CONSULTING FOR ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
Improve Dynamics, Culture, Function, And Impact
I help organizations peel back the layers of patterns that no longer serve. Acknowledging the past clears a path forward to include the whole team, co-discover strategy, and meet the mission together.
My consulting is grounded in substantial experience. Serving as a nonprofit executive for twenty-five years, I guided cohesive teams, facilitated multi-sector stakeholder groups, built movements from the grassroots to the federal level, spearheaded media campaigns, and passed legislation. I bring presence and rigor to help you shine.

Transforming Organizations from the Inside Out
​
In life, one of the only constants is change; and yet as human beings, change often evokes fear and resistance.
Where we focus and what we amplify frames a lot of the experience.
Organizational change can be an opportunity to develop a shared vision that holds all the people and elements in care while undertaking system change.
With decades of experience in organizational change management, Amelia and her team bring a systemic, heart-centered approach to lasting transformation.​​

Support for hiring and onboarding
-

All while acknowledging the times and dynamics we’re in, but building towards the times and dynamics we want.

Board Development & Mission Alignment
​
Organizations do not have a conscience, they have cultures. At the same time, organizations are guided by a Board of Directors made up of individuals each bringing their own conscience, experiences, skills, expectations, hopes, and blind spots.
Coming together as individuals via an election process, they must find enough alignment with each other, to align with the organizational mission.
Holding space for disparate views yet shared goals, Amelia and her team of consultants are highly effective in helping Boards understand their role, optimize their effectiveness, and innovate utilizing mental, emotional, and somatic intelligence.

Building Cultures of Inclusion, Belonging & Liberation
​
Institutions and organizations in the U.S. and around the world must become centers of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to foster true innovation and healthy workplace dynamics.
To truly transform the structure and culture of an organization, however, requires commitment to interventions at every level of the system.
Institutional equity work must simultaneously include and address intra-personal, interpersonal, organizational and system level conditions.
