This is a roll-up-our-sleeves, get-into-it-together, strategic collaboration. My structured, guided process will help you quickly identify the biggest obstacles to your mission and chart a path to success.

With Roadblocked to Resolved, you and I will - in one day! - develop a plan to overcome one thorny challenge by:

Getting to the heart of the issue, so you can focus your attention where it’s most needed
Envisioning a brighter future through tangible goals to set a clear direction forward
Building a targeted plan of action with specific steps toward your desired changes

I'm Ready to Get STarted!

In One Day Together, You Will:

Get to the Heart of the Issue

I’ll guide you through questions to reframe your challenges and home in on the most crucial, underlying obstacles.

With a precise understanding of what’s not working and why, you’ll have clarity about where to focus your attention.

Example: A nonprofit client wanted help rebranding. Through our work together, they discovered an underlying issue: key stakeholders were confused about their core mission, confounded by an ineffective governance structure.

Envision a Brighter Future

Together, we’ll explore new possibilities for how things will be once your challenge is resolved.

A tangible vision for an improved situation will help you determine what needs to change for your mission to succeed.

Example: A public library wanted to become a more valuable resource for their community. I worked with them to identify specific ways they could serve a larger role - as a space for multiple community events, functions, and gatherings.

Build a Targeted Plan of Action

We’ll work together to identify the initial, practical steps you can take toward resolution - and toward mission success.

Getting started can be the hardest part! Knowing what steps to take first will make it easier to start bringing about the change you need.

Example: A nonprofit client wanted to make the transition to more sustainable operations, funding, and governance. We built a plan together to leverage their existing strengths and assets - a strong community of supporters - to start stabilizing key operations.
