Become A More Effective Leader

LEAD WITH CONFIDENCE.
LEAD AS YOU.

Step into your own version of leadership, and develop the skills and knowledge needed to meet the unique challenges of the nonprofit sector.

This is the catalyst you’ve been looking for.

Instead of struggling to make a difference, become the aligned leader you were designed to be.

Every morning, you wake up with a mental to-do list that’s already too long. Your inbox is a battlefield, your calendar is stacked with back-to-back meetings, and the actual work – the work that matters – gets put on the back burner. Sound familiar?

You’ve whispered to yourself more times than you can count, “Something’s got to change.”

You’ve tried the traditional approach to leadership – the books, the workshops, the strategies –but they never quite work. They tell you to follow a structure, to lead a certain way, to squeeze yourself into a mold that just doesn’t feel like you. You feel tired from navigating a constant slew of expectations that were never meant to define you in the first place, and deep down you know it’s holding you back from being the leader you know you can be.

You didn’t choose this line of work because it was easy, you chose it because you want to make a difference.

I get it – leadership in the nonprofit world is a whole different game. It’s not just about strategy and decision-making; it’s about heart, impact, and carrying the weight of a mission that truly matters.

I will never claim to have all the answers, but I do know this: you shouldn’t have to look, act, or lead a certain way to be taken seriously. You don’t need another generic leadership framework, you need something (and someone) that supports YOU.

My approach is rooted in championing the person behind the mission, and bridging the gap between personal and professional development.

Imagine embracing your strengths, your passions, and what drives you, so you can lead with confidence and create the kind of impact you set out to make in the first place.

Stop leading like them – and start leading like YOU.

This sector needs more people like you to break free from the status quo – to stop forcing themselves into a leadership box that was never made for them.

Because real leadership? It isn’t about playing by someone else’s rules. It’s about creating your own, and leading in a way that feels aligned so you can champion your cause, your way.

You didn’t sign up for this work just to check boxes and follow guidelines. You got into it because you care. Because at some point, this work lit a fire inside you.

It’s time to remember why you started in the first place. Are you ready?

What you can count on

Picture a coaching style that speaks to both sides of you – the striving professional and the heart-centred person you are. Unlike traditional leadership experiences that follow rigid frameworks, our journey will follow a flexible roadmap. Designed to honor your unique qualities and personal nuances, we will adjust and refine together to match your pace and meet your evolving needs.

  • During our weekly one hour calls, we will move through the three pillars of my signature framework, equipping you with the accountability and clarity needed for greater impact.

  • After each session you’ll receive a follow-up roadmap summarizing key points and action items so you know exactly what to focus on. Just like parents track their kids height on the doorframe this will also help measure your own growth.

  • I am now part of your support squad and will help you ease the pressure of being a leader and navigate challenges so you feel less alone. Whether it’s a passion pump up you need, or a reminder that you’re doing a great job, I will be there.

  • I will strive to create a space where you feel safe and supported, and can share without judgement. I agree not disclose any personal information shared between us without your permission.

These sessions are yours

Below are the three pillars of my framework that support how we work together.

Foundation

We start with uncovering what matters to you most, why you do the work you do, and what drives you. We will also explore a modality called Human Design to call out your strengths and learn how you make decisions best.

Friction

Together we will identify your biggest challenges, explore your resistance, and position this in the broader context of you and your work.

Focus

We will discuss, decide, and develop where you want to go – and how you’re going to get there. This may include personal or professional goal setting, or discussing grant strategies that will support your mission.

Book an inquiry call and we’ll explore whether this is the right fit for us both and what you need most to be successful.
