Our Mission
At Beekuba, we help organizations build thriving, Strengths-based teams and leadership cultures that drive sustainable growth.
Through a unique blend of coaching, leadership development, and culture-building systems, we partner with leaders who believe in unlocking the best in their people.
Our programs combine Strengths-based habit-building, practical leadership training, and scalable systems to create long-term, measurable transformation —rather than just one-off workshops.
We proudly serve organizations across industries, including agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and more.
If you believe people are your greatest asset, we’ll help you turn that belief into a competitive advantage.

Our Story
Beekuba was built on the belief that thriving teams don’t happen by accident — they’re intentionally cultivated.
Our name comes from the Scandinavian word bikuba, meaning beehive — a powerful symbol of connection, collaboration, and shared purpose.
We adapted the spelling to Beekuba because it sounded warmer, more original — and because, at the time, that word didn’t even exist (which felt exactly right for what we were building.)
The name also carries personal meaning for us. Long before founding Beekuba, Mike and Katie met in college at St. Cloud State University, where their first meaningful conversation happened in the campus computer lab — a place called “The Beehive”.
Today, Beekuba’s mission is simple — to help leaders and teams grow stronger from the inside out.
