When leadership looks successful on the outside, but something is missing.

FosterChance works with CEOs, boards, and senior teams who are facing misalignment, inertia, or high stakes opportunities and decisions — to make decisions they can stand behind — to take action that will propel them forward. Founded by Cindy Chance, a PhD ethicist, educator, and experienced non-profit CEO.

I work with you and your team to identify and integrate your values into next steps — creating strategy and systems to keep you aligned and moving forward.

Stalled to Strategic

When you are stuck, when your leadership team can’t align, progress stalls.

I help talented, capable leaders go from stuck to strategic in 90 days.

Break through cultural drag

Resolve misalignment quickly.

Commit to the purpose driven ethical decisions that move people and organizations

My clients are CEOs, founders, and leaders in client service, consulting, and education-related businesses making a difference every day.

I’m able to share more about my clients, with respect for the trust and the confidentiality of their work with me.

I had a vision of where I needed to go, but I just wasn’t making progress. I’m capable, talented, and I’ve been successful doing things a certain way. I needed to learn how to do things differently. I needed a push, and concrete advice on next steps. Cindy was someone I could trust. She gave me what others could not. I see now, I didn’t believe I could change. I wasn’t thinking big enough.

Case Study (Excerpt)

One organizational assessment unlocked the transformational power of an online and on demand educational capability

In one year, I transformed an in-person educational operation that was barely breaking even into an online education enterprise netting 40% - and functioning as a growth engine for the whole organization. The new capability provided education for university partners, individuals, and groups with ten times more course diversity.

How was that accomplished? What were the benefits? And how could it be done now for less money and greater impact?

The organization had distinct unleveraged opportunities in the education space. Selected reasons:

  • The organization had unique access to thought leaders. People that no one else could access.

  • The new program reached two key segments, universities and early career professionals.

Selected Take Aways:

  • Consumer acceptance of creator-driven content has opened the door to experiments.

  • In a landscape where the lines between marketing, entertainment and education are more blurred than ever, expertise creates relationships and builds value.

Need to better understand how your organization is actually working?

When something is off, but you can’t tell exactly what, it is costing you every day. Understanding quickly pays off.

Begin your Level II journey

When organizations are stuck, misalignment between stated values and actual behavior is usually the culprit. I've developed a diagnostic assessment (the Ethical Capital Quotient) that identifies exactly where friction exists and what it's costing you.

I don’t just talk to people. I get at root causes.

People who don’t want change won’t like this. Those who do will be relieved and encouraged.
