FAQs
Why do I need a team or leadership consultant?
Engaging a leadership or team consultant brings an external, specialized perspective to the table. A consultant offers a fresh set of eyes and expertise in areas like team dynamics, leadership effectiveness, and program design. Together we’ll analyze your team or leadership challenges, refine objectives, and decide on tailored strategies. Ultimately, a consultant helps implement solutions aimed at achieving tangible outcomes while nurturing an environment where teams and leaders thrive.
How do we work together?
Our collaboration begins with a comprehensive discussion to outline your objectives, what’s working, and what’s currently challenging. Through this initial assessment, we evaluate your needs and set a clear roadmap for our collaboration. Through this tailored approach, we might implement employee assessments, 1:1 sessions, or team workshops, depending on your specific needs. This collaborative process ensures a personalized strategy aligned with your goals.
Who delivers the workshop?
The short answer is, whatever you need. I offer flexibility in either delivering/facilitating or coaching you to deliver the program. This choice ensures workshops are tailored to both your organizational context and team dynamics while aligning with the overarching objectives, promoting effective learning and growth.

Allison
Assistant General Manager, Material
“Abigail is so gifted at her craft. She cut through the noise to bring clarity to the root of any issues or challenges my team was going through, all while maintaining the finest balance of being clear and direct, but with so much empathy and compassion. She helped my team through countless challenges and made my job feel much easier. And even better, I learned through each experience how to be a better manager, team leader, and human!”
Mike, Director of the Center for Student Leadership, UC Irvine
“Abigail asks thoughtful and challenging (in the best way) questions, and offers practical, actionable advice. She sees the big picture and takes the time to really understand others and connect with them where they are, guiding organizations toward success in an incredibly organic and respectful way. She elevates the work of others and enhances their feelings of belonging.”
Kim
VP General Manager, LRW
“Abigail was a true partner to me and my team with respect to employee well-being and career development. She expertly facilitated engaging sessions on team dynamics, introducing tools that improved our team communications and promoted a more collaborative environment. She supported me through the management challenges of coaching underperformers, and helped me to consider various approaches that would best fit with the employee’s style. She helped me to increase my awareness of my own leadership style, allowing me to improve my ability to adapt to meet the needs of my team.”

Head of Creator Team, Patreon
“I hired Abigail to facilitate a session for my team offsite, just after we had been through a massive reorg and were bringing multiple people from different teams together for the first time. There was a lot of cultural upheaval, and I wanted to increase empathy and understanding across teammates. Abigail was able to develop a beautiful and meaningful shared Values session that accomplished all of that and more. The exercise was mentioned by several members of my team as being a highlight of our offsite. We also put our values at the top of our team meeting agenda and referenced back to them multiple times throughout the months that followed. I would hire Abigail again in an instant to facilitate more team sessions as well as on-going developmental work.”
