The demands on nonprofit leaders can feel overwhelming

Relying too heavily on a few people

​

​

Always fire-fighting

​

​

Juggling competing needs from different stakeholders

​

​

You've got more to do than you can handle alone

​

​

You've gotten stuck working in silos, but need to be more collaborative to stay afloat and avoid burnout

Everyone is wondering how to navigate the best way forward

Individuals and teams

​

You've got heart (and you give a damn)

​

Your organization is here to make a positive difference in the world

​

You know you're in a position to make an impact

​

You got to where you are because you know how to figure things out

​

You're at a transition point: and ending or a new beginning​

​

We're here to help.

Allie is amazing at asking good questions to evoke and build on my own wisdom and strengths to know how to respond to situations. Her change management skills were especially helpful in navigating dynamics across this leadership transition.

Adapt to big leadership changes

preserving institutional knowledge while embracing fresh perspectives and momentum.

​

Translate your big picture into visual, actionable, measurable plans

that leverage your team's strengths. 

​

 

Chart a path through uncertainty and resistance to change

with more transparency and buy-in.

​

 

Create a more thriving, resilient team culture

where goals and ways of working reinforce rather than compete.

Allie really helped us break down silos and open up more transparency and creativity around what we else we can do through her [workplace wellbeing] process. There's more buy-in as a result. People feel more in control with the thought of shared leadership."

Wendy, Director of Advancement

We get it. You're building the plane
while you fly it. 

The stakes are high. That's why it's crucial you invest in your collective capacity to meet your mission during this transition.

I really appreciated the attention you paid to getting to know us and our culture. Your expertise to organize and make sense of our financial data, set up forms, and your facilitation to get our team to some solid next steps strategically were so valuable.

Nicole, Co-Executive Director

While we've done with work for big companies, we prefer to focus on small to mid-sized, community-focused organizations.
