Outside of Work
I spend time birdwatching in Costa Rica, surfing the Pacific, or working on my vocal range in singing lessons. These passions keep me grounded and curious.

*** OPPORTUNITY ALERT ***

Introducing PIVOT FOR IMPACT from the Endless Foundation and TechChange --> a new FREE accelerator program for social impact leaders who know their organizations are in some kind of pivot moment and want real support navigating it.

The program is designed to help teams rethink their business models, clarify their value proposition, and build the skills (sales and otherwise) needed to move toward more resilient and diversified paths forward.

What you’ll work on:

--> Redefine or update your business model in ways that fit today’s funding reality
 --> Sharpen your value proposition so partners actually understand what you offer
 --> Build practical sales skills to grow revenue beyond traditional grants
 --> Develop a more adaptive mindset around partnerships, pricing, and sustainability
 --> Create a clear, realistic path forward that aligns with your mission and capacity

Learn more and register: pivot.course.tc 

Nick’s Take: Very excited about this one. With so much turmoil in the sector this year with the global aid freeze, we’ve been in close touch with our partners at the Endless Foundation and felt strongly that this was the right moment to launch something substantial.  The goal is to bring fresh, creative, and practical ideas to organizations trying to pivot, while also honoring how hard this work actually is.

Community matters here. New skills matter. New networks and access to more diverse funding options matter. And this accelerator is meant to bring all of that together.

You’ll notice the structure: an open six-week portion where as many orgs as possible can join, learn, and experiment. And then a deeper, more applied phase you can apply for orgs who want want hands-on coaching, deeper guidance, more skills training, and exposure to new funders and clients. We want this to be both accessible and genuinely useful.

Would love to have some of you join us on this journey... and would appreciate you spreading the word to anyone who might benefit.

Program kicks off in Jan. 

Sharing is CARING. Tag someone who might be ready .

Do you have someone in your world who could use a little extra job-seeking support as we head into the holiday season?

This time of year can feel rough. Budgets freeze. Hiring slows. People start questioning their next steps, their confidence, their direction. sometimes one conversation with the right person can shift things.

That’s why we set up Impact Coach (impactcoach dot com).

And this year we're making it easy to gift someone a coaching session that meets them exactly where they are.
 
Could be:
 ✔ Interview prep
 ✔ Resume + CV support
 ✔ LinkedIn strategy
 ✔ Building routines + accountability
 ✔ Or just getting unstuck long enough to feel momentum again

We’ve got 50+ incredible coaches working across global development, philanthropy, climate, tech-for-good, and more. Whether you want to help a friend, a colleague, or a team member… there’s someone in the collective who will be a great fit.

Packages start at $199, and you can gift a single session or a small bundle. 

Seen a lot of folks this year go from “I have no idea what’s next” to landing a role that feels aligned and meaningful… so yes, I’m pretty convinced this stuff works.

If you’re curious whether for someone else or for yourself take a look at the coaches and packages here:

 👉 impactcoach dot com (or DM me  or Caroline Ouwerkerk) and we’ll point you in the right direction)

Let’s make sure people aren’t going into the new year feeling alone.

Opportunity Alert: Relationship Building Session!!!

Trying something fun next month with my friend Caroline Ouwerkerk... a little spin on her signature Happy Hour(kerk) series, but this time we’re bringing it inside Kolab.

If you’ve never been to one of Caroline’s facilitated networking sessions, they’re honestly super fun.  No panel fatigue, no “go around and introduce yourself” chaos. Just intentional connection with people doing meaningful work.

And because we’re hosting it on Kolab, we get to play around with some of the stuff we built this year — games, movement on the canvas, spatial audio, small-group flows that feel way closer to IRL than anything you’ve used online.

Event details are in the graphic below, but here’s the quick version:

Monday, Dec 15
Noon ET / 9 AM PT
Free + open to all

If you’ve been curious about Kolab or just want to meet other folks building cool things in the social impact space… grab a spot while there’s room.
Would love to see some friendly faces.

 Sharing is CARING.
