Stories shape culture

Listening shapes leadership

Our work begins where stories are told, whispered, or left unsaid

Our Services

  • A winding road through a rocky desert landscape with reddish-brown cliffs and mountains, under a cloudy sky at sunset.

    Governance Advisory

    We advise boards seeking to elevate their governance performance through evidence-based evaluations, composition diagnostics, and strategic development planning. Our approach integrates ethnographic research, stakeholder interviews, and governance benchmarking to enhance oversight, foresight, and long-term strategic alignment.

  • A bird flying near a rocky mountain cliff with snow-capped peaks in the background and clouds surrounding the mountains.

    Leadership Inquiry in Governance

    We engage CEOs, executive directors, and board chairs in leadership inquiry at the intersection of governance and culture. Through confidential dialogue, observation, and qualitative analysis, we explore how leadership behaviors and board dynamics shape decision-making, alignment, and organizational performance.

    Education & Capacity Building

    We build the governance and leadership capacity of nonprofit boards and executives through experiential workshops, retreats, and learning programs. Rooted in inquiry and reflection, our sessions foster collaboration, clarity, and courage — equipping leaders to align decisions with mission and impact.
