“As a nonprofit founder and leader, I learned firsthand the tension between wanting to dream and cast vision while at the same time needing to create healthy structure and systems that would position the organizational for capacity and growth. That’s why I formed Lean On Me – to support leaders in addressing this tension and see them empowered to achieve more as they are surrounded by professionals who have walked in their shoes.”

“As a non-profit founder and leader, I learned firsthand the tension between wanting to dream and cast vision while at the same time experiencing the intense struggle to develop and execute strategic planning. That’s why I formed Lean On Me – to come alongside leaders and see them empowered to achieve more because they were surrounded by professionals who have walked in their shoes and can help them do the work.”
