A steady hand in a shaky world
Client Journeys
Lean & Strategic
A small but mighty non-profit organization was looking to find creative ways to cut costs and simultaneously enhance services. We created a partnership with a significant referral partner to move our services inside their facility, reducing overhead dramatically while improving program outcomes by operating in closer proximity to clients.
Guided & Confident
A new Interim Executive Director of a small non-profit in need of a reboot asked for guidance on organizing a plan for her first 90 days to present to the Board. We worked together through a series of assessment questions and collaborated on an ambitious, yet achievable 90-day plan. She received a permanent position and a big boost in confidence!
Restored & Thriving
A large and complex multi-million dollar non-profit organization needed to bring the budget from the red to the black and heal a significant rift in trust between staff and board. We worked together to build a team, create visibility and transparency, restore relationships with community stakeholders and become an award-winning, thriving organization.
What People Are Saying
“
Operating with *absolute integrity*, she made sure that maximal results were achieved with the limited resources we had while adhering to often byzantine legal and funding guidelines. Laura is not afraid 'to get ugly, early' because she has the courage to take challenges head-on, and the wisdom to know that situations only deteriorate with neglect and indecision.
— SETH PASKIN, Director of Operations, BMC Software
