Helping mission-driven teams reconnect to their purpose, people, and power through story
When I started LF Voices Collective, it wasn’t just about launching a platform or offering a menu of services. It was about building something deeper—a space rooted in the belief that stories can bridge divides, that connection is the foundation of change, and that when organizations truly align with the people they serve, something powerful happens.
Strategic consulting became part of that vision because I’ve seen firsthand how hard it can be for mission-driven teams—especially in news, nonprofits, and cultural institutions—to slow down, ask the right questions, and make meaningful change.
Now, as LFVC grows, I’m focused on building a full storytelling collective and platform that brings together narrative strategy, publishing, design, and experience in ways that help organizations deepen their impact and stay rooted in their values.
But consulting still matters—because some of the most transformational work starts in quiet conversations behind the scenes.
Why This Work Matters Now
We’re in a moment of redefinition. People are craving authenticity. They want stories that reflect their lives, organizations that feel human, and leadership that’s thoughtful, not performative.
The pressure to produce, prove value, and move fast can feel relentless. But the most impactful organizations aren’t the ones chasing metrics—they’re the ones who pause to ask:
- Who are we really serving?
- What do they need from us now?
- How do we show up for them in a way that’s human, relevant, and rooted?
That’s where strategic consulting comes in—not as a quick fix, but as a catalyst for clarity, alignment, and connection.
What Makes LFVC’s Approach Different
This isn’t cookie-cutter consulting. When we work together, you’re getting someone who’s been where you are. I know what it feels like to carry a mission and hit resistance. I’ve built cross-functional teams in complex environments. I’ve pushed for innovation in spaces that weren’t always ready for it. And I’ve helped organizations rediscover their purpose—and reconnect with the people they’re here to serve.
Here’s what I bring to this work:
- Clarity: I cut through the noise to help you focus on what truly matters.
- Care: I meet teams where they are—with curiosity, empathy, and intention.
- Creativity: I help you build strategies and storytelling systems that feel alive and sustainable—not mechanical.
Who This Is For
I work with people and organizations who are:
- In transition and need a thought partner to help clarify what’s next
- Launching new storytelling initiatives and want to root them in mission and audience
- Looking to strengthen internal alignment and build systems that reflect their values
- Ready to rethink engagement and reimagine how they connect with their community
I prioritize collaborations that align with LFVC’s mission and can feed into our broader storytelling ecosystem—whether through content partnerships, shared projects, or community-centered strategies.
What You Can Expect
Every engagement is tailored, but here’s what it often includes:
- Listening and Assessment: A thoughtful deep-dive into where you are, what’s working, and what’s getting in the way
- Strategy Development: A collaborative roadmap that connects your mission, audience, and goals in ways that feel actionable and grounded
- Implementation Support: Guidance, accountability, and systems to help you carry the work forward—with or without me at the table long-term
This Is About Building What Matters
My goal isn’t to give you a new playbook—it’s to help you write your own. To build strategies that last. To tell stories that connect. And to create the conditions for growth that’s sustainable, not performative.
We’re not just shaping messaging—we’re shaping relationships.
If you’re in a moment of reflection or redirection and you need a trusted partner to help you move with clarity and confidence, I’d love to talk.
