We design inclusive strategic planning processes that help organizations clarify their purpose, goals, and priorities. We believe strategic planning can be joyful, energizing, and deeply meaningful—and we bring this spirit to our work. Our approach supports long-term visioning while staying grounded in day-to-day realities. We often say, "our process is our product." While the team walks away with a clear, actionable, and adaptable written plan, they also gain new skills and tools to support ongoing collaboration and cooperation.

Our four goals for strategic planning are:

1. Strengthen collaboration and alignment across the organization.

2. Ensure everyone feels heard and invested in the plan because they see themselves reflected in it.

3. Center equity and justice in the goals, strategies, and outcomes—especially for communities most impacted by systemic inequities.

4. Deliver a clear, measurable, and flexible roadmap for moving forward.

We offer coaching that supports individual growth, team alignment, leadership development, holistic management, and effective communication. Grounded in healing, equity, and collective care, our approach is especially supportive for those working in justice and liberation spaces. We bring a liberatory lens to every coaching relationship, helping clients reconnect with purpose, power, and clarity.

This service is ideal for individuals and teams navigating transitions, burnout, or the need for renewed focus and direction.

We design and facilitate retreats that blend structure and creativity to support meaningful participation, connection, and alignment. Whether you’re planning a staff retreat, a board retreat, or a team-building experience, our inclusive approach meets groups where they are and helps them move forward with clarity and cohesion.

Our retreats are tailored to strengthen relationships, build trust, and generate momentum toward shared goals.

We help organizations design and implement shared leadership approaches that reflect equity, trust, and distributed power. This may include co-leadership structures, rotating roles, and systems for collective accountability.

This service is ideal for mission-driven teams moving away from traditional hierarchies or experimenting with new ways of working together.

Many organizations want to improve transparency, accountability, and decision-making but aren’t sure where to start. We help teams identify the structural, procedural, and relational barriers that hinder effective decision-making. Then, we co-create shared language, clear processes, and supportive structures that define types of decisions, who should be involved, how decisions are made, and what to do when consensus isn’t possible.

This service is ideal for organizations seeking more clarity, shared responsibility, and effective governance.

Tension and conflict are expected, sometimes even necessary, within teams committed to equity and justice. This work demands navigating complex emotions: grief, hope, joy, rage, and resilience. Often, personal experiences with injustice intensify the stress. We support teams in identifying the root causes of tension, rebuilding trust, clarifying roles, and developing effective collaboration practices.

Our approach centers care, addresses power dynamics directly, and fosters communication that is honest, respectful, and healing.

We weave together strategy design, capacity-building, and participatory processes so fundraising and development are a collective, values-aligned practice and shared responsibility.

Our coaching and strategy support includes:

• Co-creating fundraising models rooted in values like reciprocity, transparency, and community accountability.

• Practicing inclusive tools and processes for participatory and authentic donor cultivation.

• Coaching in relationship and justice-centered donor communications and stewardship.

• Aligning fundraising goals with staff capacity, strategic priorities, and values and principles.

• Establishing feedback systems like donor listening sessions and internal retrospectives to ensure accountability.

We support organizations in developing a clear theory of change that connects their day-to-day work to long-term impact and vision. A strong theory of change can:

• Illuminate how current activities contribute to your mission and where there are gaps or opportunities for growth.

• Help staff connect their work to the broader organizational vision.

• Clarify your organization’s scope and role for funders, partners, and clients.

• Ensure your goals and milestones align with your vision for systemic change.

Once developed, a theory of change can guide strategy, support fundraising, and inform evaluation and learning.
