About the Flow
The name Eight Twenty-Eight has several meanings and interpretations, yet all merge to one central theme- “New power gained by trial and testing.” We chose Eight-Twenty Eight as our company name to represent both the heights of our full potential as working professionals while also acknowledging the depths of sacrifice and struggle necessary to get there. We practice transformational leadership through deep listening, poignant courage and intentional practice.
Here at Eight Twenty-Eight, we don’t shy away from the duality of the “pain and gain” paradigm, but rather embrace it and allow it to shape the trajectory of our future. In essence, we say, “There’s always purpose to pain, like plant growth from rain,” so let’s grow something amazing together.

Client Success is Our Priority
F
Flashlight vs. Spotlight
Being a flashlight vs. a spotlight is a mindset of not centering ourselves above our clients. We leverage our knowledge and expertise to shed light on the clients' needs and priorities rather than our own. Our goal is to provide selfless service, actively listening and understanding your unique circumstances.
L
Learn and anticipate client needs
Learning and anticipating our clients' needs are a crucial aspect of driving sustainable outcomes. We continuously learn about the industry, market trends, and individual circumstances, to stay ahead of the curve and provide proactive recommendations. Anticipating client needs requires deep empathy, listening skills, and the ability to think critically. In doing this we are able to deliver tailored solutions, exceed client expectations, and foster long-term relationships built on trust and mutual success.
O
Over deliver
Our aim to over-deliver is a strategy embraced by all of our consultants to exceed client expectations. We go above and beyond client expectations to provide exceptional value. By doing this, our consultants build trust and strengthen our client relationships.
