Understanding Our Directory: Consultants vs. Business Services
When navigating our directory, here is how we distinguish between "Consultants" and "Business Services" to find the ideal support for your nonprofit's needs.
ALF Insights (ALFI) is committed to bringing groups of people together in spaces of productive tension in order to build deeper relationships that lead to the creation of powerful community impact. As an experienced convener of cross sector leaders, ALFI has the ability to emerge new frameworks for how an organization manages change and embraces dynamic processes that use tension as a vehicle to bring your work to the next level.
ALF Insights (ALFI) knows, through its many years of working with diverse groups, that the creation and maintenance of relationships is critical for the success of any working group. The ability for members to authentically share their personal and professional value propositions, take risks and to seek common ground, is inherently connected to the quality of relationships within the team. Our goal is to design a highly personalized program that will move both relationships and impact forward. It is important to note that generative social-impact groups are a picture of evolving social relationships AND a robust platform for sustained production and impact. The process of learning, creating, implementing, evaluating and iterating should become a cultural norm for an organization or network. When this process is built into the day to day ethos of an organization, it allows for growth, flexibility, nimbleness and responsiveness to the needs of employees, those served and the larger community.
Our Vision: We envision a community of served clients that have become impactful leaders through their ability to foster:
- Emotionally intelligent leadership that creates high functioning organizational culture
- Quality decision making processes that leads to better results and outcomes
- Clear, strategic thinking that brings forth innovative service models
- Productive dialogues that support organizational strategy and innovation
Our Mission: ALFI creates spaces of productive tension that maximize growth, mitigate harm and leverage the development of strategic opportunities.
Our Values
- Belonging and Relationships: We seek to curate spaces that promote inclusion, intentionality, empathy and grace.
- Tension and Growth: We embrace tension as a leverage point for interpersonal and strategic growth. We foster learning environments that support progress over perfection and celebrate learning through curiosity.
- Innovation & Impact: We seek to provide clear processes that spark innovation and move forward an organization’s strategic goals.
From designing and building your website to helping you improve and manage it over time, I’m here as your go-to partner for all things web. I’ve spent years leading digital projects—working with creative teams, developers, and clients to launch sites that not only look great but work for the businesses behind them. Along the way, I’ve delivered web based projects for brands like BumbleBee Seafoods, Clif Bar, Zeiss, and Clorox.
Now, I work directly with business owners, founders, and in-house teams who need someone reliable to guide and execute their web projects. Whether you're starting from scratch, refreshing an outdated site, or just need help making ongoing improvements, I bring the strategy, design sense, and technical know-how to move things forward with clarity and confidence.
My job is to make the process efficient and straightforward. I’ll help you understand what your site really needs, then build it to grow with your business through a trusted and collaborative approach.
I also work in close partnership with Axes Agency, bringing added depth in creative direction, content strategy, and brand development when needed.
