Client Narratives

William Woodson, Founder
CONVERSATIONS ACROSS THE AISLE
CHALLENGE— As Conversations Across The Aisle moves into its fourth year of existence, it has been a constant struggle to balance our aggressive growth goals with the demands of program delivery, operations, financial management, marketing, and development.
PATH— YNH’s support and expertise has helped us to better understand the mindset of the charitable organizations that power our work, allowing us to make smart decisions about which funding opportunities to pursue, as well as helping us build more effective funding pitches, faster.

Monique Riviere, Executive Director
CHALLENGE— After a leadership transition, Community Mediation DC was at a critical inflection point where we needed to transition to a structured, sustainable roadmap for the future. We were grappling with how to effectively scale our conflict resolution services in the community, schools, and at DC Jail while addressing staff capacity and navigating funding uncertainty from traditional sources.
PATH— Through our highly collaborative work with YNH, CMDC successfully harmonized the voices of our board, staff, and community to finalize clear strategic priorities for 2026: enhancing volunteer engagement, stabilizing our funding through diverse streams, and strengthening our operational systems. We now have a concrete action roadmap with measurable success factors that ensure everyone in DC continues to have access to high-quality, collaborative mediation.

—Helping leaders see, sow, and harvest abundant futures.
Harvest Model
The HARVEST MODEL can help you see daylight. We use it with our clients -- the nature-created, universally-observed, time-tested process of growing anything from seed (idea) to achieve a harvest (goal), and our role as agents (leaders) in the process. Regardless of what is happening in the world or in your sphere, the HARVEST MODEL remains a trusted roadmap.
Let your brain work for you
While leaders are leading their organizations, how do they power up?
Neuroscience in coaching has come a long way in helping us better understand how our predictive brain keeps us from making change, and alternatively, can help us make change happen. Executive coaching forms the partnership that helps leaders move into the future and focus on what’s important.
