Every organization has strengths to build on and challenges to navigate.

My role isn't to hand you a prepackaged solution—it's to help your team ask better questions, make better decisions, and build the confidence to move forward together. The services below can stand alone or be combined into a customized engagement designed around your organization's needs.

Services

A plan only works if people believe in it.

Together, we’ll create a planning process that builds shared vision, aligns priorities, and results in a practical roadmap your team is prepared to carry forward.

Strategic Planning

As a Certified Six Types of Working Genius Facilitator, I help teams discover how they naturally contribute, where work gets stuck, and how to collaborate more effectively.

These workshops are engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to everyday work.

Executive & Leadership Coaching

Leadership can be lonely.

Coaching provides a trusted space to think through difficult decisions, strengthen leadership skills, and gain perspective on the challenges that come with leading people.

Meetings matter when they produce decisions.

I design and facilitate retreats, planning sessions, board meetings, and stakeholder conversations that keep groups focused, engaged, and moving toward meaningful outcomes.

Facilitation

Every organization depends on strong leaders.

Whether working with new supervisors or experienced executives, leadership development focuses on communication, culture, change management, and leading with intention.

Leadership Cohorts

Some of the best work begins with a simple question: "Can you help us with this?"

Many of my favorite partnerships have started that way. If your challenge doesn't fit neatly into one of the services above, let's talk about what you need and how I can help.

Special Projects

  • "In my 20+ years of being a non-profit executive, one of the greatest challenges I’ve faced is finding the opportunities to unpack the challenges and lessons we face every day. An objective voice to listen, challenge the assumptions, work through the noise, and support me as I identify the skills and attitude necessary to navigate this leadership role. Working with Emily through coaching was one of the most rewarding opportunities of my professional journey. She listens without judging, challenges without threatening, and throughout the process, calls you to be and do better, each step along the away! I can't recommend it enough."

    — Stephen, client

  • "The strategic planning process with Emily coalesced our team—Board and staff—around our essential and fundamental core mission. She helped us recommit to our strengths that ultimately translated into more meaningful community impact while deepening our bonds to one another as a team. Emily left us with practical, actionable plans that undergird our work even 10 years later."

    — Ellen, client

  • "Emily did a superb job leading our team through a structured strategic planning process. Her thorough preparation and skilled facilitation enabled us to develop a plan with clear, actionable, mission-aligned goals. Despite a challenging and evolving non-profit landscape, Emily helped us identify energizing pathways for strategic growth. As a seasoned non-profit manager and board member, I’ve been part of numerous strategic planning processes. Hands down, Emily was the best facilitator with whom I’ve had the opportunity to work!"

    Elizabeth, client

  • "I learned so much through leadership coaching with Emily! She always listened, helped slow down my thinking, and asked just the right questions that helped me end each session not only more confident in what my next steps might be but also in myself."

    — Natalie, client

  • "Emily helped me thoughtfully grow our internal capacity and create structure in all pieces of my work, from supervising staff, to preparing for board and membership meetings, to testifying before the legislature, to improving relationships with frustrated partners. She helped me to look inward in new ways and see the 'why' behind various pressure points. This inward, reflective work has not only helped me on a profesisonal development level, but it has helped me to establish organizational stability and decision-making."

    — Kate, client

  • "Emily worked with our team to develop and facilitate a cohort-based leadership development program. She worked with us to design agendas that balanced both peer learning and specific skill development. What was so amazing about working with Emily was that she not only helped us design and facilitate this program but along the way trained us in facilitation and cohort design so that we could do it on our own for the next cohort!"
