About Me
I’m Mae.
I Help Leaders and Organizations Reach Excellence.
My story starts in community and is rooted in the experiences that make us human. The dreams, the faults, and the desire for excellence.
I decided to offer these services after reading countless grants that did not make it past the first round. All good ideas, but the buy-in just wasn’t there.
Every time, I thought: What would happen if this organization had anticipated the review committee’s concerns? What a difference that would make in their community…
The transformative power of words —  the thoughts, the stories, the raw emotions — those are the genuine
