Build is an intensive coaching program for leaders currently seated in demanding, high-growth roles. This coaching program helps leaders grow from surviving success to thriving in your unique leadership gifts.
You are working towards a long term vision: growing your organization, launching a strategic plan, fundraising, or stepping up into a new level of leadership. Your work is thrilling, meaningful, and sometimes brutally hard.
Build gives you support to envision and grow into your ideal self as a leader, through the prisms of spirituality, justice, and your calling.
The program includes three 1:1 coaching sessions each month, a curriculum of exercises in between sessions, and observations.
In Build you will:
• Clarify your zone of genius and your strengths so you can align your scope with your calling.
• Recover yourself in your leadership. You’ll get real about who you want to grow into and the life you want to build. You’ll write a growth plan that harmonizes your professional and personal goals.
• Nurture your spirituality and establish grounding practices that increase your faith as a leader
• Sharpen the values and justice commitments that make your leadership distinct, and extend them across your life
• Explore your current blocks and challenges to gain a new sense of freedom. We’ll create space for reflection where you can raise your self-awareness and experiment with new mindsets and actions.

Is my organization a fit for Build?
I most frequently support EDs, founders, and senior leaders who are at a scaling nonprofits somewhere on the journey between $300K-$5MM in annual operating budget.
I’ve also supported leaders of philanthropic organizations, government departments, and occasionally folks working at for-profit or VC-backed firms doing work with a strong mission focus.
Because of my background in issue and electoral organizing, I have a particular sweet spot for supporting community organizing, democracy, and 501c3/c4 nonprofit work.
If Build could support your leadership and in turn, your organization, let’s meet:
