Consulting

We collaborate with mission-driven founders and directors on storytelling projects that reflect the heart, history, and impact of their programs. We also support community organizations funded by AHW grants (see below).

Our consulting engagements are tailored to your needs and may include:

  • Writing Retreats: Host a retreat to create space for writing down stories, aligning messaging, and building community. We can collaboratively design retreats to meet your team’s goals and facilitate it in English or Spanish.

  • Custom Writing Projects: Get support with creating impactful documents for your program by incorporating stakeholder data, quotes, and stories into compelling narratives and messaging.

  • Storybank Development: Document your program’s story and build sustainable systems to gather, organize, and share impactful stories from stakeholders or community members for grant proposals, publications, and campaigns.

    We are currently booking for projects for spring 2026. Set up discovery call to learn more.

We also support community organization projects as a technical assistance provider (TAP) with the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin (AHW) Endowment.

AHW-funded projects are eligible for up to 20 hours of TAP services each project year at no additional cost to the project budget.

We offer assistance for qualitative research, strategic planning, academic-community partnerships, collaborative writing, retreats, and more. If you are a community organization with an AHW grant and are interested in working with us, reach out or email your project’s grant management contact.

Testimonials

  • “We were so fortunate to work with Rachel to develop some personal stories from our supporters and patients to be shared at our annual development events. Some of our storytellers were sharing personal stories and were quite nervous to speak in front of large audiences, but Rachel did such a great job preparing them and helping them feel confident and supported. She took the time leading up to the event to help our storytellers polish up their stories in a way that felt authentic to their voice but still concise and appropriate for our event. She was so wonderful to work with and took such great care to help us meet our mission and vision.”

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Rachel on a storytelling project for a major event, alongside three other participants. Rachel was exceptional throughout the entire process. Her coaching was thoughtful, insightful, and empowering. She helped us refine and edit our stories with great care, always ensuring that we stayed true to ourselves while shaping our narratives to meet the goals of the event. She was incredibly supportive and thorough, creating a safe and comfortable space for us to share and grow. Rachel has a clear vision and an incredible ability to help you bring your story to life while remaining authentic.”

  • “We had a great experience working with Rachel. She was hired to document the history of our organization. In a compassionate and dedicated way, she collected a lot of meaningful information that was beautifully compiled into our history document. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure we had all the important voices at the table. She was respectful and professional. Her abilities of speaking Spanish and being a good listener were crucial for the completion of the project since the majority of the interviewed stakeholders would not be able to express themselves fully if the interviews were not conducted in Spanish.”
