Align With Your Why

A Strategic Planning Process That Gets to the Heart of Your Organization’s True Purpose

We Dig Deep Beneath the Surface

Your organization’s strategic plan should never be a dust collector. But, let’s face it, that’s what happens to many plans because they are complex, nebulous, and ineffective.

Here’s the thing - the fate of your strategic plan is determined long before it’s even written.

You see, it all begins with the process. When the process doesn’t go deep, the strategic plan lands flat.

It’s not enough to just go through the motions or use a cookie-cutter approach that's surface-level.

That’s why we created Align With Your Why.

Our expansive and transformative process gets at the heart of your organization’s reason for being. From there, we create a strategic plan that aligns your work with your why.

Our Signature Process

01. Get Clear On Your Why

We start with a mining expedition to unearth your why (aka purpose or mission).

Working closely with your team, we dig deep to understand your organization’s history, strengths, and unique challenges.

Next, we carefully craft a customized facilitation process designed to get to your ‘gold’. Creating a safe space where everyone - leadership, staff, volunteers, and other stakeholders - is fully engaged is essential.

A cookie-cutter approach just won’t take us where we need to go together - deep beneath the surface!

When your people feel like they belong and their voice matters, they’ll bring their full energy to the vision and buy into the strategic plan.

02. Align Your Work With Your Why

Once your ‘raison d’etre’ has been unearthed, we build a customized strategic plan.

Every element of your strategic plan is carefully designed to ensure your work is always aligned with your why.

The resulting strategic plan is realistic, easy to use, and includes practical metrics to measure progress towards your goals.

Most importantly, it makes it easy for you to say ‘no’ to anything that doesn’t align with your purpose.

03. Stay on Track, Make an Impact

Now that you have clarity on your why and a user-friendly strategic plan that aligns your organization’s work with your purpose, it’s going to be smooth sailing from hereon out right?

Well, yes and no. You’ve got the tools and insights you need in hand, but sometimes the waters can get a bit choppy at times.

That’s why our strategic planning support doesn’t end when we deliver your strategic plan.

We stay by your side as you navigate through those rough waters by providing one-on-one coaching. With this extra support during the implementation stage, you’ll stay on track and move boldly towards making a massive impact.

  • “Nathalie’s experience in community development is incredibly valuable. Whether we’re talking about supports we need in the community or how to engage with folks, she can draw from her diverse experience. Her excellent understanding of the Francophone community is also very valuable when engaging with government, funding partners, and other stakeholders. She is perfectly bilingual and understands the unique needs of the Francophone community.”

    Elise Arsenault, PEI French Health Network

  • “Having a session with Nathalie brought our team closer and allowed us to establish a concrete action plan which we are now putting into action together as a team. She goes above and beyond to understand our needs and deliver the best possible outcome. ”

  • “Nathalie was just so easy to work with. She got everything done on time or earlier and really understood our mission. She delivered exactly what we wanted. She was a great facilitator of discussions and teased out answers very effectively.”

    Brynn Devine, Blooming House Women’s Shelter

  • “Nathalie is approachable and professional. She listens intently and doesn’t just assume things or present things without properly listening.”

Additional Services

  • Facilitation

    Group facilitation is an art and a science that requires a thoughtful, customized approach. It’s not enough to just bring people together in the same room and ask a few questions.

    The purposes of our facilitation services are to consult your stakeholders, engage your team and/or bring clarity to a problem and find solutions, together. There is power in the group and it is surprising what can come out of a group meeting when we ask the right questions, in the right setting.

    Contact us to find out if our facilitation services can help you bring clarity and focus to your organization.

  • Coaching

    Whether you have gone through the strategic planning process or not, our implementation coaching can help you find alignment with your values, mission and vision.

    We believe that alignment is an everyday process, not a one-time event. Implementation and alignment coaching helps you stay accountable to your mission, values and goals while letting go of limiting beliefs that may also be holding you back.

    Contact us and we can discuss if alignment coaching is the right fit for you.
