Lead From Where You Stand—With Strategy, Clarity, and Courage
A 6-month small-group coaching lab for public sector and nonprofit leaders ready to move from stuck
to strategic—and finally make progress that matters.
You’re leading in a system that wasn’t built for what your community needs.
Policies shift. Priorities clash.
And too often, you’re the only one in the room asking the deeper questions.
This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about finding a new way to move—strategically, boldly, from right where you are.
You don’t need another leadership training.
You need a space where you can think, be heard, and lead real change.
IN THIS LAB, YOU WILL:
Define a real milestone or initiative you’re ready to move forward
Get live coaching inside a trusted cohort of 6–8 experienced peers
Learn to use your role, responsibility, and authority for meaningful action
Work through real-time blocks with candid, experienced strategy support
Tap into 35+ years of grounded insight across sectors like early childhood, health, housing, and government
The impact you want is possible. But not without a shift.
