Who We Are

Appello Partners is a premier leadership development firm empowering leaders to build cultures in which both the whole self and the whole organization are valued.

We come alongside leaders, managers, and business owners to help them better understand themselves and their people, and to assist in strategically creating a culture where leadership is intentionally multiplied into all who are a part of the organization.
Appello /ap·pèl·lo/ [Latin]
Appello Partners was created out of the intent of the word itself:
“to push towards, to move to, to impress upon, to call towards.”
As leaders, it is our calling to see, embrace, and believe in the best of others.

We must be compelled to do all that we can to call others up into their true potential. It is up to us to push. To move. To impress. To call.

We have to both choose and reinforce this pursuit, again and again, in order to build the culture of leadership that liberates others and unearths their potential.

Our Impact

“Appello Partners are extremely flexible, and truly want what is best for the company and its employees. They see the value in both and strive to meet the needs and goals of the organization. They have made a positive impact on our company.”

Mallory R., HR Manager
