I started this company because I believe that people will do the right things when you create the right conditions. I've chosen my partners because they feel the same way.

Everyone in our partner community contributes a wealth of relevant expertise that can help the people in your organization work together better.

They allow me to offer you expanded, complementary services, and they do something else: They help me live out The Human Factor's values every day. We listen to each other, we think together and we work from our strengths to build stronger organizations, for ourselves and for you.

Separately, we're talented professionals with decades of experience. Together we're so much more.

Lister Beaupre, Lawyers

My firm specializes in administrative law, civil litigation, human rights cases and employment law from both the employer's and the employee's sides. My practice is very client-centric. I believe that being a good lawyer is about more than just practicing law well, and it's about more than just being a good business person; it's about being a good person and doing the right thing at every opportunity. And that's part of what drew me to Christie. She has a lot of integrity, which is something you don't always see in the business world.

I work closely with my clients to create custom websites, newsletters, advertising and marketing copy, instructional materials and commemorative publications. I believe that your communication to the outside world should be a reflection of your inside world. Once Christie helps you affect changes inside your world, I can help you convey those changes on the outside. I like to think that Christie and I share a set of values that includes honesty, high standards and an understanding that our work is all about the people.
