You didn't accidentally
build this culture.
You just weren't paying
attention.

WHAT WE DO
The work is structural.
So is the solution.
Three ways to work together - each grounded in the Climate
Framework and built for the nonprofit and human services world
You did not accidentally build this culture. But without the right diagnosis, you cannot fix it intentionally. I work with nonprofit and human services organizations to assess organizational climate, identify the structural problems driving turnover, and build the systems that make it possible for good people to stay. This is not a workshop. This is a whole-organization intervention — grounded in the Climate Framework and built around what your people are actually experiencing.
Your managers are not failing because they lack motivation. Most of them were promoted because they were good at the work — not because anyone taught them how to lead people through it. I deliver training designed specifically for nonprofit and human services teams, covering organizational culture, management fundamentals, and the climate conditions that either hold people or lose them. Built for the sector. Grounded in the framework. No generic content.
Leadership at this level is not a solo endeavor — but it can feel like one. I offer one-on-one coaching for nonprofit and human services executives who need a thought partner who has actually sat in their seat. Not just as a leader, but as a patient, a frontline worker, a program manager, and a CEO. That vantage point changes the conversation. If you are navigating a hard organizational moment and need someone who can see it from every angle — this is the work.

"Most workforce problems aren't people
problems. They're structural ones. The
Climate Framework helps leaders see the
difference - and build organizations that
actually hold people."

ABOUT LEAH
I have been every person
in the room.
It is a daily challenge to show up as the leader that my team needs me to be. I say that not as a disclaimer — I say it because it is the most honest thing I know about leadership, and honesty is the only place I know how to start.
I have occupied almost every seat there is in the nonprofit and human services system. That is not a career history. That is a map of the same system seen from every angle — including the angles that most leaders never get close enough to see.
What I know from all of those seats is this: most organizations are not losing good people because they hired wrong. They are losing good people because they built — without realizing it — a climate that makes it impossible to stay. I built the Climate Framework to help leaders see that clearly, and change it before it costs them another good person.
I hold a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from USC and a PHRca certification. I completed my first book — The Interventionist Leader — on organizational transformation through the lens of lived experience.

The problem has a name.
And there is a way
through it.
If you are a nonprofit or human services leader who is tired of losing good people to a problem you cannot quite name — you are in the right place. Start with a conversation.
