I (Barbara) bring over 30 years of experience in the nonprofit sector—as a leader, fundraiser, researcher, funder, and strategic communications expert. With this wealth of experience, I understand exactly what it takes to drive meaningful change at the highest levels. But here’s the thing—it’s not about me. It’s entirely about YOU.

The Secret Key to the Impact You Want – Finding Your Most Compelling Message.
Every organization is communicating, all the time—whether we realize it or not. When your message is clear, aligned, and true, you unlock your mission, your momentum, and your full potential.
What We Do
We help nonprofit leaders, public sector changemakers, and social impact entrepreneurs unlock clarity, connection, and momentum through a strategic tune-up that aligns your vision, voice, and value.
We start with communications because it’s at the heart of everything—and through this lens, you can elevate every aspect of your organization. We work with you to shape and sharpen your message so it resonates with your audience, attracts funding, and drives meaningful change.
The Strategic Impact Arc
1. Ground Sensing
We begin with a narrative scan and landscape mapping. We examine what’s already out there—your website, reports, social media, and staff bios—to uncover coherence, gaps, and untapped power.
What does the outside world see—and what’s missing from the story?
2. Strength-First Framing
We don’t start with problems—we focus on what’s already working. By identifying a key strength (a person, phrase, story, or success), we unlock greater strategic clarity.
Great messaging doesn’t feel like starting from scratch. You’re closer than you think.
3. Multi-Lens Strategy
Once we identify the right message, we test it through four strategic lenses:
- Audience and Funders: Will this resonate with your key audience to attract the right financial support
- Narrative: Will this shift public perception or reshape dominant stories?
- Policy: Can this message drive the change you seek?
- Impact: Are you grounded in measurable results?
This isn’t surface-level work. When your story is clear and aligned, every part of your organization works in harmony, driving real, lasting results.
4. Tailored Tools That Energize, Not Overload
Different leaders need different tools. Some require a board-ready deck, others need messaging frameworks or internal strategies. We deliver customized tools based on your bandwidth, style, and organizational context.
This is deep strategic alignment—done in a way that feels energizing, not exhausting.
