True Doing offers leadership coaching and organizational advising for those in mission-driven systems who want to lead and live without losing themselves.

True Doing works with leaders and their organizations to identify and shift the biological and behavioral patterns that emerge under sustained pressure—helping them operate with clarity and efficacy even when external conditions remain difficult.

1. Individual Leadership Coaching


One-on-one coaching for leaders navigating sustained pressure. We work together to:

-Identify what's draining your capacity beyond just "workload"
-Recognize stress responses that harm
-Reduce internal and relational strain
-Support clearer, steadier decision-making, from the inside out, under real constraints.

2. Organizational Alignment Advising


Shift what keeps an organization and its mission from thriving.


This helps organizations identify:

-Behavioral patterns blocking team efficacy
-Communication dynamics creating friction
-Systems triggering chronic stress, burnout, and low morale in staff
-Leadership patterns that undermine mission

-Grantmaking that harms grantee partners,

--Ineffective systems and processes.

3. Philanthropic Advising

Strategic giving support for individual donors and families navigating questions of values, alignment, and positive change.

I work with donors on:

-Help you ensure your wealth is used to make life better

-Strategic clarity when giving options feel overwhelming

-Family philanthropy coordination across different generations and values

-Ensuring giving is trust-based, equitable and in alignment with values

-Connections to effective, community-led organizations.

True Doing navigates complexity when there are no simple answers.

My approach is informed by:

-25+ years working alongside donors, foundations, and community partners

-Deep networks across climate, human rights, social justice, and conservation sectors

-Understanding how stress and overwhelm affect philanthropic decision-making.
