Clarity

Everything starts with clarity. Know why you exist and where you are going so that you can stay focused on the impact.

CLEAR Session

I interview two of your leaders, draft your CLEAR plan on my own, and bring it back for your feedback: who you serve, the change you make, and how you’ll show it.

Choose this if you want your plan on one page, and two leaders can carry it back to your team.

What’s included

  • A short intake form before we meet
  • One 2-hour working session online
  • Your draft plan within a week
  • One round of feedback, then your final plan
  • 90 days of implementation support

You leave with

  • Your plan on one page (the CLEAR Blueprint)
  • One goal for the year
  • Three measures of success, each with an owner
  • Every decision, with an owner and a date

What it asks of your team: An intake form, a 2-hour session, feedback on your draft, and sharing the plan with your team.
When: Scheduled with you
Who attends: Your ED plus one other leader

How to start: Pick a time for your 2-hour session. I’ll send a short intake form before we meet, and an invoice once your booking is confirmed.

CLEAR Intensive

Everyone on your team shares their view in a short survey. I draft one plan from what I hear, then your staff and board meet for a half-day to react, align, and decide, with 90 days of support after.

Choose this if you want your whole staff and board behind one plan, with everyone’s voice in it.

What’s included

  • A kickoff call with your ED and chair
  • A short survey for every participant
  • A draft plan, built from what I hear
  • A half-day together, or two 2-hour sessions, to align on the draft
  • Your final plan within a week
  • Check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days

You leave with

  • One plan your team can say from memory
  • Every decision, with an owner and a date
  • Three measures with baselines
  • A source for proposals and reports

What it asks of your team: Every participant completes a short survey before we meet, so everyone’s voice is in the draft. Plus a kickoff call, 4 hours together to react to the draft and decide, and 30, 60, and 90-day check-ins.
When: Scheduled with your team
Who attends: Staff and board together, 6–15 people

How to start: If you want your whole team behind one plan, let’s talk. We’ll make sure it’s the right fit and the right time for your staff and board, then I’ll send the survey and we’ll set your dates. There’s no commitment, and I’ll send an invoice only if we decide to move forward.

Budget Clarity

You send me your current budget and accounting numbers. I turn them into a grant-ready budget that’s easy to read and easy to understand, within two weeks of our meeting.

Choose this if your budget is a list of accounts, and you can’t say what each program costs.

What’s included

  • A grant-ready budget anyone can read
  • True program costs, personnel included
  • A 90-minute meeting to review the numbers

You leave with

  • An organization budget your board can approve
  • A budget for each program
  • A one-page version for donors and funders

What it asks of your team: Your budget, paid-staff job descriptions, and a point person for questions.
When: Start anytime
Who attends: Your ED, and whoever keeps the books

No budget yet? I’ll quote it. I don’t do bookkeeping, audits, or tax, but I have great referrals.

How to start: If your budget is a list of accounts, let’s talk. You’ll send me what you have, we’ll make sure it’s a good fit, and I’ll set up your 90-minute meeting. There’s no commitment, and I’ll send an invoice only if we decide to move forward.

The CLEAR Framework

My CLEAR Framework guides these offerings. I believe when you have clarity, confidence is the direct result.

The CLEAR framework, a system for internal clarity. Core Claim: we connect your mission to a clear strategy so your daily work directly drives your intended impact. Listen and Learn: we identify the specific gap your organization fills and validate your mission with external evidence. Experiences: we build a Story Portfolio that honors the people you serve and invites donors to be investors in a solution. Alignment: we make sure your systems support your vision, so you focus resources only on your unique contribution. Reporting: we help you track what truly matters, using data to guide your decisions and show real impact, not just report activity.
