Cheyenna brought stability, accountability, and balance to our organization. She facilitated the process needed to transition towards a fair and functional group, and was instrumental in helping us reach consensus and understanding when navigating decisions. She is a fantastic writer and strategist, and our communications and fundraising work is much more successful for her efforts.

Cheyenna brilliantly and compassionately shepherded us through a massive transition, one that could have been the sunsetting of our 45-year old organization. Her care and presence was tangible, and her spacious facilitation allowed our values to emerge and then guide the strategic planning and board development into our next chapter. She balanced this facilitated emergence with much-needed structure and technical skills from a wealth of knowledge and experience, and it was the embodiment of our values in these very concrete policies and practices that created the stable foundation for us to step forward with confidence. It was nothing short of magic, and I'm so grateful.

Cheyenna has not only helped my organization work better, she has also shared her immensely valuable skills, knowledge, and insights to help me develop my own leadership skills and capacities for the last 5 years. In the messy world of nonprofits, outreach, and member engagement, Cheyenna understands the perspectives, needs, and tensions from all sides. As my mother would say, she would still be a bargain at twice the price!

Cheyenna demonstrates a deep respect for and desire to truly understand the community she is working with and for - personally working with her, I felt as though she truly sought to understand how to engage most effectively with our constituency, while keeping a keen eye on the landscape of our work and how to be accountable to a larger movement. Coming into an organization as a consultant for something as nuanced as communications is no small task. Cheyenna did a masterful job of listening and assessing how we communicate about our work while also proactively offering ideas, solutions, and frameworks from her own expertise and vantage point. Her editing skills are sharp, she is always clear with her feedback, and she asks bigger-picture strategy questions while also paying attention to commas, word choice, and visual layout.

Cheyenna has been supportive, compassionate, and insightful throughout her time working with us. We were impressed by the way she came into our organization and learned about our communities and the issues we face. Since then, she’s been instrumental to skilling up our team, organizing our roles and programs, and providing the necessary structure to guide our work. We are in a much better place than we were before, in large part due to her efforts
