Services

I love the work of translating strategy into action. I help people solve thorny problems, identify next steps, and move the work forward while grounding in healthy habits and strengthening professional relationships.

Advising
& Coaching

My advising and coaching sessions are best suited to:

  • New managers looking to build their management skills

  • Busy Executive Directors, senior leaders, and team leads who need focused, confidential space to work through complex problems and move forward what matters most

  • Junior to mid-career folks looking for mentorship as they build their skills in organizational operations, project planning, budgeting, risk management, or contract / lease negotiation

  • Board members responsible for supporting and evaluating a senior staffperson

  • Anyone responsible for moving work through an organization who wants to hone their skills

Projects

I undertake organizational design and development projects with organizations who want to:

  • Improve their operations and internal infrastructure (e.g. finances; tech; facilities; human resources systems, policies, + processes; org structure; etc)

  • Strengthen and evolve their governance culture, process, and/or engagement

  • Address workload issues to prevent burnout and support long-term effectiveness

  • Plan for major organizational transitions (e.g. leadership succession, major expansion, funding model shift, etc)

  • Strengthen their operational planning, wrestling their big picture strategy into effective day-to-day implementation

Interested in working together?
Get in touch with me.

Project collaborations typically start with a call to discuss the scope of the project, budget and rates, and whether there is a good fit for working together. For advising and coaching work, I offer a sliding scale fee structure and recommend planning for at least three sessions from the outset (after a shorter initial conversation free of charge). I am happy to suggest and connect you with other facilitators and consultants when another skill set is a better fit.

Over the last decade, I’ve honed my skills and stress-tested my judgment across many areas of leadership, operations, and advocacy. Learn more about my professional skills & experience →

I donate 10% of my profits (after I’ve paid my business bills but before I pay myself) to support Indigenous-led organizations and Indigenous decolonization, cultural vitality, and well-being efforts.
For me, this is part of “paying the rent” as a settler on these lands.
