We Connect
Find the right partners when you need them.
Sometimes figuring out "how" requires specialized knowledge. Our collective brings together humans with experience AND a “get it done” mentality. When your challenge needs more than what's in our Library, we'll connect you with a brilliant partner to move your work forward.

Nancy Fournier Ph.D.
People come to me for: Women come to me to help them master their nonprofit leadership role, they are curious to discern their thought and behavior patterns which get in the way of their success. They want to improve their relationship with their boss (whether that is an individual or a board or directors) and empower their staff to be reliable decision-makers. Lastly they want more strategies to get out of a reactive loop and gain healthy work/life balance.
Dianna Tremblay
My favorite kind of project is: People come to me for gaining clarity, connecting dots and conversations, and being a creative problem solver that gets things done. I also see myself as a professional pep talk giver - we need more of those in our lives.
Shannon Riordan
My favorite kind of project is: the kind where we’re building something from scratch—and you can feel the lightbulb "aha" moments. People come to me for clarity, words that are actually useful, and stories that resonate. They trust my experience, appreciate my positivity, and like that I don’t take myself too seriously—I genuinely enjoy what I do, and it shows.
Claire Bernson
My favorite kind of project is one where you can come to me for branding and design that actually makes sense for who you are and what you're trying to do. Whether you're starting a new project, re-branding an old one, or just need someone to help your "thing" look as good as it deserves to, I'm good at translating "I know what I want but I can't quite explain it" into something visual!
Nina Jacinto
My favorite kind of project is one where you get to design processes or improvements that will benefit your staff. Getting to think through "What are we trying to solve for" and finding the right type of architecture and implementation to strengthen your people operations makes me practically giddy.
Rachel Kleban
My favorite kind of project is… Building Leveling Frameworks, of course! I love the work of collecting information and then synthesizing it into a tool that works for the team and culture.
Sebastian Johnson
My favorite kind of project is… Working with philanthropists to develop strategy and deepen connections
Sophia Zisook
My favorite kind of project is… Taking an informal, messy idea or process and operationalizing it - in a way that makes a better experience org wide - and saves folks time and headaches.
