Over the last several days, I’ve been blown away by the encouragement, messages, referrals, and “you’ve got this” energy surrounding the launch of Undercurrent Strategies, LLC. Launching a business after a decade plus in municipal leadership was both exhilarating and a little terrifying (full transparency: the day of the launch, I felt so overwhelmed in both good and challenging ways, that I went to bed at 7:00 pm that night!). Genuinely, your support has meant more than you know.
Now that the launch dust has settled, I want to share what comes next as I move from launch mode into building something meaningful, intentional, and rooted in the type of leadership work I care about most.
First, thank you. Truly.
I strongly believe that leadership and gratitude work together. No one builds anything meaningful alone, and this business is no exception. It's been a labor of love over the last month.
From the friends who listened to me stress-ramble about branding and website decisions, to my mentors who coached me through the “Should I really do this?” moments, to my family who simply said, “Of course you should,” thank you. You have all played a part in getting Undercurrent Strategies off the ground.
So... what is next?
Now begins the real work: building credibility, demonstrating impact, and helping organizations strengthen their leadership, alignment, and internal clarity.
As part of this next phase, I am excited to introduce the first signature offering through Undercurrent Strategies.
Introducing The Alignment Tide
The Alignment Tide is focused consulting designed for leaders and teams who want to move from scattered to aligned and from overwhelmed to clear and connected.
This offering helps organizations:
Identify where misalignment is slowing the team down
Clarify roles, expectations, and communication
Strengthen leadership culture
Bring structure to operational chaos
Build a practical path forward with a 3-5 year roadmap that supports long-term success
Every project is fully customized. No templates and no one-size-fits-all approaches. You receive deep, personalized support grounded in 15 years of municipal leadership experience and a human-centered approach that puts people, culture, and clarity at the center.
I am also fully insured, which means you can feel confident and protected throughout our partnership.
A Special Opportunity for Early Partners
To celebrate the launch of Undercurrent Strategies, I am opening several introductory-rate spots for organizations that want to be early partners in The Alignment Tide.
These early adopter projects will receive the same level of care and customization as a full project. The introductory rate simply reflects the intentionality of this phase as I build out processes, gather feedback, and create testimonials that will shape the future of this work.
If your organization is ready for alignment, clarity, and leadership that truly supports your people, this may be the perfect time to partner.
With the Alignment Tide, you will walk away with a solid 3-5 year strategic work plan. Projects committed to in December 2025 and January 2026 will receive the discounted, introductory pricing.
We will work together this winter and spring to get you a solid plan of focused priorities in place ahead of 2027 budget development!
Why this matters to me
My entire career has been built around high-performing teams, operational clarity, strategic leadership, and human connection. I believe deeply that strong leadership creates strong communities, and I want to help organizations experience that shift in a way that is practical, achievable, and energizing.
The Alignment Tide represents the heart of what I love to do. It is where strategy meets people, where clarity meets culture, and where leadership truly gains momentum.
Let’s Work Together if the Timing Feels Right
If you are reading this and thinking, “Our team needs this,” or “We could use clarity and direction,” or even, “I want to learn more about The Alignment Tide,” please don't hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect and explore what working together could look like. Here are a few ways to get started:

Together, we will build the clarity, alignment, and leadership your organization deserves.
Thank you again for being part of this new beginning. Your support has already shaped the undercurrent more than you know.
