Hi, I’m Megan.
I help mission-driven leaders scale their impact through training, coaching, and hands-on support.
How I Like To Work
-
Lean Impact Training and Coaching
Looking for a team mindset shift or a more structured way to innovate? Through Spring Impact, I help mission-driven leaders clarify and de-risk their strategy for scale. Usually we do a few workshops followed by in-depth coaching to test and co-create solutions with our priority communities.
Typical topics include setting a shared goal, prototyping MVPs, testing with users, and responding to data.
-
Fractional Staffing
Need help executing on a specific project or product? I help nonprofits and mission-driven start-ups launch new programs and get complex initiatives over the finish line. We usually work together for 3-12 months at 25-50% of my time.
Sample Projects: Total Spark (Empower Work), Benefits for the Future (Commonwealth), Caregiver Training (Givers Health)
-
Financial Modeling or Analytics
Stuck in your head thinking about different scenarios? Let’s create a financial model that reflects your assumptions and unknowns so we can surface the most important conversations and turn your ideas into reality.

What Others Say
-
With Megan's help, ICA Fund was able to finally name critical assumptions and test ideas that had been tossed around for years. I was most impressed by Megan's facilitation and frameworks that moved our team forward cohesively. I would work with Megan again any time.

Megan blew our team away. She has a unique ability to listen in to the heart of a pain point or opportunity, reflect back a perspective on it that shines a new light, and partner to explore ways to address it. Our team's skills in testing towards critical elements that will support the scale of our work grew tremendously thanks to her coaching. I'd highly recommend working with Megan or bringing her on your team if you're looking for a strategic, analytic, and highly empathetic and connective partner to move big goals forward.

Megan exceeded my expectations at every turn. She seamlessly partnered with my team at just the right time to align our initiatives and ensure communication. Attending meetings was a joy, as Megan has advanced skills in facilitating conversations. She listens well, allows space to problem-solve, and naturally moves teams into the next steps. She possesses that rare gift of big-picture strategy combined with the ability to specifically identify implementation steps – and she can carry them through completion.

Working with Megan is such a rare gift. The groups that work with her are left in a much better place due to her expertise, creativity, and focus on delivering the highest quality trainings and support.

Megan is the glue that keeps my teams communicating, problem-solving, and executing together. She is my favorite Friday afternoon strategyzer who can take my big ideas and turn them into a pitch deck or an initiative.
