Founded in 2000 by Denny Faurote, The Faurote Group operates from Indianapolis as a human capital consulting, training, and coaching firm. Faurote brings an accounting background to the practice, holding a bachelor's degree in accounting and an inactive CPA license, and applies that business grounding alongside coaching and training work. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
The firm's work draws on a bench of associates and strategic partners with distinct specialties. Sarah works as a trainer, consultant, and executive coach, while JoDee Curtis, an associate, handles training, coaching, and human resource consultation. Cassandra, a strategic partner and Founder/CEO of Total Reward Solutions, focuses on compensation and employee rewards, and has published articles in World at Work, Inside Indiana Perspectives, the Louisville Business Journal, Kentucky SHRM, and HR Professionals Magazine. Shatanese Reese, a certified EQi-2.0 coach and facilitator, brings more than twenty years of HR experience, and Diane, David, and Tom round out the group's strategic partners.
Across these engagements, The Faurote Group works with organizations to build company cultures that encourage and equip employees toward fulfilling, purpose-driven work lives. The mix of consulting, coaching, and training draws on team members' backgrounds in accounting, compensation strategy, HR leadership, and emotional intelligence coaching, giving client organizations access to specialists across several sides of the human capital function rather than a single generalist approach.
