I’ve devoted my career to closing the gap between nonprofits’ external missions and their internal capacities to realize those missions. I call my process Wholistic Effectiveness – or WE. Because indeed, when we team up, WE address that gap with grace—a simplicity, a strength, an openness to possibility. And your entire organization runs at its best.So, whether we meet in person, online, or a bit of each…I’ll arrive with a bias for action. Listen deeply. Speak candidly. Remain down-to-earth. Bring a learning orientation. Serve as a safe rudder in a storm. And guarantee we laugh. A lot.Whether we are working on strategic planning, mapping your organization's impact, auditing your service offerings or starting out with an organizational assessment, our process is analytical. It’s also rooted in honoring group dynamics—how everyone is feeling and engaging. That’s why our equity-driven work combines both left brain (analysis) with right brain (emotions). Over time, we’ll move through a whole-brain process via which your entire organization thrives.What I know for certain: The best teams laugh together as they work together. They’re curious and inquisitive as they challenge conventional wisdom, imagine new possibilities, and solve pressing challenges.They ask unusual questions, like this one (among my favorites): “What if we were to…?” As your strategic collaborator, I’ll ensure you and your team:• Boost your ability to move your mission forward• Cultivate healthy, equitable, inclusive, and thriving cultures in which all stakeholders are heard • Secure a proven expert whose sole focus is systems-based strategy • Generate results-driven change based on your top strengths• Identify big and small opportunities for innovation within your organization and/or mission• Feel confident about tackling and intentionally realizing your strategic priorities • Make more effective decisions—even if you work with a large or a consensus-driven group• Achieve bigger goals—without arguing, lobbying, and turf warsWant additional cred?• Work with a broad range of clients on strategic planning, impact mapping, assessment, and service offering reviews + audits—all through an equity lens• Deeply understand strategic planning within nonprofit sector—it’s been my primary focus for years• Host of the Mission: Impact podcast: https://podbio.me/missionimpact• Bring expertise on organization development (in fact, I have a Master’s in OD)…a fancy term for helping groups work better together via improved group dynamics and smarter strategy.
