Is your small or medium-sized company navigating a maze of challenges, including filling resource gaps, cultivating partners, and hiring and growing staff?

Are you struggling to keep focus on the big picture while managing staff, programs and operations?

I work with non-profits and mission-driven organizations to achieve the highest results with limited resources. My clients are organizations who want to not just weather the storm, but to thrive, grow and expand in a challenging climate. I am a resource for companies and executives that must do more with less, achieve audacious goals and provide high quality services to their clients. I do this by:

Executive Coaching and Support:

• Coaching non-profit leaders who want to achieve more and serve their organizations with excellence. It can be lonely at the top. Day-to-day tasks can threaten to derail your progress towards long-term performance objectives. Executives need a sounding board and support to keep the big picture in focus. I help provide the coaching, guidance and feedback executives need to take their performance and their company to the next level.
• Supporting leaders in developing and refining talent. Executive leaders of smaller companies must be sure staff are effectively deployed, have the right skills and are ready to fire on all cylinders. I support executives in evaluating alignment between skills and positions, developing staff, managing performance and identifying training needs and resources. I also help organizations recruit new talent when needed.

Organizational Services:

• Identifying partnerships to achieve maximum leverage. In a time of scarce resources organizations must achieve more with less. Building coalitions and partnerships is one way to achieve that leverage. I assess opportunities and work with you to achieve greater impact.
• Advising organizations on the effective alignment between staff, program and operations. Many small companies struggle as staff and other resources are not deployed in ways that advance the mission. I help you to take a fresh look at how your programs and structure might be revised to better meet your performance objectives.
• Helping organizations articulate a clear vision and message to communicate with stakeholders, policymakers and funders. The key to raising funds, changing public policy and reaching influencers is to speak in a compelling way about the work that you do and the difference you make in the lives of your clients. Clarity can be elusive. I help craft effective messages to communicate your vision to targeted audiences.
