 What I do_ 

I work with organizations that have been around for a while and now find themselves stuck.

 

You’re doing meaningful work, but strategy isn't turning into action, execution is inconsistent, or your people are feeling overwhelmed. You don’t need more meetings. You don’t need a consultant with a shiny playbook. You need rhythm, focus, and leadership that isn’t drowning.

 

I help organizations simplify their work, reduce risk, and build lasting leadership capacity. I model healthy execution, especially for Executive Directors who need space to lead again. And I do it without making things more complicated than they need to be.

 

This work uplifts and respects your people. It reduces noise. And it gets things moving.

 

In short, I help your organization become more effective.

My Mission_

To help build high-performance, high-trust teams that honor people, defy the critics, and thrive through sustainable execution.

Fractional COO & Execution Coaching for Nonprofits_

I partner with your team to build the habits, structure, and leadership clarity that help your organization execute what matters, calmly and consistently.

​

I often start by helping you take what you already know, your goals and internal conversations, and turn that into a clear, focused strategy with objectives and results your team can actually follow through on.

 

This is not a permanent engagement. I stay as long as it takes to build momentum, and I offer check-ins down the road to help your team stay on point.

What I Help You Do

  • Turn your existing goals and insights into a clear strategy

  • Identify where execution is breaking down

  • Clarify what matters and where capacity is leaking

  • Align strategy with people and structure

  • Build rhythms and habits that last

  • Empower EDs and leadership teams to lead with vision

What It Looks Like

  • Working sessions with your ED and team

  • Milestone-based goals tailored to your reality

  • Coaching to develop leadership habits, not just put out fires

  • Lightly facilitated team rhythms that reduce noise and build trust

The Outcome

  • A team that knows what to prioritize

  • A leadership team that leads with clarity

  • And an organization that doesn’t need lots of heavy lifting to keep going

This work is often supported through local capacity-building grants, and I’m experienced in aligning my engagements with funder expectations and reporting needs.
