Lessons from a flower

In the Black Hills of South Dakota, the return of the humble Prairie Pasque (Lakota: hoksi’ cekpa) means one thing: Winter is almost over. You made it through the trials of the cold wind and snow, and the warmth and energetic burst of Spring is just around the corner. 

The Pasqueflower’s pale purple petals stretching through the snow are a sign of hope and renewal, and also one of resiliency. We admire the strength of this beautiful flower and its ability to survive despite harsh odds because it reminds us of our own capacity to do what we perceive as hard, possibly impossible. 

Pasqueflower Consulting serves organizations that understand the time has come for them to step up and do hard work. The Climate Crisis is the single largest threat to human rights that we have ever seen. As we continue to understand this threat, the growing consensus is the role of a business in a community needs to change. Businesses are now expected to show a transparent, authentic commitment to the communities that keep them operating and the environment that supports them.    

This is done by focusing on the intersectional triple-bottom-line model of sustainability. When an organization understands that the balance of financial stability, social equity, and environmental responsibility is directly connected to its longevity and success, it can truly thrive. Pasqueflower Consulting has a proven track record of working with businesses to understand the benefits of this balance and looks forward to spreading that message.
