Through partnership, we help social impact leaders and nonprofit boards prioritize both the wellbeing of their people and their organizations.

We facilitate strengths-based change, detail strategic steps, ensure programs are trauma-responsive, and create restorative pathways for organizational conflict, all while activating staff and leaders to participate in creating the change they seek.

Organizational Strategy

Together, we take a fresh look at your culture, processes, and overall strategy and listen for areas that can elevate staff wellbeing, team cohesion, and program effectiveness.

We ensure your systems and organizational culture are functioning and responsive to the high levels of stress, burnout, and exposure to trauma our workforce is experiencing.

Board Development

At key junctures, every nonprofit board should reevaluate itself for optimal performance. We aim to source root causes and bridge gaps in understanding so you can move your mission forward.

Let us partner with you for success as you navigate a leadership transition for your board chair or your executive director. We are trained facilitators in conflict transformation and leadership professionals, adept at navigating delicate or tumultuous situations.

Leadership Initiatives

We specialize in designing transformative experiences for leaders. Whether your program is for underrepresented university faculty, reconciliation practitioners, civil society leaders, or leaders from the faith community, we center your participants’ strengths and needs at the heart of the design.

We start by listening. We involve – at the onset – those who will be most impacted and co-design with impact in mind. We unpack assumptions and assess whether your initiative is responsive to the impact of historical and present-day trauma.

Assessment • Ideation • Asset-mapping • Design • Program planning • Strategy • Evaluation design • Implementation and launch timelines
