FOR CONSULTANTS
Building a values-aligned consulting practice in a volatile time
Independent consulting can be isolating, and the sector you serve is under real pressure.
I work with consultants who want to build practices that are grounded in their values, sustainable for them, and useful to the organizations they serve.
Loving Accountability for Practitioners
Learn the framework behind my work, and explore a deeper path
This offering helps you bring the Loving Accountability framework into your own practice. We’ll work through real situations and build language for accountability grounded in care and rigor.
The framework itself is freely shared under a Creative Commons license. I am also developing a full set of toolkits and a practitioner training for consultants who want to go deeper. [Join the interest list] to hear first and help shape what’s offered.

Governance and Board Consulting
Tend to power structures effectively
Many consultants find that board work is where engagements get complicated. I offer practical grounding in board roles, power dynamics, and governance design, drawing on my BoardSource Certificate of Nonprofit Board Consulting, six years as a Board Chair, and my liberatory governance work with foundations and nonprofits. I can help you:
- Make sense of what’s happening in a board-related engagement
- Design governance processes that put values into practice
- Bring confidence and care to work with boards and CEOs
Mentorship and Thought Partnership on Your Client Work
Strengthen your impact through action learning
Bring me a proposal, a facilitation design, or a client situation you are stuck on. We'll pressure test your approach, anticipate where things may get hard, and prepare you to lead with clairty. I'll bring my learnings from decades of hands-on experience serving clients.
Available as a single session or an ongoing advisory relationship
