Strategic Planning

High-performing organizations thrive when their mission, vision, and core values are clearly defined and consistently lived out. Our consulting approach centers on adaptive strategic planning and practical change management that highlight the strengths of your organization and the people who make it work. We partner with leadership and key stakeholders to create a clear change agenda supported by measurable outcomes and key performance indicators that guide implementation and track progress over time.

We design and facilitate dynamic meetings, workshops, and training experiences that bring together diverse perspectives and ensure every voice has a meaningful role in shaping the path forward. Our process is grounded in participatory action research, a collaborative and evidence-based method that blends qualitative and quantitative data collection. This mixed-method approach ensures that every recommendation is co-created with the very stakeholders and audiences your organization serves—resulting in strategies that are relevant, actionable, and built for long-term success.

Appreciative Inquiry-Driven, Boutique Consulting Approach

I bring a boutique, high-touch consulting experience grounded in the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) positive change framework and a commitment to elevating stakeholder voice. My approach blends strategic planning, community engagement, and participatory action research to guide organizations and businesses through strengths-based transformation.

Strategic Planning & School Engagement Expertise

I co-led development of the 2023–2028 District Strategic Plan, designing and managing a districtwide engagement effort using the Appreciative Inquiry 5-D cycle. Key contributions included:

Designing and facilitating multilingual engagement meetings and producing clear outreach materials.
Co-developing surveys, conducting data analysis, and preparing visual summaries and Board presentations.
Coordinating and guiding a 25-member volunteer planning committee of caregivers, community partners, and district staff.

These activities generated community-informed recommendations that were formally adopted by the district.

Community Hub Development & Organizational Capacity Building

I supported a start-up community hub in creating its business and operations plan, assisting the new team with:

Clarifying operational structure and launching early programs and services.
Strengthening leadership, collaboration, and internal management practices.
Supporting outreach and engagement strategies to build visibility and trust.

Consulting Value Proposition

My consulting services are client-centered, strengths-based, and relationship-centered. Using Appreciative Inquiry and participatory research methods, I help districts and organizations design strategic plans, engagement processes, and operational systems that reflect community priorities and support sustainable long-term success.
