Services
We’ll start with a conversation—just a chance to hear what’s on your mind. Then we will design a preliminary Scope of Work where we agree upon four things: What, How, How Much, and by When.
We can stagger the work in stages. Perhaps a pilot project to see if it’s a good fit before moving forward.
Here are four ways I often work with clients. I can….
Do the Work FOR You
Sometimes you just need someone to take the reins.
Examples of deliverables:
– Write a compelling grant proposal
– Facilitate a strategic planning retreat
– Lead a board training on fundraising
Do the Work WITH You
We collaborate closely to shape strategy, create tools, or deliver a shared goal — while building your internal capacity for the future along the way.
Examples of deliverables:
– Co-facilitate a workshop to determine the organization’s Values. – Jointly lead a strategic planning retreat
– Partner with your development lead to revise the fundraising strategy
Counsel or Coach Leadership
Here, I’m not doing the work myself — I’m guiding you through it. I offer clear counsel, honest feedback, and practical frameworks that help your leadership team move forward with confidence.
Examples of deliverables:
– Advise an Executive Director on managing a struggling board
– Coach a senior team on realigning staff roles and priorities
– Help a CEO think through a new funding model
Step In as Interim CEO or Senior Leader
When an organization faces a leadership gap, I can step in to provide steady hands and seasoned guidance — while supporting your board or search firm through the transition.
Examples of deliverables :
– Lead the organization as Interim CEO during an executive search
– Serve temporarily in a senior strategy or external affairs role
– Stabilize team morale and clarify direction during uncertainty
My Trail Guide Framework helps break the work down.
The demands, challenges, and choices can be overwhelming.
