Who I work with
Organizations at a Moment That Matters
I work with education organizations that are doing meaningful work and are navigating growth, complexity, or transition with limited internal capacity.
These organizations are often under pressure to make decisions, demonstrate progress, and move forward without overextending their teams. They don’t need more activity. They need clarity, momentum, and senior partnership close enough to the work to make it move.
Education Nonprofits &
Learning Organizations
Mission-driven organizations operating in complex funding, policy, and partnership environments.
These organizations are often strong in purpose and programs, but navigating questions about growth, sustainability, or execution, especially as expectations from funders and partners increase.
Common situations include:
-
Strategy or priorities feel fragmented
-
Growth pathways are unclear or risky
-
Leadership is stretched across too many initiatives
-
Narrative and market presence lag behind the quality of the work
Higher Education Units
Professional learning, workforce, and continuing education leaders working within large institutions.
​
These units are often tasked with launching new offerings, generating revenue, or demonstrating workforce relevance while navigating slow decision-making and limited senior capacity for execution.
Common situations include:
-
Unclear what to scale or sunset
-
Complex internal approval structures
-
Limited bandwidth to lead strategy and growth alongside daily operations
Ecosystem & Cross-Sector Initiatives
Collaborations involving multiple organizations, funders, or partners—often with a shared vision but diffuse ownership.
These initiatives tend to stall not because of lack of alignment on goals, but because execution authority and decision-making are unclear.
Common situations include:
-
Momentum fades after initial planning
-
Roles and accountability are ambiguous
-
Narrative must work across diverse stakeholders
Funder-Backed Initiatives & Intermediary-Led Efforts
Time-bound engagements supporting initiatives backed by funders or intermediaries, where execution risk is high and sustained momentum matters.
This work often focuses on strengthening strategy, activating direction, and supporting leadership capacity, while respecting local ownership and ensuring the work remains grounded in the communities and organizations involved.
