How I Can Help

Helping Your Organization Be The Best There Is At What You Do!

Striving for excellence is a key part of your sector. As your organization grows, you shift strategy, or the demands of your constituency change, your organizational structure and processes may need to adapt. It is essential to check in from time to time, reassess and revise how your organization operates to maintain strong and inclusive teams, leaders, and processes.

How We Help You Achieve Greater Organizational Effectiveness

Service

I work with your executive team and/or board to clarify your strategy, help set priorities, structure effective meetings, and resolve roadblocks to effective decision making. More importantly, I help you analyze and determine whether your organizational structure, processes, capabilities—your operating model—need updating to more effectively implement your strategy. 

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion:

The diversity, equity, and inclusivity of your organization are shaped by both your employees and volunteers, who can advance or undermine your inclusion efforts in every interaction; and by the processes and policies that impact your team. I will help you determine where you are and where you want to go. Then I will guide your team to transform your organization, through DEI tools designed to cultivate a culture where people from all backgrounds and identities can do their best work and thrive.

Executive Team Performance:

Leadership is crucial to the success and sustainability of nonprofits. Nonprofits need a dedicated Board committed to providing support, guidance and strategic direction. They also need a committed Executive Director/CEO who is trained, experienced and capable of managing the organization.  Most importantly the partnership between the Board and the Executive Director/CEO needs to solid and strong. I can help you:

  • Define and benchmark effective CEO leadership, best practices 
  • Clarify Board roles and responsibilities and provide training to help realize the goals 
  • Establish processes for productive and inclusive  interactions and partner leadership.

Aligning Strategy and implementation:
Strategic planning is a core part of any successful nonprofit. The foundation that you lay in planning, sets the direction for your future. It leads you to consider carefully several key interdependent questions: Are you clear about the direction and goals you seek to achieve? What benchmarks do you hope to set and what impact do you hope to make? Will you hold your organization accountable for those goals? How do you bring together your constituents, staff and volunteers along with the resources needed to deliver those results?

We help you clarify your thought processes to articulate your organization’s intended impact and theory of change.We help you evaluate and revise, as needed, your operating model. We help you become the organization you wish to be.
