Work With The Wind Down - The Wind Down

Get hands-on support to explore, design, and deliver great endings!

Project and organizational sunsets often happen in a hasty and disorganized way that causes stress, strife, and lots of loose ends.

Organizations come to me to raise closure-awareness, build resilience, hold space for critical discernment, and explore ways to honor their civic organization or project’s legacy as they scatter seeds for the future.

Scroll on to learn how you can work with The Wind Down to meet your group’s needs at any stage of your lifecycle. .

Fostering closure awareness and lifting the fog of fear and shame for changemakers around the world.

Here are some ways I can support you and your group:

Closure Calls

I offer a “hotline” for organizations that are thinking about or in the process of closing. You can sign up for a call here.

This is for teams and individuals in discernment about closing

Closure Consultation

We will work together over an agreed-upon period of sessions to define priorities, determine a timeline, communicate critical decisions, and end in a way that everyone can be proud of.

I hold a space for you/your team to discuss, define, refine, and wrap-up operations.

This is for teams that have already decided to close or been informed they must close.

Closure Workshop Facilitation

A one-time workshop to help you think through various facets of your group’s lifespan and craft a shared narrative.

This is for teams that have already decided to close or been informed they must close, but are short on funding and/or time.

Speaking Engagement

I can speak at your conference or gathering about the history and importance of conscious closures in civic society, and help you think about steps attendees might consider to ensure a lasting legacy for your work and mission.

This is for teams, funders, and capacity builders that are not planning to close, but would like to explore the topic and strengthen their own legacy/succession planning and organizational resilience.

Other Ideas?

This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you have other ideas about how we might work together, do reach out. I have written and been interviewed by many media outlets and I am always keen to do more writing, consulting, advising and supporting.
