what we do

We offer free initial consultations with individuals, leaders and any organization that wants to be more effective, efficient, and to thrive in today’s economy. Jointly we determine if we are a good match to work together.

Some partnerships are as simple as executive coaching or goal-setting mini-retreats. Others are as involved as strategic planning processes and creating segmented fund development and implementation plans over time. Still others involve work with key staff and boards, and even re-imagining or restructuring organizational missions, governance-structures, programs and services, and advocacy plans.

We are not vendors, but rather partners and change-agents who seek collaborations with those in the non-profit and for-profit worlds whose beliefs are aligned with our own.

Some organizations find we are effective assuming key roles on a temporary or ongoing basis within their organizational structure.

We are less interested in buzz words and the jargon of change-theory than we are in helping clients understand their needs, and empowering them to meet those needs efficiently and economically.

We are adept at teaching and challenging our clients - on the one hand to discover wisdom they are surprised to find they already possess, and on the other to develop new skills they need to manage and to lead.
