In Good Company
Independent perspective for people leading community-focused organizations.
You don't have to figure everything out on your own.
A trusted space to talk through challenges, test ideas, and make better-informed decisions with someone who understands the work.
What is In Good Company?
In Good Company is a recurring advisory service for leaders who want a trusted, independent thought partner.
Bring what’s on your mind — board relationships, organizational strategy, government and community dynamics, fundraising questions, staffing concerns, competing priorities, or a difficult decision you need to work through.
I’m not here to tell you how to run your organization. I’m here to ask good questions, share relevant experience, challenge assumptions, and help you find your own way forward.
Leadership gets complicated
Not everything belongs in the boardroom
Boards are essential, but they’re not always the place to work through uncertainty, test early thinking, or unpack sensitive leadership challenges.
You can’t bring it all to staff
Whether you're leading a team or wearing a few hats, you need space to think candidly, ask questions, and explore options without the expectations that come with being in charge.
Avoiding the echo chamber
When you’re close to the work, it’s easy to circle around the same assumptions. An outside perspective helps you challenge your thinking, sharpen your judgment, and move forward with more clarity.
Why work with me?
As a former district Executive Director and experienced arts administrator, I understand the complexity of leading community-focused organizations.
My experience includes:
board and governance dynamics
municipal and government relationships
community and stakeholder engagement
fundraising and revenue strategy
organizational growth and change
marketing, positioning, and strategic communications
This isn’t generic coaching. It’s practical conversation with someone who understands the work.

Not sure which is right for you?
Let's start with a conversation about your organization, your challenges, and how In Good Company might help.
Good conversations build on each other. All subscriptions begin with a three-month commitment, followed by flexible renewal.
The people everyone counts on need someone in their corner.
One of my favorite days as a Main Street Executive Director wasn't a big event or funding win.
I walked into a business owner's commissary kitchen and found her crying, waiting to be served with a lawsuit over a COVID-era loan she couldn't repay. I held her hand with her through it. That day, I was there to offer comfort. The next day, we could get to work.
Leading a community-focused organization is a privileged position. People trust you with their challenges, ambitions, and sometimes their most vulnerable moments.
But when you're the person everyone turns to, who do you turn to?
I've been in that chair. I know the value of having someone who understands the work, listens without an agenda, challenges your thinking, and helps you find a way forward.
That's why I created In Good Company.
Because even the best leaders need someone in their corner.
