Strategy
Build a future you're genuinely excited about with a clear path from today's challenges to tomorrow's impact.
You have big goals and a committed team, but something isn't clicking—decisions take too long, priorities keep shifting, and your people are burning out trying to do everything at once.
Many leaders I work with feel caught between the pressure to show impact and the reality of vague direction.
The good news is that this is solvable.
Whether you need to chart your organization’s future or diagnose a persistent challenge that’s holding you back, together we can build the clarity and alignment your team needs to move forward with confidence and energy.

Transform uncertainty into a clear path forward—so you can lead with confidence and make decisions that move your organization forward.
When you know something needs to change but can't quite pinpoint what or how, you need more than advice—you need clarity. In this 6 - 8 week process, you’ll move from knowing something is wrong to understanding exactly what needs to shift and how to make it happen.
You will:
Get a data-based, grounded understanding of what's really happening in your organization
Uncover root causes behind persistent challenges like disengaged boards, staff turnover, or stalled initiatives
Surface honest insights and generate buy-in from key stakeholders
Receive a specific roadmap with clear recommendations based on your unique reality
Present your findings with confidence to your board, funders, and staff with professional documentation and support
Maybe you're facing a challenge that just won't go away. Or your board isn't engaged the way you need them to be. Maybe staff keep leaving. Or your recruitment efforts aren't gaining traction. You've tried addressing it, but the same issues keep surfacing because you never have enough breathing room to get to the root causes.
The leaders I work with often know something is off but feel stuck between acknowledging the problem and knowing how to solve it.
How it works:
We’ll co-develop an exploration process tailored to your specific challenge
We’ll look beneath the surface by interviewing stakeholders, surveying leadership, analyzing patterns to understand what's really happening
We create clarity by defining the problem, articulating what success looks like, and identifying concrete solutions that fit your organization's reality
You’ll receive a roadmap with specific next-step recommendations and support in presenting findings to your board, funders, or staff
Leading a Jewish nonprofit requires more than good intentions—it demands clarity, alignment, and the ability to navigate complexity while keeping your team energized and focused.
How do I know this? Because I've sat in your chair. As a former, post-founder CEO for 12+ years, I've experienced the pressures of balancing board expectations, staff needs, fundraising demands, and strategic vision—all while trying to ensure the day-to-day runs smoothly.
My extensive experience in organizational development, training in Creative Problem Solving (CPS), and deep understanding of the Jewish communal landscape allow me to bring both the outside perspective you need and the insider knowledge of what it really takes to lead.
You'll be working with a partner who not only gets the unique challenges you face but has successfully navigated them—and helped dozens of organizations do the same.
