Thorny Development Issues in Your Community
Had initiatives for projects that your community has thought about or a concept you’d like to make real? Or maybe there’s some hurdle that needs to be figured out to move forward. I can work with you to turn that plan or committee minutes into action and then help you achieve it. Let’s work together to make your dream a reality for your community.
Organizational Strategy and Operations
Someone who will be there with you each step of the way as you take your organization to the next level, providing guidance and perspective. Yes, strategic planning is a good and necessary step, and making that plan flow into annual and even week-to-week prioritization can be an even greater value add.
Executive Coaching and Leadership Development
Lessons from organizational psychology and management show the leadership team’s execution makes the difference among many good ideas. With experience as an executive of a multi-state housing and development organization, I’ll be a partner who can listen, challenge your thinking, help you clearly communicate your story, and execute on your goals.
Land Use, Policy, and Advocacy
Bringing an advocacy and regulatory perspective, with a familiarity with land use, for when those issues come up.
Energy+Housing
Maybe you’re trying to figure out the new Inflation Reduction Act so your workforce housing saves residents the most money, adds the most value, and makes your community most welcoming.
Gather People around Amenities
Your community wants to show all you have to offer to potential new companies, visitors, and residents? Count on an unbiased but enthusiastic perspective to advise on communicating your story.
In addition to the services listed, example tangible products include:
Communications and issue education toolkit for stakeholders & funders
Playbook for converting plans into successful implementation

What would it be like for us to work together?
We start with an intro call to learn about each other, and it could be video, or phone if you’d like to take a walk outside while we talk. I ask questions, you tell me what’s on the ground. We arrive at the heart of your true needs and I propose a piece of work that brings value and makes your life easier. I become your partner in reaching your outcome.
