Different lenses. Shared vision. At 6585 Consulting, we believe perspective changes everything.
Our name comes from our birth years — representing not just two generations, but two ways of seeing the world of work, leadership, and growth. That difference is our strength. It reminds us that clarity comes from contrast — that when multiple perspectives come into focus, new insight emerges.
We bring that philosophy into every partnership.
Through strategy, learning design, and culture work, we help organizations see their people and performance through a clearer lens — connecting the numbers that matter with the people who drive them.
How We See the Work
We approach every engagement as a collaboration — part strategy, part design, and entirely about people. We listen first, learn deeply, and build what fits — creating experiences that align goals, culture, and capability in meaningful, measurable ways.
We believe the best work happens when:
- Experience meets fresh perspective.
- Data meets dialogue.
- Leadership meets learning.
That’s where growth takes shape — and where clarity becomes action.

Together, we help organizations see clearly — through multiple lenses — so their people and performance can thrive. We started 6585 Consulting because we believe growth happens when people are willing to look through a new lens — their own, and someone else’s. That’s what we do with every client: create clarity through connection, and help leaders see what’s possible when perspectives come together.
Let’s explore what a fresh lens could bring to your organization.
