Strategic Thought Partnership for Collective Transformation
For leaders integrating personal leadership and systemic change
Through strategic advising, leadership coaching, partnership development, and narrative strategy I help you move bold ideas into action—advancing equity, community transformation, and systems change.
No pressure. Just a thoughtful conversation about your goals.
Who I Am
I’m Jenn Schindel, PhD—a strategic advisor, ecosystem builder, narrative communications consultant, and leadership coach committed to advancing equity, social impact, and community transformation.
With over 20 years of experience across health, education, and social impact sectors, I partner with social enterprises, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, philanthropy, and movement collectives to build: strategic initiatives; narrative strategy, communications platforms; strategic partnerships, and funder engagement.
My work integrates academic expertise in linguistic anthropology, cognitive science, and education with 20 years of cross-sector work in applied research, strategic initiatives, narrative communications, and strategic business development.
My systems-thinking and commitment to local impact helps leaders and organizations clarify purpose, build trust, and translate complex goals into actionable strategies for collective impact. Learn more about me here.
Let’s see if we’re aligned before we talk scope or timelines.
