I help leaders, philanthropists, and companies do more good.

.

Let’s do some good together.

  • Thought partnership

    Leading is lonely, and we all do better with a trusted partner to support us. I have real, recent experience with the kinds of issues you are dealing with.

  • Strategy and revenue

    What are you trying to get done? How will you pay for it? Let’s get clear, so that both the process and the product leave your organization stronger.

  • Change management

    There is a ton of transition in the social impact space right now: people, strategy, values, business models. The stakes are high for getting it right.

 

Why me?

Over a couple of decades of running things - a successful Congressional race, press offices in Afghanistan and Bosnia, Mercy Corps’ global fundraising and marketing team, a thriving social enterprise — I have learned some valuable lessons about leadership and social impact.

One of those lessons is that sometimes the right outside partner can help you and your colleagues think differently, break out of the stuck-ness, and do something special together.

I have been on the client side of relationships with social impact consulting outfits large and small, so I have a good sense of how to make these projects work well, with less risk of wasting your time, money, and social capital.

It all starts with a conversation, so give me a shout.

"You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light . Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won."
