Influence Advisory
Let’s get you unstuck.
One-on-one strategic guidance for sustainability and impact professionals navigating executive buy-in, resistant stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
Book a session and walk away with an action plan to move your work forward.
Two Ways to Work Together
90 Mins · ONE ACTION PLANInfluence Strategy
Your strategy got approved. So why aren’t things moving?
Because approval isn’t commitment. Because you’re navigating stakeholders without sustainability KPIs, who all respond to different incentives — and nobody trained you how to influence without authority.
In this strategy session, we’ll diagnose what’s blocking you, apply the right framework, and build your influence action plan. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to do next.

30 Mins · QUICK GUIDANCEOffice Hours
You don’t need a full strategy session. You need a gut-check.
Should you approach the CFO or the COO first? Is this framing too strong — or not strong enough? Am I reading this situation right, or am I overthinking it?
Bring your question to Office Hours and get direct guidance from someone who’s been in your shoes and has the perspective and expertise to help you navigate these dynamics.
