When leadership looks successful on the outside, but isn’t working on the inside
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 and former non-profit CEO.
We integrate ethics, strategy, and systems thinking to get you and your organization aligned and moving forward, based on your values, not in spite of them.

Go from Stalled to Strategic in 90 Days
When your leadership team can’t align, your business stalls. I help leaders go from stuck to strategic in 90 days.
Break through cultural and leadership stagnation.
Resolve misalignment between values and outcomes.
Make the hard, ethical decisions that will not only look and feel, but actually be, authentic and aligned.
My typical clients are CEOs launching, reinventing and leading client service, consulting, and education-related businesses, and aligning teams.
“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.”
What you are facing:
Urgent challenges
Leadership transitions
Board dysfunction
Ethical crisis (public or internal)
Culture misalignment, inertia and being stuck
It starts with leadership:
Level I - Launch: Alignment begins with authentic, determined leadership clarity— your vision, your values, your goals
Level II - Renewal: Organization-wide resets often include culture change and new disciplines, tools, products, and approaches
Level III - Reinvention: Custom engagement to reinvent the value proposition — technology enhancement, new audiences — a bigger impact
Why I recommend a leadership coaching journey as a first step.
A structured ethical leadership coaching and consulting experience for you (or members of your leadership team.)
Begin at Level I with the Leadership Sprint
Why an outside perspective is so important.

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.
