Frequently Asked Questions

I want to make the services as accessible as possible for varying budget sizes. The smaller the organization, the smaller the fee. The larger the organization, the larger the fee.

This is evaluated on a case by case basis but I can share some examples.

If an ED who’s looking for coaching only wants 5 hours of coaching because of an organization wide limit on professional development costs, I may waive the minimum to ensure you can get some support. That said, knowing that those 5 hours will only pay for 2-3 sessions with minimal prep, I will warn against the inability to complete thorough conversations since we’ll only be able to meet twice or three times.

Another example would be if an organization really only wants me to facilitate the strategic planning process, but they’ll take the material and create their own collateral behind it. In those circumstances, I may waive the minimum by 10-15 hours because I won’t have to design the content that the organization wants to put the material into. This will come with a cautionary tale of losing some quality however, because often times - as a visual person - our strategic planning process may be done in tandem with a visual representation that I’d ordinarily create or ask for some third-party support to create for us. So we’d lose that continuity having someone else visualize that collateral based on our material.

Bottom line, waiving minimums is done rarely, in select circumstances and I advise against it as much as possible. If we’re going to work on a project together, let’s do it holistically from the get go!

My services are tailored for nonprofit staff and leaders living in the State of Oregon.

All of my experience has been based in Oregon so I recommend Oregon. That said, learning new areas is possible so if you’re seeking services outside of Oregon, I may draw on your knowledge of the area much more than normal, but happy to talk about it!

I’m a fan of cartoons and I love people! Pair the two together, you get cartoon people on the website!

My experience with nonprofits is deep and vast stretching over at least 20 years in various capacities. I know nonprofits very well and as much as I’d like to advise on corporate affairs, I’m still learning in that area. That said, if you’re with a corporation that you’d like to explore how nonprofit concepts can help your particular situation, let’s talk about it!

I’m glad you asked! On the about page (click here) you can read more about my accomplishments and the types of organizations I’ve served in various capacities in. Of course, if you have more questions, feel free to reach out and let’s chat!
