Leadership development for the seat between strategy and execution.
I work with mid-level nonprofit leaders — and the organizations developing them — to build leadership that holds up under real conditions: limited resources, complex stakeholders, and the constant work of translating strategy into action through other people.
Working with HomeGrown Strategies has been a game-changer for our organization. Their strategic planning and coaching services have helped us foster systemic changes and make sustainable improvements.
You're navigating priorities that shift faster than they're communicated.
Translating strategy into action through people who don't all see it the same way.
Holding standards while protecting trust.
Trying to grow as a leader while everyone around you assumes you've already got it figured out.
Most leadership programs aren’t built for that work. Executive content sits too high. Manager basics sit too low. The middle — where the actual translation happens — gets skipped.
That’s the seat I build for.
How I work with nonprofits
Confidare Leadership Cohort
A 9-month assessment-driven cohort for mid-level nonprofit leaders. Built around six leadership domains, structured around real practice with peer support, and measured at the end with proof of growth.
For
Organizations
Send leaders to the open Confidare cohort, run a private cohort for your leadership bench (eight or more leaders), or build a custom workshop, retreat, or coaching engagement for your team.
Strategic
Planning
For nonprofits navigating a strategic inflection point, I facilitate planning processes built around real choice, real focus, and real follow-through. New offer launching in 2026.
