Services

  When leaders consider new strategy: programs, services, or start-ups, they look to me for guidance, technical support, and coaching. Clients use me in targeted ways to frame and facilitate visioning discussions with board members, staff, and other constituents. Often I am hired to conduct interviews, survey, and foster group reflection and 

feedback processes. 

I also lead longer-term, comprehensive strategic planning processes that result in 3 – 5 year plans and actionable ways to achieve 

positive social impact. 

 I work with clients and their constituents 

to design and implement evaluation and assessment processes. Developing and administering quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing data and reflecting on learning, the work is centered on mission and social impact. At its best, evaluation inclusively engages stakeholders, creates space to experiment, reflect, and imagine. Sound process and ongoing learning informs strategy, troubleshoots challenges and resource gaps, and fuels action steps for service delivery

improvements and innovation.

I research and help design focused giving areas for philanthropic individuals, communities, families, foundations, and corporate giving programs. This may include creating grant models, grantee cohort structures, and reporting and learning processes. I also test, review, enhance, and implement grantmaking systems. I assist grassroots leaders as well as institutionally structured funders with capturing (and acting on) insights from communities, grantee partners, and other social impact investors.

Our personal and professional worlds are intertwined. In my coaching capacity, I help people honor their strengths, confront challenges, and effectively communicate with their colleagues. I work one-on-one, in team-based sessions, and as an interim executive to support more cohesive organizational systems. This work often includes staff retreats and team-driven workshops. When people and systems are humming, there is exponential social impact.
