OUR PHILOSOPHY

Every leader deserves an opportunity to reflect, develop, and grow. We coach at the intersection of human connection and strategy, grounded in emotional intelligence—self-awareness and relational skills that honor the demands of leadership. Our work is action-oriented and intentionally tailored, supporting your ability to lead effectively. 

We are passionate about doing work we love alongside people we respect. We partner with movement, government, and non-profit leaders, not just executives, because leadership development is for everyone.

We work with:

  • Leaders at any level navigating growth, change, or challenge

  • Middle managers and earlier-career professionals building confidence and clarity

  • People leading mission-driven work and managing the emotional load that comes with it

  • Campaign professionals managing rapidly scaling teams and workstreams

More about us

  • What’s really valuable about you all is there's both the deep experience coaching and providing insight—leadership coaching is like work therapy—combined with the campaign strategy and the focus on what it takes to run a strong campaign… What you provide is so important and effective because it draws from both of those disciplines… you’re all about building a team that's built to win.

    —Eli Northrup, Candidate for NY State Assembly,Eli4NY

  • Stacy and Jenna helped our leadership team to individually and collectively identify actionable steps to improve our communication and work together. Their facilitation enabled us to gain insight into long-standing group dynamics so that we could build on areas of strength while shifting patterns that no longer served us. The combination of 1-on-1 and group coaching produced noticeable changes in a short period of time.

    —Lindsey Harr, Former ED of Office of School Wellness Programs, NYCDOE

  • I had been eager for an opportunity to take a step away from our day-to-day work to focus on HOW we do the work together. The team learned a lot about each other and about themselves! We frequently refer to the Prism (personality assessment) when interacting with folks across the team. Jenna and Stacy were phenomenal facilitators who helped create a space where the team felt comfortable sharing more of themselves than they may be accustomed to in a work setting. As the leader, I felt like they created the right opportunities for me to share my vision and hopes for our time together, but also allowed me to engage in the retreat as a participant and observer.
