Consulting Services
THE PROBLEM WITH MOST CAPACITY-BUILDING CONSULTING:
Someone comes in, does an assessment, hands you a 40-page strategic plan, and leaves.
Six months later, it's sitting in a Google Drive folder no one opens.
That's not capacity-building. That's expensive paperwork.
Here's what I do differently:
I don't write plans that gather dust. I embed into your organization, work alongside your team, and build systems you can actually sustain after I leave. I bring 25+ years of experience in nonprofit strategy, governance, and operations—plus a law degree and a background in conflict resolution—because building strong organizations requires more than good intentions. It requires structure, clarity, and someone who knows how to navigate the gap between funder expectations and hands-in-the-mud reality.
Fractional Leadership
& Embedded Capacity Support
The Reality: Your ED just left. Or burned out. Or you're scaling faster than your systems can handle, and no one on your team has the bandwidth to figure out operations while also running programs.
You can't afford a full-time COO. But you can't afford to not have someone who knows how to build infrastructure, align boards, and make sure you're not just surviving—but building something sustainable.
What This Looks Like: I step in as your fractional Chief of Staff, COO, or Strategic Advisor. Not as an outsider dropping recommendations, but as part of your leadership team—embedded, hands-on, accountable.
We'll work together to:
-
Clarify roles, streamline decision-making, and get your team working with each other instead of around each other
-
Realign your board so they're governing, not micromanaging
-
Build grant infrastructure that doesn't rely on one overworked person remembering everything
-
Set up systems that funders trust and staff can actually follow
Who This Is For: Organizations recovering from leadership transitions, scaling without infrastructure, or just tired of holding everything together with sheer willpower.
