Succession planning isn't just about replacing a departing executive director — it's about building leadership and talent continuity long before you need it. We help you put clear policies and a values-based plan in place for both planned and unplanned transitions, and we go deeper: shaping the culture and HR practices that attract, develop, and retain strong people. People are a nonprofit's most important resource and central to the mission.
What it helps you do
“Catherine's style is warm and centered on building trust and relationships, while staying focused on the ultimate goals. Our board was entering into planning for the succession of its founder and executive director. Catherine immediately honed in on the sensitive dynamics and gently but expertly guided each member of the team to confront the necessary considerations and reach our conclusions.”

Our approach to pricing
Engagements are scoped as flat project fees — never a percentage of your new leader's salary. Every plan is tailored to your organization's size, stage, and needs.
