Feeling overwhelmed by change?

Your strategic plan wasn’t built for this level of complexity,
but there is a way forward.

I put together a free guide featuring one of the most useful tools I know: The Ecocycle – a strategy tool built for complex systems.

  • Get clarity fast.

  • Make aligned decisions.

  • Stop doing it all alone.

    “The one day Strategic Planning Retreat was fantastic. I am ecstatic with how well it went!”

  • Kari Jorgensen Diener, Executive Director, Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative

    “The virtual workshop sessions were engaging and interactive. The content we covered helped me refine my thinking about systems change during a transitional time for my sector, and equipped me with a wide range of tools that I am already incorporating into my work and conversations with colleagues.”

  • Current Client, Gender and International Development Sector

    “Rachel stepped into our project at a moment’s notice and helped us understand both the stated and unstated needs of our community and how our workshop could be used to meet them. She proposed frameworks that allowed us to see the ecosystem in which we were working and how potential actions might be interconnected. Rachel was also a confident and skilled facilitator, who made space for personal and group discovery and creativity. We highly recommend her and her work!”
