SERVICES
Good consulting builds capacity that outlasts the engagement.
I work with a small number of organizations at a time. Every engagement is designed from scratch - no off-the-shelf frameworks, no generic deliverables.
01
Strategic Planning
A strategic plan is only as good as the process that created it. If your team didn't shape it, the won't own it. If it's not grounded in real data, it won't survive contact with reality.
4-6 months
typical engagement
I design processes from the ground up — stakeholder interviews, landscape scans, equity analysis, board and staff engagement — then facilitate the sessions that turn all of that into a plan your organization can actually use. Not a binder. A roadmap.
DELIVERABLES TYPICALLY INCLUDE
→ Narrative document
→ Gap analysis & risk flags
→ Prioritized recommendations
→ Implementation roadmap
→ Bylaws review & revision
→ SOP templates
02
Board Governance & Development
Strong boards are built, not inherited. I help boards clarify their role, strengthen their culture, and become genuine partners to organizational leadership — not a rubber stamp or a crisis committee.
Project-based
or retainer
This work includes governance assessments, board retreats, committee restructuring, and ongoing coaching for executive directors and board chairs navigating a complicated relationship. Often pairs naturally with an Infrastructure Review when bylaws and committee structure need to evolve together.
DELIVERABLES TYPICALLY INCLUDE
→ Board handbook
→ Cultivation strategy/calendar
→ Policy recommendaitons
→ Bylaw revision or markup
→ Orientation template
→ Committee charters
03
Organizational Infrastructure Review
Growing organizations often hit a wall — not because their mission is unclear, but because their operations haven't kept pace. Bylaws written in 2008 don't fit a $2M organization in 2025. Policies that lived in one person's head become liabilities when that person leaves.
6-10 weeks
typical engagement
An Organizational Infrastructure Review is a structured, top-to-bottom inventory of the documents, policies, and operating systems that hold your organization together. I assess what exists, what's missing, what's outdated, and what's creating risk — then work with your team to build or update the infrastructure that lets your programs and people thrive.
DELIVERABLES TYPICALLY INCLUDE
→ Document & policy inventory
→ Gap analysis & risk flags
→ Prioritized recommendations
→ Implementation roadmap
→ Bylaws review & revision
→ SOP templates
04
Facilitation
Sometimes you don't need a consultant. You need a skilled neutral who can hold the room and help your team reach genuine agreement.
Single session
to multi-day
I'm a trained Peacemaking Circle facilitator and practitioner of Appreciative Inquiry. I design and facilitate strategic retreats, difficult organizational conversations, team development sessions, and community engagement processes — for groups of any size, in person or hybrid.
05
Organizational Development
Is your organization ready for its next chapter? I help leadership teams assess their capacity, navigate transitions, address internal conflict, and build the culture and infrastructure to sustain their work.
Flexible scope
project or retainer
This includes team assessments using CliftonStrengths or iCAT, coaching for leaders navigating complexity, and culture work that goes beyond a staff retreat.
ALSO AVAILABLE
Training & Workshops
I design and deliver custom training on board leadership, strategic planning, facilitation practice, and organizational health — for conferences, convenings, and in-organization sessions. Currently teaching board governance through Young Leaders Council and facilitating workshops through CNE Middle Tennessee and Tennessee Nonprofit Network.
METHODOLOGY
"My toolkit is assembled, not proprietary."
I draw from Peacemaking Circle practice, Appreciative Inquiry, Results-based facilitation, CliftonStrengths, World-Café, Standards for Excellence™ and BoardSource. What I bring is the judgment to know which tool fits which moment - and the facilitation skill to use it well.
