Client Success Stories
Discover how businesses have achieved operational excellence with our strategic guidance.
You came at a critical moment in the evolution of our non-profit organization, Partridge Creek Compost. Our competent and dedicated team were burning out, we were two years out from any hope of being in the black, and the Federal Grants we were applying for had suddenly vaporized.
We had hoped to hire a Director, but the funding for that clearly did not exist. We hired you instead.
You gave us direction, operating procedures, policies, a compensation plan, a budget, and a future. You trained our business manager to be a director and handed him the reins as your 6 week contract ended. You were the catalyst we needed to take the next step.
Throughout her time with us, April played a pivotal role in streamlining our internal systems, formalizing key procedures, and crafting clear agreements that have already improved our day-to-day functioning. Her ability to balance structure with flexibility allowed us to evolve in step with our rapid programmatic growth and uncertain funding landscape.
Perhaps most importantly, April showed remarkable emotional intelligence in helping our staff navigate a tense internal challenge. Thanks to her skilled facilitation, what could have become a lasting fracture was instead transformed into a moment of growth. Everyone involved felt seen, respected, and empowered to move forward in alignment.
Before April came on board with us, work boundaries felt undefined and my workload felt unmanageable. Our communications as a team are lightyears more streamlined than they've ever been, and I feel really hopeful about the new systems we're using moving forward.
Thank you so much for all your work, care, organization, intention, and help - we truly wouldn't be doing what we're doing and growing so quickly as well without out.

April was amazing to work with. She helped me organize things in a way that would have taken me too long to do myself.
She is brilliant at getting organized and supporting her clients to create efficient systems. I cannot recommend her enough. She is definitely someone you want on your team. I am so grateful for the work we've done together.

April is extremely passionate and flexible. She digs in hard into projects, and she always keeps stakeholders informed. Her ability to keep a project moving and her awesome SKILLS in SFDC were great assets to our team.
Her organizational skills are second to none. Any company would be lucky to have her.
