Our name, Retexo, means “to untangle,” or “un-weave.,” It shares the same root as the word “textile,” a woven cloth. We use that process of untangling threads, weaving, and sometimes unweaving as a metaphor for the personal growth and development that is so essential to effective leadership.

The Loom is a collection of the many resources that have informed our perspectives on life, business, leadership, human behavior, communication, and relationships over three decades. It includes books, articles, videos, quotes, maxims, mental models, frameworks, and more—all the multi-colored strands we have pulled together to form our fabric of our understanding. The Loom is where all the threads come together.
