FAQs

What is your consultation process for working with clients?

First, I provide a free consultation meeting with potential clients to determine whether there’s a good match in terms of our needs and interests. After this, I develop a contract and scope of work with the client. We establish a communication protocol and timeline that helps us do the work effectively, efficiently, and with quality. It is important that we develop a trusting and transparent professional relationship. While I have processes and frameworks that I use for strategic planning, program development, and organizational wellbeing, I do provide customized support for clients, usually co-designing activities to meet thier goals. I also respond to Request for Proposals (RFPs) that organizations release.

What is your pricing structure?

I offer a fair and competitive rate for my services and expertise. I typically offer a fixed project fee, but depending on the type, complexity, and length of the project, I can offer an hourly rate. I provide a discounted rate for grassroots nonprofit organizations who are just getting started, or have a low annual budget.

Do you work with international organizations?

Yes. While my work is primarily in the U.S., I am open to providing my services online, or traveling to other countries where my clients reside. My international experience includes implementing educator professional development for school systems, conducting workshops for NGOs, and facilitating conference sessions.
