Leadership & Governance
Through coaching, facilitation and change management support, we help boards and staff clarify their roles, align their strengths and take action to make the greatest community impact.
Here's how we can help:
Executive Coaching
Navigate the complexities of leading for change with one-on-one support from one of our senior advisors.
Leadership Development
Design a tailored curriculum with group sessions and individual coaching to develop leadership across your organization.
Board Development
Transform your board leadership to deepen mission impact with learning opportunities, impactful retreats and on-going support.
"The culture of our board had historically been to check the box. Board service was treated as a bit of an obligation or a peripheral priority. Through this process I think something fundamental shifted for all of us. We were no longer talking about an executive director or somebody else being the leader of the organization. We thought, 'oh, we're talking about us.'"

Case Studies
Grantmakers of Western Pennsylvania (GWP)
As GWP entered a period of transition, we helped the board of directors pause and reflect on the organization's evolutions as well as their role as a governing body. Through a series of conversations, the directors redefined their role as a board, stepping into deeper, more active leadership during a critical time.
Lora & Martin Kelley Family Foundation
We held space for the Kelley family as they integrated a new generation of family members and trustees into their work. Together we explored concepts of power, unpacked the meaning behind legal board duties and anchored the family's work in shared values and intentions across generation lines.
Avery Denison Foundation
We worked with Avery Dennison Foundation's board of directors and governance committee to review and refresh their core board documents with their values at the center. The process helped clarify roles and prime both staff and board for their strategy work.
