Strategic Planning: A good organizational strategy leads to greater impact by reducing costs, improving performance, pinpointing areas of risk and opportunity, and aligning the contributions of staff and supporters to collectively achieve a shared vision for the future. GCS specializes in helping leadership teams chart a clear and compelling roadmap for their organization by connecting big picture vision to practical, day-to-day implementation.

Workshop Facilitation: Achieving conservation and human wellbeing goals requires collaboration and buy-in from an engaged and motivated team. GCS provides a unique blend of facilitation skills to help teams identify shared values and to translate those values into collaborative opportunities that benefit both people and planet.

Conservation Coaching: Tackling the biodiversity crisis requires a solid plan of action that’s grounded in the best-available information, while also being flexible in response to ever-changing conditions.
