The Fundamental Source of Nonprofit Strength
Our belief is that nonprofit success can be achieved by focusing on a few foundational sources of strength. Nonprofit leaders need not be overwhelmed. With a guide to lead you, you can succeed at your worthy mission by leaving behind distractions and directing your focus with intention and power.
We equip nonprofit leaders with transformational skills in four transformational disciplines that dramatically strengthen and expand your capacity to do good.
We guide, coach, and mentor you and your team toward proficiency in these four vital pillars of success, positioning your organization for sustainability and optimizing performance. We equip you with powerful tools that grow and endure within your organization.
These four areas of focus, when working optimally,
breathe life into your mission.
Values-Based Board Governance:
The Foundation for Enduring Success
We equip your board with a comprehensive operating system that provides precise clarity of roles and responsibilities, resulting in powerfully effective leadership. It all begins with training for your entire board so that each member understands how they will contribute to creating something that is life-changing.
We help you develop the skills to:
- Lead with confidence and effectiveness.
- Identify what it means for the organization to succeed.
- Communicate expectations with precision and clarity.
When a nonprofit board functions optimally, guided by a comprehensive and coherent system of governance, board meetings are characterized by camaraderie, clarity, fruitful deliberation, achievement, leadership, effectiveness, and fulfillment. Your team will begin to experience superior results and stronger relationships.

- Align with your mission.
- Create impact on behalf of those you serve.
- Inspire support from stakeholders.
A comprehensive strategic plan guides every aspect of your organization, from marketing to operations to finance, enabling you to move forward with a new sense of purpose and clarity.

Executive Recruitment:
Positioning every team member for achievement
The process of identifying and recruiting high-impact team members begins with developing a clear understanding of what it means to be successful in the role. While the achievement of your mission depends upon bringing the right people onto your team, you have demands on your time that leave little room for recruitment.
That’s where we step in. We employ a variety of tools to identify candidates with the skills, experience, and intangibles that can contribute to the success of your organization and thrive in your culture.
