Turn Beliefs into Action

Expanding opportunities for kids is why we do this work and it’s our honor to play a role in furthering the impact of our client partners:

This team has had tremendous impact on our organization. NCTR did a DEI project with them and it has transformed the ways in which we live out our goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion. They supported our staff in navigating some difficult topics, and did so with amazing grace and professionalism. They are brilliant and we would work with them again in a minute!

Elisa Villanueva Beard, Chief Executive Officer at Teach For America

The team supported us in building and executing a two-year strategic plan for improving practices that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Their work was of the highest caliber: the right balance of support and accountability, and great adaptability to our context. I give them my highest recommendation!

The 'Unrealized Impact' report is a seminal work in the field and a catalyst for accelerating commitment and action to make our sector more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. The report uses quantitative and qualitative data to provide a landscape analysis of where we currently stand as a sector and then provides insights to help organizations move forward. One of the most meaningful and important aspects of this research, is that it was not conducted in a vacuum, it was informed by the experiences of those in the field.

Be the Leader You Are Meant to Be

“Sometimes in your career, you find yourself in a place, or a role, or an organization in which, for whatever reason, you are not thriving. Admitting that you are struggling is difficult and it can raise existential questions: Am I good enough? What is my purpose? Did I make a bad choice? Monisha was a friend and adviser to me when I was in this vulnerable state and I was able to dig deep into these issues without judgment or fear and ultimately, transition to a role where I am happy and dare I say, thriving. And, Monisha also helped me recognize that these difficult moments in a career journey are not only normal, but essential, to grow into the leader you are meant to be.”

-Executive at an educational equity organization

“My coach was a guide...a support system and a trusted advisor. Her knowledge of the non-profit and education sector was invaluable, and her excellent instincts and thoughtful reflection provided an essential sounding board and invaluable insight to support me in making the right move regarding the next step in my career...There’s no one I’d rather call for professional guidance.”
