our philosophy 

“telos” is the Greek word first used by Aristotle to mean “with the end in mind.” Our work confirms that liberating the energy necessary for clients to reach their aspired destinations requires, first and foremost, a mindful and deliberate approach to defining outcomes.”

a lower case approach 

Our use of lowercase for the telos institute is deliberate. We believe all the intellect, ambition, energy, and creativity necessary for clients to reach their chosen destinations reside within them – not us. We assume a guiding and reflective role – a lower case approach – to help them discover and re-discover where those resources reside, in order to drive the outcomes they genuinely want.
