The Capacity Collective

Leadership development programs focus on the C-suite, leaving rank-and-file leaders behind.

We’re changing that.

A few months ago, a CEO told us:

“My people are exhausted. The stress is breaking them. We’re losing touch with who we are. And the only support out there goes to senior leadership. But it’s our middle managers and frontline staff who are hurting the most.”

She’s not alone. In today’s climate—post-pandemic, post-inauguration, pre-who-knows-what—social impact organizations are on the frontlines of collective fear, fatigue, and moral complexity.

At every level, staff are:

• Overwhelmed by unrealistic demands

• Disconnected from one another

• Unsure if their daily work is still making a difference

• Experiencing moral injury from having to act against their values to meet metrics or expectations

It’s not just stress. It’s existential erosion.

When people no longer know why they’re showing up—or whether it even matters—crisis takes root in the very culture of an organization.

This is what permacrisis looks like at the organizational level.

And it demands a whole-person, whole-organization revolution.

The Offering: The Capacity Collective

The Capacity Collective is a multi-layered intervention designed to strengthen teams and reconnect them to their purpose from the inside out.

We focus on the four vital dimensions of sustainable impact work:

People: How do we honor the dignity, stories, and needs of those we serve—and those we work beside?

Place: How do we care for the ecosystems—physical, cultural, and emotional—that make our work possible?

Productivity: How do we define productivity in ways that are sustainable, ethical, and aligned with our mission?

Purpose: How do we stay rooted in why we do this work—even when everything else is falling apart?

Together, these four dimensions offer a framework for deep reflection, renewed alignment, and courageous change.

The Format

Step 1: The Seminar (45 minutes, virtual or in person)

A high-level, high-impact workshop for your full staff team introducing the framework and opening space for honest reflection.

“What’s keeping us from thriving? What would it look like to start again, with intention?”

Step 2: The Organizational Learning Path

A structured process to move from reflection to transformation—tailored to your team’s size and needs.
