Strategic Consulting

We work selectively with businesses, non-profits, and public-sector services to create a "springboard" that will accomplish a crucial shift for the organization.

Executive Coaching

Trusted advisory services for one or more members of your leadership team, including: executive-level leadership skills development, business strategies, conflict resolution, and more.

Executive team and board transitions (supporting new leadership, organizational growth, etc.); scenario planning, strategic frameworks and decision-making; innovation sprints; focused workshops and retreats; outside/external board director; and more.

Board and Management Consulting

What makes us different from other consultants?

Partnership. We work closely with you to create changes internally to your organization. We do not do the work for you, and we do not generate reports and recommendations that sit on a shelf. We attune to the culture and your vision - and as we do that, we support you at a sustainable pace to ensure engagement of your team and successful outcomes.

Innovation. With Fortune-ranked corporate experience in innovation management and advanced credentials with Innovation360, we bring the world's best innovation tools and strategies to you. We include research-backed innovation in all of our work, including: understanding innovation horizons, team dynamics, transformation approaches, scenario planning, storytelling, strategic frameworks, innovation assessments, ideation platforms, and project selection/valuation.

Relational and trauma-trained approaches. Often the reason for frustration or resistance to change in an organization has little to do with the task at hand. We've trained with top experts in relational and somatic psychology, stress physiology, neurosciences, and related fields so that we can ease the way.

Sustainability and resilience. Decades of work on sustainability and resilience from different perspectives give us a deep appreciation on what these concepts mean to an organization and its communities. We've also maintained a long affiliation with the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure (including the Zofnass Program at Harvard University).

Experience. We've worked with hundreds of organizations. We've been in the trenches of entrepreneurship; navigated and led initiatives within small and large companies; partnered with public-sector leaders; served on non-profit and academic Boards; and consulted for all kinds and sizes of organizations. We base our approaches in compassion and understanding - applying our experience and current knowledge of workplace trends to your unique business needs.

What do you need now?

We work closely with you to assess where the organization is at and what next step will be most beneficial.

Start Where You Are

It's easy to hone executive leadership skills and explore key concepts of innovation management through executive coaching and workshops. Great for targeted learning and application of new concepts or as a longer-term program.

Set Your Direction

A clear strategic direction for your organization, division, or program will guide you to the results and impact you are looking for. These are future-focused approaches to skillfully face your uncertainties.

Get the Results

Oh, yes, this is the hard part. But we do hard things. This is where all the process and discipline will ensure that your most important strategic initiatives are successful from idea generation through implementation. Your teams will thank you.

US Water Alliance - Value of Water Campaign Development
"We're going to name a conference room after Erin because of the huge impact her risk coaching had on the effectiveness of our organization."

Water Environment Federation
"Our operational risk program has been extremely valuable to us. Not only does it provide a structured process that allows us to take a fresh look at potential risks, but it's been great for team building and fostering understanding as we've continued to expand it and have cross-functional teams looking at particular areas."
