Let's start a conversation
Send me a short note with a few key details, and I can usually let you know quickly whether we're a good fit.
What's helpful to include
With a little context, I can often tell you right away whether I'm the right fit, or whether another consultant might serve you even better.
- What you need. The scope of work, and where things stand today.
- What you're hoping for. What success looks like to you, and what you'd like to be different by the end.
- Your timeline. When you'd like to begin, and what's prompting the timing.
- Your budget. Whether this is a budgeted project or a budgeted role, since that helps shape which kind of agreement makes the most sense.
We can cover everything else together on a call.
Who's best to include on that first call
The person who can make the decision. That's usually a CEO or executive director, but it can be any leader who's been given authority to act on the organization's behalf.
If you're the CEO or executive director reaching out, this is often already within your board-approved budget, which helps keep the conversation simple.
Before you reach out
Here are a few areas I don't take on, so you're not left waiting on an answer.
- Workplace investigations. I'm not a private investigator, and I don't meet Oregon's requirements for third-party investigations.
- HR generalist duties such as payroll and benefits administration.
- Finance and CFO work.
- Marketing.
- Grant writing.
- Direct services to the people your organization serves.
If your need falls into one of these areas, please reach out anyway. I'd be glad to point you toward someone who can help.
