Inspiration and Tools for Nonprofit Leaders at All Levels
Let’s Change the World Together
Too much? Changing the world? Through leadership at our level? Are you kidding?
Leading nonprofit work is challenging. Between endless planning, constant change, and pressure to deliver more with less, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But your leadership matters more than you realize.
While others focus on nonprofit giants, I help leaders like you turn daily challenges into opportunities. Learn to plan effectively, adapt naturally, and lead sustainably.
Ready to make a bigger difference without burning out?
“Todd has the unique ability to cut through the noise, get to the heart of an issue and then convey that issue, and its solutions, clearly and sensitively to others.”

Forget managing change
Everyone's telling you to "manage the change process" - but when was the last time change followed a neat plan?

I'll help you build an organization that adapts naturally, turning change from a dreaded 'initiative' into a strength your team embraces.
