C3 communities throughout the organization. Our C3 Community Framework elevates compassion at every level of leadership, creates cohesive internal communities and fosters effective collaboration by designing high performing and innovative teams.

It has been a great experience working with the SOAR team. They answered all of our questions in a timely manner and working with them has been very easy, seamless and fun. It was an excellent program! We will want to continue this work and show our employees that we’re going to invest in their leadership development.
I was really impressed with the high participation and engagement. I think people got super vulnerable because SOAR really set the tone with sharing your story. And I think that just made people very comfortable to let their guard down and be vulnerable. And then just the genuine breakthroughs of having additional connections with your teammate outside of your day-to-day core functions. It was real team development. My team realized, “Hey, we’re doing this to get better together.”
We recently utilized SOAR’s service to help prepare and position our organization for our next level of growth. I was amazed at the deep insight SOARs’ assessments provided for each individual team member—and for departments and the company as a whole. Utilizing that insight and best practice techniques taught during a SOAR workshop, we are already seeing enhancements in communications and collaboration across the organization. Thanks to SOAR, our entire team is accelerating to the next level!
