I am passionate about helping non-profits increase their operational capacity by aligning their roles, systems, and processes. I help them simplify how they deliver their work, and I help them craft strategic narratives that resonate with beneficiaries, staff and donors. I thrive in situations where we need to analyse large amounts of information, and ideate on new ways for us to approach our work. My pattern recognition skills have been essential for stewarding change, as they enable me to bridge & reconcile perspectives across teams.
Services:
- Formalization of processes, policies, & protocols for improved operational efficiency
- Centralization of stories, research, & data for simplified reporting & creative development
- Copywriting for advocacy campaigns, fundraising appeals & stewardship touchpoints
- Coaching for leaders who may be siloed momentarily or facing transitionary periods
Nonprofits I’ve worked with:
- Local: Museums, Palliative Care Centres, Hospital Foundations, Community Groups, & Autism Service Providers
- National: Mental Health, Physical Health, Youth-Centred, & Queer Education organizations
- International: Animal Welfare, Environmental Justice, Humanitarian Aid, & International Development organizations
Clients I work best with:
- Tenacious advocates challenging problematic narratives
- Passionate teams combatting operational burnout
- Evolving teams formalizing complex processes
- Siloed leaders navigating change management
“Working with Empowering Empathy has been an absolute privilege. Chris is very knowledgeable, and they can break down information in a way that allows everyone to understand and contribute to the project. Chris is a great listener and spending time working on this project with them has been an incredible experience for our team here at ARC Foundation!”
