As a former Executive Director, I'm on a mission to prevent nonprofit leaders from experiencing isolation and burn out. My journey has led me to understand the unique challenges faced by those at the helm of mission-driven organizations. Nonprofits and their leaders are critical to the fabric of our society. They tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time, from social justice to environmental protection, often with limited resources and immense pressure. The passion, dedication, and resilience of nonprofit leaders drive positive change in our communities and beyond. Their work not only addresses immediate needs but also shapes a better future for all of us. That's why supporting these leaders and organizations is not just beneficial—it's essential for the health and progress of our society. During my ten-year tenure as the Executive Director of Green Foothills, I worked alongside a brilliant team to achieve significant milestones, including protecting 7,400 acres of open space and farmland in Coyote Valley. While our work received recognition and we had an incredibly dedicated community of staff, volunteers, and supporters, I also experienced firsthand the isolation and overwhelming workload that many nonprofit leaders face. This realization led me to launch my consulting and leadership coaching business in 2023. I offer tailored services designed to help nonprofit Executive Directors, leaders, and boards overcome isolation, manage overwhelming workloads, and lead their organizations more effectively. My approach combines a focus on the big picture with meticulous attention to detail. I provide a unique blend of social support, strategic thought partnership, and hands-on assistance. Unlike traditional executive coaching, my services are practical and holistic, addressing both personal growth and organizational health. ​ I offer several key services: - Executive Director Mastery and Balance: Helping executive directors increase confidence, improve decision-making, and enhance job satisfaction. - Leadership Coaching and Mental Fitness Training: Assisting leaders in overcoming personal and professional challenges, reducing mental blocks, and aligning with their core values and life purpose. - Organizational Health Assessment and Implementation: Conducting comprehensive evaluations to enhance operational effectiveness, governance, and program impact. - Strategic Planning and Implementation: Facilitating inclusive processes to create clear, actionable plans that drive long-term sustainability. - Leadership Transition and Interim Support: Ensuring smooth operations and stability during leadership changes. Program Development and Grant Writing: Aligning programs with organizational missions and funder priorities to increase impact and success. My expertise spans governance, fundraising, coalition building, advocacy, coaching, program development, tribal collaboration, human resources, and more. I bring this wealth of experience to every organization I serve. Whether you're a new leader finding your footing, a seasoned pro concerned about burnout, or an organization navigating change, I'm here to be your ally and strategic partner. Together, we'll work on both organizational health and personal growth, making your leadership journey more effective, sustainable, and fulfilling. Let's talk about your vision and explore how we can create positive change together. I'm excited to learn about your challenges and aspirations, and to support you in making a lasting impact.

In my consulting, coaching, and facilitation I strive to create "brave spaces" where nonprofit leaders and organizations can authentically engage. To quote Micky ScottBey Jones: "Because there is no such thing as a "safe space" ... We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds...We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere, We call each other to more truth and love...It will not always be what we wish it to be but it will be our brave space together. And we will work on it side by side." In my business, I prioritize: Making my services accessible to a diverse range of nonprofit leaders and organizations. Fostering inclusive leadership Designing equity-centered programs Incorporating diverse perspectives in strategic planning, amplifying voices often unheard Respecting Indigenous cultures and sovereignty Advocating for culturally sensitive community engagement strategies Committing to continuous learning and self-reflection in RJEDI principles Helping organizations measure and evaluate their progress in equity and inclusion efforts Through these practices, I aim to not only create brave spaces for dialogue and growth but also to drive measurable, lasting change in the organizations I serve.
