Ways I Can Help

You can’t motivate non-profit employees and volunteers with corporate bonuses and perks - you have to motivate them with a clear vision and communication that shows them how their work is making that vision a reality.

I love to tell stories of how your team’s work affects real people and makes a real difference. And I find opportunities to tell those stories in many ways to reach the largest audience and keep the momentum going. When people see their work changing lives, they don’t just show up, they lean in.

Make Change Easier & More Successful

Change is hard - and it’s messy. I’ve had to communicate emotional decisions such as lay-offs, project closures, budget cuts and initiatives that change the way people work. The risk is always losing good people in the aftermath, or having them lose sight of the goal in all the noise.

My proven change strategies help people understand why change is necessary and how it will lead to a better outcome. Once they have a vision of the end-game, they are better able to accept the change and even advocate for it. I walk them through the hard middle, helping them adapt so the change actually sticks and you don’t leave a trail of casualties behind.

Build Better Communication Strategies & Channels

In the push to maintain funding and bring in donors, communication is often pushed to the side. I help mission-driven organizations develop strategies and tools that work in real life and are sustainable on limited budgets and staff time so they can be maintained long after I leave the building.

That might mean external communication that helps your team drive a consistent message to the right audiences, or internal communication that keeps your people informed, aligned and clear on what matters most. My goal is to build communication strategies that are both effective and realistic, so you can keep all your stakeholders on point without pulling vital energy away from the work only you can do.

Strengthen Your Mission With Strong Branding

At my own non-profit, I learned it wasn’t enough to have a logo and a catchy tagline. We had to build a look and feel to our organization that spoke to our audience and built their trust. Your brand should instantly tell others who you are, what you stand for and why they can believe in you.

I’ll help you define and bring your brand to life so your mission hits harder and your supporters feel more connected and ready to act.
