Helping others bloom where they are planted!
Welcome to Plant the Idea Consulting. Like plants, we help germinate good ideas, set roots in rich soil and focus on what makes you blossom so new seeds will grow.
We do this through organizational consulting and coaching, transformative environmental outreach and education design, grants strategy development and program design – using the latest tools and smartest strategies to build internal expertise rather than creating dependency on consultants or external tools.
Uncertain how to lead through this volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous future? Through consulting or coaching, we can help you identify operational misalignments, clarify strategy, build capacity, and navigate transitions with founders, funding and audiences.
Having trouble conflating output with outcome? We can help you apply evidence-based approaches that create transformation, not just transaction while building tools and training to ease adoption.
Wanting to expand the audiences you reach but unsure how? We can teach you cross-cultural pedagogical frameworks that bridge Western science with local and traditional ecological knowledge.
Having an inkling something is up? Got an annoying issue that people are always talking about? Unsure how to solve a dilemma? Need space to talk through what’s going on?
Call us and schedule a conversation. Let us help you get to the crux of the matter quickly. Unsure of the focus? Let’s talk.
After initial conversation, we’ll propose some solutions – from there, we’ll work toward a plan with pricing (if appropriate). Iterate as needed here and then, on to step four.
According to the plan we agreed on, let’s act together to solve the issue(s). Iterate along the way; plan for next steps if needed; assess efficacy.
About my process: it includes active, empathetic, and analytical listening; a deep dive into the work you do; and decades of working across cultures, disciplinary or demographic divides. After, I head to the woods for percolation – connecting, reflecting and finding new mental models and tools that work for you.
