Welcome to Conatus Human Capital. It is our pleasure to introduce you to our firm and highlight some of the reasons we have become the talent and leadership partner of choice for several of the world’s leading organizations. Over the years, many people have asked us, "What is Conatus?" According to history, the concept of Conatus was first developed by the Stoics and Peripatetics over 2300 years ago in Ancient Greece. Navigating between the philosophical and scientific applications and derivations of "Conatus," the word is best described as the innate inclination of a thing to continue to exist, strive, and enhance itself. Every life form on Earth seems to strive to its maximum and enhance itself - except human beings. However, unlike many life forms, humans have been given the true dignity of choice -  and willpower! We can choose to be all-in, run away, be less-than, or content. At Conatus Human Capital, our team and affiliate partners strive to excel physically, mentally, and spiritually every day. We are wholeheartedly committed to being the best version of ourselves - personally and professionally. Do you stretch up to the full measure of challenges and see what all you can do?

​

History is a fantastic teacher, but only if you pay attention. Achieving success is commendable, but how can it be sustained? Nearly 90% of the Fortune 500 companies who first appeared on the list in 1955 are gone, merged, or have been disrupted by innovating companies, which in many instances, were not on their competition radar. Many other organizations fall victim to the same trap. Despite leadership's best intentions, and in spite of significant investments in developing their values, vision, mission, strategy, talent, or culture, they end-up losing their competitive advantage. They fail to innovate, change, and grow.

​

We have witnessed countless organizations that have defaulted to their insular organizational bias: the norms, practices, and behaviors that have come to define them. These organizations rarely embrace change, seek new ideas, or are open-minded to pursuing different paths. Eventually, their workforce, reputation, and culture own them. If you fail to engage or entice your workforce in new and compelling ways, we can assure you that someone else will. If you fail to pursue opportunity, you’ll cede it to your competition – it is a matter of time.

​

At Conatus Human Capital, we’re not another consulting firm consumed with espousing HR best practices; we are your strategic partner in co-creating next practices. We are acutely aware of our mission to target talent, help unlock the hidden value in your organization, to build upon it, and create sustainable competitive advantages. There are no shortcuts to excellence – diligent and courageous leadership and commitment is the only path.  Conatus focuses on transformation – the transformation of Leadership, Talent, Organization, Culture, Strategy, and Capital. To be straightforward, we focus on the areas where the world's best leaders place their emphasis. So, if you desire to make a difference in your organization, we invite you to look at Conatus Human Capital, where our exceptional leaders serve first-class leaders like you.
