CLIENTS & Community Partners SHARE
some kind words
Darren Cotton
Executive Director,
The Tool Library
"Jeanette helped me harness the passion I have for the work we do into the systems, processes, and policies that will allow us to do that work better and more efficiently. She helped me completely re-imagine my approach to development work and recapture my love of storytelling. Above all else, Jeanette taught me how to lead with grace and lift up those around you. I feel so much more confident heading into the next chapter of The Tool Library's journey. Officially entering our #thrive era!"
Carolyn Barbara
Board President, RAHAMA
"Words cannot express how amazing Jeanette is, or how essential the impact she made on our organization over the course of a year was. She came on board as RAHAMA's consultant during an unsure, transitional time for the board and staff, and she guided us with grace, wisdom, and assurance. She helped establish a positive, productive, and healthy culture amongst the entire board and staff."
Gerldine Wilson
Community Activist
"Jeanette will make a positive impact on any organization or individual who is wise enough to engage her. She is committed to meeting the needs of everyone, in any community she works with. Her ability to organize and implement a project is absolutely phenomenal."

areas of expertise
improving these vital conditions
for health and well-being in communities
Safety & Support
Thriving communities are safe communities where people have their needs met. Whether you are a nonprofit working with families impacted by trauma, or a community member concerned about food insecurity, we can help you create better policies and practices to enhance community health.
LIFELONG LEARNING
NATURAL WORLD
Thriving communities continue to learn and grow. We offer expertise in community education, workforce development, and lifelong learning. We work in close collaboration with our clients to create custom training products that implement your theory of change, all the while respecting individual learning differences.
​Thriving communities deserve equal access to the natural world including clean air, land, and water. We have worked with small agencies to full communities on creating safer and healthier ways of living in the world together. Community conservation and land conservation should go hand-in-hand.
CIVIC BELONGING
Beloved communities welcome everyone to the table. We provide consulting to schools, businesses, and community organizations on how to create affirming, safe spaces for people who have been marginalized or victimized. Let's repair harm and restore justice together.
WORTHWHILE WORK
We can move from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy and change the way we engage in this new world of work. From coaching executives and teams in transition to board training to leading interactive sexual harassment training, we can uplift relationships at work.
