Helping teams and leaders grow stronger, more fair, and more connected.

Clarity for leaders. Alignment for teams. Accountability for organizations.

David helps leaders and groups uncover their natural strengths, navigate conflict, and design practical strategies that actually stick. No three-ring binders that collect dust, no “retreats” that feel like trust falls in disguise. Using personal mapping and two decades of nonprofit leadership, he creates spaces where people see not only their own gifts - but how to combine them like the Avengers assembling.

We can help with:

• Team retreats and workshops (minus the awkward icebreakers)

• Leadership coaching that feels like therapy with action steps

• Strategic planning and facilitation (goodbye endless Post-It notes, hello clarity)

• Strengths-based assessments and team maps

• Accountability Audits: A clear-eyed review of boards, finances, culture, and strategy - surfacing blind spots, aligning practice with mission, and preventing “that’s not my job” syndrome

Embedding equity into everyday work.

Equity isn’t a side hustle - it’s how we lead, decide, and relate. Together, we help organizations move past statements and slogans into structures that actually make fairness real. We use anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-ableist frameworks with a balance of accountability and compassion - think less “DEI checklist” and more “building cultures that Beyoncé would approve of.”

We can help with:

• Deconstructing Oppression Workshops: Hands-on, interactive sessions where staff learn to name, analyze, and interrupt patterns of oppression in real time (with humor, not shame)

• DEIB strategy and implementation (equity in action, not just PowerPoints)

• Policy and culture alignment (your handbook doesn’t have to be a doorstop)

• Trainings that connect history, systems, and lived experience - because context matters

Narratives that move people.

Shaina is a natural storyteller who brings humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom to every space she enters. She’s been compared to Tina Fey, Michelle Obama, and Betty White (and honestly, we’ll take it). She draws on her roots as a Louisiana Creole, lifelong bookworm, and disability advocate to reframe struggle into strength - and sometimes into laughter. Together, we craft narratives that shift perspectives and spark action.

We can help with:

• Disability and health equity talks (real talk, real impact)

• Advocacy training for patients and caregivers (tools for the fight, minus the jargon)

• Narrative strategy for movements and campaigns (your story, but make it powerful)

• Keynote speaking and workshops (inspiring without being boring)

Because the behind-the-scenes work is where the magic really happens.

Let’s be real: you can have the boldest mission statement in the galaxy, but if your budget is a mess, your board is confused, and no one knows how to evaluate the Executive Director… well, cue the dramatic soap-opera music.

The structural stuff isn’t flashy, but it’s the backbone that makes your programs sparkle. We help organizations tackle the unsexy but essential with joy, clarity, and just enough flair to keep it interesting. (Think Olivia Pope meets The Office, with a dash of Parks & Rec.)

We can help with:
