My services.

  • Strategic Planning

    Strategic planning is an essential practice for any social purpose organization, whether you are a nonprofit, charity or grass-roots organization. A strong strategic plan will centre your mission, provide direction for your work and allow you to not only deepen, but also measure the impact of your efforts.

    My interactive and engaging strategic planning sessions fully immerse staff, board members and/or volunteers in the process. Participants will feel a sense of ownership resulting in greater long-term outcomes and achievement of objectives and goals.

    Strategic planning services are curated based on your organizations unique needs. Potential activities include:

    • Mission, Vision & Values Development or Revamp

    • SWOT Analysis

    • Setting Strategic direction, objectives & SMART goals

    • Stakeholder Engagement

    • Strategy Mapping

    • Impact & Outcome Evaluation

  • Design Thinking for Social Innovation

    “Design thinking allows high-impact solutions to social problems to bubble up from below rather than being imposed from the top.” (Stanford Social Innovation Review)

    Design Thinking is a human-centred, non-linear and iterative process that addresses complex social problems using a six stage process:

    • Empathize

    • Define

    • Ideate

    • Prototype

    • Test

    • Implement

    Design Thinking sessions are offered as mini or maxi workshops allowing you to dip your toes in or dive deeply into creative and innovation solutions to the problems your organization is trying to tackle.

  • Intentional Volunteer Engagement

    Volunteers are the pulse of any social purpose organization and when volunteer management is done right you will see your mission come to life!

    This session is intended to support organizations in applying best practices (and evolving trends!) in volunteer management including:

    • Designing volunteer positions

    • Recruitment & onboarding

    • Volunteer recognition & retention - i.e. deep engagement

    • “Off-boarding” volunteers

  • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

    Tokenism does not work - but equitable and inclusive practices can deepen your impact, expand your networks and move us all toward a more just society.

    • Inclusive Recruitment & Retention (Staff, Volunteers and/or Board Members)
