It's All About Successful Leadership

Sustaining the Mission

  • Successful Board Growth

    In an environment of shrinking resources, making sure that your organization continues to thrive is of paramount importance.

    Mitigating risk, ensuring financial stability, forming strategic partnerships, maintaining quality standards, effective execution of strategies, and remaining nimble enough to respond to emerging conditions are all needed to make sure you remain strong.

    Are you concerned about the sustainability of your organization in an uncertain future?

    I can provide the consulting support you need to grow and sustain your mission.

Planning Your Preferred Future

  • Truly Successful Leadership

    You have a great mission and you are doing a lot of good in the world, but it is difficult for you to see what your organization is going to look like in the future. Is the mission going to change? Who will lead it? Who will support it? In short, it lacks a vision and the plans to achieve that preferred future.

    Perhaps you have been drifting a bit off your desired path, struggling with something personal? Now is the time to get the professional support you need to be a truly amazing leader.

    I can provide the consulting you need to develop a vision for the future.

What Clients said

  • “After a bit of apprehension, The Board of Directors and I embarked on a rewrite of our strategic plan.  John was an invaluable asset in helping the organization to focus on meaningful and deliberate areas relevant to the organization.  John used his years of experience in multiple settings on a technical and emotional level.  The end result was a succinct plan, not overburdened with tactics, fluid enough to provide core direction, without ignoring the changing dynamics of our field. “
