Changing the World Starts with You

 Looking to design a meaningful event?  I have extensive experience organizing in person, multi-day convenings for small and large networks.  I also am a skilled facilitator and available to lead internal team or external partner discussions.  

Sound Familiar? You have the ideas and passion, but find yourself saying…

1. Why am I always overwhelmed and never have enough time?
2. If only my teams could do more, but they seem to need me all the time.
3. I am working so hard but not having the desired impact.
4. I am so lonely.

The truth is, you are not alone. According to the Harvard Business Review, half of CEOs express feelings of loneliness.

Through regularly-scheduled 1:1 meetings, I can help you:

1. Delegate more ownership to your team and focus more on what you love to do
2. Identify the bottlenecks keeping you from having the impact you want
3. Optimize your internal team processes with a structured yet iterative approach
4. Develop a cohesive culture with rituals to maximize teamwork

  Early-stage organizations are often lean and adaptable, but lack the structure and capacity needed for long-term sustainability. In fact, 50% of organizations fail within the first 5 years, often due to lack of vision, unsupported leadership, and failure to hire and build a strong team. The good news is: Your organization does not need to be part of this statistic.

I can help you:

1. Develop your vision, mission, and values
2. Move your long-term strategy into your day-to-day plans to engage and inspire your team and stakeholders
3. Design and implement strong systems across the full range of business operations, including finances, human resources, and IT 
4. Identify your ideal customer or stakeholder
5. Create or refine your social value proposition
6. Analyze your industry and market
7. Develop your social business plan pitch
8. Develop team onboarding best practices
9. Create a donor relations strategy

Culture is built person by person, team by team, day by day.  Unfortunately, only 3 in 10 U.S. employees strongly agree with the statement that their opinions count at work. This is due to a lack of psychological safety, clear goals, clear roles, and mutual accountability. 

Whether you need project-based support or ongoing support from an experienced COO embedded into your team (at a fraction of the cost!), I can help you:

1. Develop a multi-year strategic plan and annual operations plans (that track metrics!) to ensure actions align with objectives
2. Develop project management practices that clearly define roles and authority, while integrating equity and inclusion throughout
3. Shift from top-down answers to co-created solutions through Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
4. Build a team culture that is trauma-informed to create psychological safety
5. Scale your organization, including programs and culture
6. Executive succession planning
