Deep Dive: Our Consulting Services
(What We Do & How We Do It)
We believe that strategy and systems should move in harmony. That’s the foundation of our consulting practice:
- Mission-Driven Strategic Planning
We help you translate your mission into clear, actionable plans. Through inclusive facilitation, data insights, and aligned outcomes, we build more than documents. We build direction. - Sustainability Planning
Long-term impact requires resilience. We embed long-term thinking into strategy from the start by designing systems that adapt when conditions change. - Gap Analysis & Needs Assessment
Using stakeholder interviews, surveys, and systems mapping, we help identify what’s holding you back and where you should invest your energy. - Meeting Facilitation & Retreat Design
Retreats and strategy sessions shouldn’t be exhausting — they should be generative. We design structured, trust-building gatherings that center real voices and generate actionable outcomes. - Executive Coaching
Leading change is personal. We offer one-on-one coaching to help leaders navigate complexity, make bold decisions, and stay grounded. - Recruitment & Talent Alignment
Your team is your greatest asset. We help you hire with intention by matching values, skills, and mission while providing support so new hires embed well.
When you work with coLAB, you’re not just buying a plan. You’re investing in infrastructure, confidence in decision-making, clarity in direction, and accountability built over time.

Join a Circle, Not a Classroom
Peer Learning Circles: Deep Practice, Less Isolation
We often hear that leaders want a space to compare notes, experiment, and iterate — not more content, but more connection.
Our Peer Learning Circles are built for that:
- Small cohorts (6–8 leaders) working semi-structured alongside a facilitator
- Monthly virtual 75-minute sessions
- Themes may include: Strategy in Action, Data & Learning, Governance in Practice, & Adaptive Leadership
- Curated tools, peer accountability, and reflection assignments
Email us to be notified when our next cohort opens.
