How I can best help you

We help nonprofits strengthen their foundations by addressing the critical—but often overlooked—issues of succession, leadership culture, and operational dependency. If your organization is overly reliant on a founder, struggling to navigate transition, or feeling the friction of misaligned leadership, we guide you through the process of restructuring for sustainability.

Using our Shift Intelligence method, we surface hidden dynamics that may be holding your team back and help you build the systems, clarity, and culture needed to grow your impact with confidence, especially during times of change.
