Our approach is informed by two decades of work with hundreds of social change leaders and organizations.
We know what works and what doesn't.
At the heart of every client engagement is an exploratory conversation. We listen and learn from you. How do you define success for this project? From this initial conversation, we design a tailor-made project that meets your goals and timeline. Your input informs our work every step of the way.
Our approach is guided by these key principles:
COLLABORATION
We partner with you to get you where you need to go. We trust that you and your staff are the experts on your organization. We leverage your insider knowledge with our objective perspective and decades of experience to give you a fresh vantage point.
CREATIVITY
Tired of the same old, same old? As in, same old meeting agenda..same old group dynamics at play…same old approach. So are we! We use dynamic facilitation that encourages curiosity and openness – key ingredients for creativity. We work with you to identify your strengths and what works in your organization so that you can tackle the tough issues…with energy, hope and excitement.
RESULTS
We want you to be so successful that you won’t need to work with us again. From the start, we pay attention to implementation and the impact you want to have. We make sure that you have an action plan and structure in place to support sustainable results, long after our role in your organization is complete.
TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE
Like a caterpillar’s evolution to a butterfly, transformative change requires a profound shift – one so fundamental that you won’t ever go back to exactly the way things were. We bring a systems-lens to your project so that we can identify, together, the opportunities for transformation. We won’t settle for less, and we don’t think you should either.
COACHING
I want to rise above the daily grind and take my leadership to the next level
TEAM BUILDING
I want a high-performing team that works together to get great results and isn’t afraid of tough conversations
LEADERSHIP
I want dynamic skill-building so my team has the self-awareness, focus and toolkit to inspire and lead others confidently
“We regularly hear from members seeking support around employee retention, workplace culture, and navigating difficult conversations. Amanda’s training on Giving and Receiving Feedback offered participants helpful reminders, time to experiment, and a boost of confidence to put the tools shared immediately into practice in their workplaces. Amanda brings both head and heart to her facilitation and took the fear out of a topic that many find difficult. I’m certain the nonprofit leaders who participated will use and model the skills gained to foster cultures of learning, collaboration, and growth.”
