Got wisdom and an objective data driven perspective?
I partner with leaders, independent builders and organizations to help you see what is not obvious and to help you say what needs to be spoken.
What I have learned:
Human challenges need human solutions.
People won’t see what they can’t see now without help.
The price of inaction compounds.
.
Values driven professionals are more likely to
experience:
Challenging organizational dynamics
Gaps between strategy and execution
Burnout
Values misalignment
Governance challenges
Why? Because you refuse to “go along to get along.”
Cindy Chance, PhD, Founder
I’m a philosopher/practical ethicist, founder, recovered professional association CEO, higher education leader, and educator. I bring clients decades of experience and wisdom. I do the work. This that allows me to connect with people to understand what is really happening.
What breaks people and organizations is not about workload, it is about values diconnection. This is industry agnostic, deeply human knowing.
To move forward, you need to start talking about what matters most. Can’t go around it, gotta go through it.
My “cut to the chase” honesty is grounded in analytical intutition honed over decades of leadership experience in multipleexecutive roles within mission driven organizations — including at Georgetown University and the Urban Land Institute.
There is no substitute for asking great questions of the people doing the work, listening, and connecting this to the data.
Waiting compounds costs. The point is getting at root causes quickly to turn things around for good.
Change course for good in fewer than 90 days.
