Leadership Coaching
Cultivating liberated leadership for a collective future.
Leadership coaching deepens self-awareness and fosters transformational change rooted in equity and care. We partner with leaders at all levels to dismantle internal biases, build authentic confidence, and strengthen the capacity to lead with purpose - always in service of your organization’s mission and the communities you serve.
Our coaching practices offers a dual-lens approach: combining strategic organizational mastery with chaplaincy-led emotional support. Together, Rachel Branaman and Saadia Ahmed provide a container for leaders to dismantle oppressive systems while tending to the soul of their work.
Personalized Executive Coaching: Lead with Purpose to Sustain Your Mission
Our coaching practice is designed for nonprofit leaders who refuse to choose between organizational excellence and their core values. We provide the strategic partnership needed to move from reactive management to visionary leadership through:
-
Values-Aligned Leadership: Moving beyond standard management to lead with intention and restorative principles that prevent burnout.
-
Justice-Centered Strategy: Practical frameworks for decolonizing fundraising narratives and shifting operational power.
-
Equity in Storytelling: Centering cultural responsiveness in grantmaking and community engagement to honor the people you serve.
-
Systemic Analysis: Identifying and addressing structural inequities and power imbalances within your organization and the broader sector.
-
Change Management: Leading organizational transitions with intention, transparency, courage, and a lens of radical care.
Resilience Circles: A Chaplain-Led Space
The Resilience Circles are a facilitated sanctuary for deep reflection, emotional processing, and collective restoration. Led by Saadia Ahmed, these small groups gather to move beyond troubleshooting and into the spiritual and emotional heart of our work.
What Is a Chaplain
A chaplain is a spiritual professional with unique skillsets connected to spiritual and emotional care. Chaplains practice reflective listening, hold and tell stories, provide emotional support, offer spiritual care, and share resources.
What We Hold Together
Each session explores the intersections of fundraising, community care, and organizational justice, focusing on the impact of navigating these systems. We gather to explore:
-
Healing from Scarcity: Moving toward a mindset of sustainable abundance.
-
Processing Trauma: Addressing the secondary trauma inherent in grassroots organizing and social justice work.
-
Spiritual Alignment: Aligning your daily grind with your deepest spiritual and ethical convictions.

Standard Rate: $75/month (Covers the cost of professional chaplaincy and materials).
