Whether supporting our clients through difficult times, advocating for marginalized communities, or simply lending a listening ear, we believe compassion is the cornerstone of meaningful impact.

OUR PEOPLE
You make the world better — we help you do more of that.
Cassie R. Blausey, J.D.
I have committed my work and heart to building better and stronger communities and organizations.
An attorney by trade and teacher at heart, I have worked across lines of difference at the state and local levels to create and refine policy and practice to meet the needs of a diversifying world while making it accessible to all. I have led complex policy change in politically challenging environments, working to engage decision-makers and community stakeholders like students, parents, and community leaders.
My background is in education policy, but as education has evolved to become the epicenter of community growth and change, I have taken on policy and strategy in multiple areas. I am hyper-focused on the secret sauce of creating organizational systems that are effective and efficient and lead with belonging and building strong communities as a core value.
Stephen W. Lin, PH.D.
My doctoral training in research methods, program evaluation, and social change allows me to bring theory and practice to the work you do best: human-centric work.
I am a research, strategy, and program evaluation expert: a practitioner, an educator, and a translator of data. For over fifteen years, I have never forgotten the most essential part of the story–the people involved. I have led teams that drive organizational change, defined and measured organizational impact, and built frameworks of success for executives.
Planning for organizational success can be daunting, but I am here to help ease that discomfort with deliberate, honest guidance. If you're telling your impact story through data and analysis, I remove barriers to complex statistics so that you can translate your information into actionable insights within reach.
