Who We Are
We’re a consulting firm leveraging over 60 years of joint experience in non-profit management, educational consulting, project management, international law, policy analysis and change management to help our clients develop, assess, manage or restructure socially responsible businesses, nonprofits and community initiatives. We focus on transition management for individuals and corporations, as well as those seeking to reevaluate and enhance their contribution to self and society.
We're more than a consulting firm that touts industry experience. We’re a dynamic duo. Together, we think creatively and strategically. We aren’t afraid to wander miles outside of the box, but also recognize the importance of drawing in the lines. We utilize innovative, proven tactics customized to each individual client and their unique circumstances to bring about lasting change. We are often our clients’ missing link …the essential outside vantage point or brains needed to propel themselves forward.
Our Managing Partners
We work with a talented network of professionals globally. If we can’t help, we collaborate with those leaders to ensure you benefit from an all-rounded robust experience.
Sara Speer Selber
Sara Speer Selber has more than 35 years of experience managing people and organizations for excellence and success. Her career with for-profit and non-profit entities has been characterized by entrepreneurial innovation and has been recognized repeatedly by professional and community groups for her business achievements and many contributions to the welfare of others.
An accomplished networker, Sara combines her considerable communication skills with an extensive resource of business and community leaders to bring people together to address mutual needs and shared opportunities. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, for example, Sara was able to marshal ad hoc groups of Houston citizens that reached across racial, cultural and geographic boundaries to respond to those in need. She has also been described as a “Visionary who is always on the go and never stops learning so as to share her world with those who wish to think or act differently.” In fact, the mother of two Gen Y’ers, Sara much to the dismay of her peers, was one of the 'early adopters of social media.'
