It takes courage to lead differently.
The biggest threat to nonprofit sustainability isn't just funding—it's the cultural narrative that personal sacrifice is just part of the job. What if instead of glorifying sacrifice, we started telling different stories?
What if we celebrated leaders who:
Model sustainable practices for their teams
Protect their energy so they can lead for decades, not just years
Create systems that don't depend on one person carrying everything
Show that you can be deeply committed AND take care of yourself
The work is important. The mission matters. AND you matter, too.
What if you could lead transformation instead of being overwhelmed by it?
Strategic Clarity
Learn to make values-aligned decisions even under pressure, trusting yourself and your team to handle what matters most.
Sustainable Practices
Build organizational capacity that doesn't depend on you doing everything or working nights and weekends.
Courageous Conversations
Learn to give and receive feedback, address issues directly instead of avoiding them, and create a culture where healthy conflict drives growth.
I’ve spent over a decade working with mission-driven leaders who refuse to compromise their values for growth. In our work together, I help leaders build the courage to make strategic decisions even under intense pressure.
My approach has guided leaders through:
Scaling organizations ($3M+ growth) while preserving team wellbeing and culture
Strategic business model pivots during market uncertainty and funding crises
Successful leadership transitions and organizational culture transformations
Evolution from operational management to visionary strategic leadership
Stages of Growth
Every engagement begins with Circle of Courage. From there, your path deepens through one-on-one coaching and, when it’s time, bringing your team through the work - whether you’re leading a team or growing your consultancy.
Build your foundation
Join other mission-driven leaders in Circle of Courage cohorts or retreats. Learn and practice evidence-based tools for courageous leadership in a safe, supportive environment.
Implement with Confidence
The messy middle of change is where 1:1 coaching makes all the difference. Get personalized support as you apply new tools, navigate challenges, and sustain your transformation. Leaders who add coaching see measurable, continued growth.
Amplify your impact
Ready to scale your impact? Bring your leadership team through the experience. When teams go through this work together, the shared journey creates the deep connection that drives lasting organizational transformation.
Imagine leading from this place...
Making strategic decisions aligned with your values, not just urgency
Having the tools and confidence for difficult conversations (instead of letting them fester)
Building systems that work without you being the bottleneck
Releasing the patterns, beliefs, and unconscious fears keeping you small, stuck or overwhelmed
Here's what transformation looks like:
When leaders commit to doing the inner work alongside the strategic work, the results speak for themselves.
