Aaron Schmookler / Co-Founder & Company Culture Engineer of The Yes Works

Aaron Schmookler works with business leaders who believe that their people are their greatest asset. As a "Company Culture Engineer," he supports them to build structures, habits, and mindsets that support an enduring high-performance culture so their profits and their people thrive.

While his career appears anything but linear — ranging from outdoor leadership to corporate contributor to theatre director and founder to teacher of theater and business communication — one thread ties everything together. For over 20 years, Aaron has been striving to help people find their own intrinsic motivation, their capacity to collaborate, and the fulfillment that comes from harnessing the creative impulse in us all to serve others.

In 2014 Aaron and business partner, Adam Utley, co-founded The Yes Works and developed the Teamification Model of collaboration and leadership training and the Teamification Culture Audit.

Aaron and The Yes Works serve clients across the country and across industries including Microsoft, MOD Pizza, DiscoverOrg, Burkhart Dental Supply, SOG Knives, 9th Gear, and Textainer to make work good for people and people good for work.
