We bring a mix of strategy, storytelling, and lived experience to help people and organizations do their best work—together. Whether you’re building leadership capacity, embedding equity into daily practice, or finding the right words to tell your story, we help you move with clarity, courage, and just enough joy to keep things human.

Think of us as your organizational hype team — part strategist, part coach, part truth-teller with a sense of humor.

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:

    Training & Development

    • Developing Leadership (turning Clark Kents into Super-Leaders)

    • Designing Training & Development that doesn’t collect digital dust

    • Performance Management Systems (fair, functional, not soul-crushing)

    • Clarifying Goals & Objectives so everyone’s on the same episode of the same show

    • Employee Evaluations that don’t make people cry (unless it’s happy tears)

    • Employee Observations that actually help

    Financial Management

    • Budget Development (no mystery numbers, no spreadsheet horror stories)

    • Obtaining 501(c)(3) Status (paperwork without the pain)

    • Creating Financial Statements that people actually understand

    • Company Setup and Non-Profit Management (foundations that last longer than a pilot season)

    Board Development

    • Board Recruitment & Orientation (the right people, the right expectations)

    • Board Operations that don’t feel like watching paint dry

    • Board Finances explained without jargon (yes, it’s possible)

    • Board Fundraising that doesn’t feel like pulling teeth

    Executive Leadership

    • Executive Director Evaluation (feedback that helps, not hinders)

    • Executive Director Searches (finding unicorns who can actually lead and last)

    Programming Rubrics

    • Designing practical rubrics so you can measure what matters — and skip the vanity metrics.

Let’s Work Together

Every organization has untapped strengths. Every leader has blind spots. Every movement has a story waiting to be told. We help uncover them — and make them matter.

Bring us in for the front-and-center work. Trust us with the behind-the-scenes work. Either way, we’ll show up with clarity, equity, and a sense of humor.
