I help mission-driven organizations get from wherever you are to the results you want to see. That work takes a variety of forms, and the examples below highlight common requests for support, but every engagement is shaped by your unique goals, challenges, people, and capacity.
Most organizations don’t need more ideas, they need more support.

A Note on Collaboration
While I work independently, I don’t work in isolation. I stay in regular conversation with experienced consultants and nonprofit leaders to test ideas, learn from what others are seeing, and keep my thinking grounded in real-world practice.
That ongoing exchange helps me stay sharp, curious, and ensures the guidance I offer is informed not just by my own experience, but by a broader field of practice. When additional expertise or capacity would best serve an organization, I’m thoughtful about bringing collaborators in and clear about roles and accountability so the work stays focused.
