Envision Collaborative Community

Partnering with you to inspire a vision that helps communities thrive

Who We Are

Claybrooks Co. is a consulting firm dedicated to guiding our clients in envisioning or redefining their purpose, projects, or programs for maximum impact within marginalized communities. With a primary focus on community-facing non-profits and socially focused small businesses, we recognize their essential role in driving positive change and building thriving communities.

Visionary in Chief

Welcome to my journey, where every step is a testament to the belief that service is at the core of meaningful impact. Rooted in a deep passion for people, profound empathy, and a clear sense of purpose, my professional path has been guided by the understanding that every action has a ripple effect. This awareness allows me to navigate the complexities of community needs while actively addressing the challenges of compassion fatigue.

In my pursuit, I aim to cultivate and reimagine a focused vision, magnifying the impact on communities through intentional collaboration. This, in turn, contributes to the sustainability and holistic care of organizations and communities alike. My experience spans diverse communities, embracing a multitude of cultures and lived experiences. Over the years, I've had the privilege to collaborate with a wide array of stakeholders, from community members and local governments to non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and businesses.

I am the embodiment of big dreams and community collaboration. Raised with the belief that I am destined to be a world changer, I champion work that builds strong communities, firmly convinced that our destiny is only limited by the boundaries we create in our minds. Despite a history of community service sometimes at the expense of personal well-being, I've discovered my purpose: supporting leaders in building more impactful community solutions. This involves empowering them to partner with local leaders while still making room to live full lives.

My mission is to empower impactful organizations, particularly those benefiting marginalized communities, with a clear vision and strategy to create sustainable change. I believe in the transformative power of collective action, understanding that the strength of many can truly change the trajectory of generations. Join me on this journey where service, collaboration, and purpose converge to make a lasting difference in the communities we serve.

Our Approach

At Claybrooks Co., our methodology is rooted in the T.H.R.I.V.E. community framework, a comprehensive approach aimed at ensuring the success of our clients and their community-centric initiatives. T.H.R.I.V.E. stands for "Transformative, Healthy, Revolutionary, Innovative, Virtuous, and Engaged." This framework is the foundation of our consulting process, guiding our clients toward impactful and enduring outcomes.

Through the T.H.R.I.V.E. community framework, we pose specific and targeted questions to our clients to ensure their endeavors are rooted in these principles. This approach leads to successful, impactful, and sustainable outcomes, with a deep understanding that thriving communities are built on strategic planning, innovation, inclusivity, and a commitment to making a positive difference.

We are dedicated to serving a diverse range of organizations and individuals committed to fostering positive change in their communities. Our primary audience includes, but is not limited to:

Community-Facing Non-profits:

We work closely with nonprofit organizations that are actively engaged in community development and social impact initiatives. Whether their focus is education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, or other critical areas, we assist them in achieving their mission while maximizing their community impact.

Socially-Focused Small Businesses

Small businesses, with 25 employees or less, that are driven by a desire to create a positive impact on their local communities are an essential part of our clientele. We provide guidance and strategies to align their business goals with community well-being, helping them thrive while contributing to the greater good.

“ We were able to clearly define business activities from ministry activities so that I know how to allocate my time. I was spending a lot of time on ministry activities and then aggravated that I wasn’t making more money. Now I know how to better spend my time to open up more financial opportunities. ”
