Transcending Strategies LLC partners with organizations, communities, and institutions through four interconnected pillars of practice. Each pillar reflects how change actually happens—through relationship, structure, leadership, and care—rather than through isolated services.

Clients may engage through one pillar or across multiple pillars, depending on their goals, context, and readiness.

Pillar 1: Systems & Infrastructure

Designing Structures That Can Hold Vision and Care

This pillar focuses on the structural backbone of organizations and initiatives. We work with you to ensure that your values, mission, and vision are supported by governance, operations, and systems that are functional, ethical, and sustainable.

How we work together in this pillar:

• Organizational design and administrative alignment

• Governance structures and board support

• Internal systems and operations review

• Indigenous-led health systems design

• Birth center, clinic, and workforce planning

• Technical assistance for growing or transitioning organizations

Best for organizations that are:

• Scaling or restructuring

• Experiencing operational strain or burnout

• Aligning mission with governance and systems

• Building or redesigning care models

Pillar 2: Strategy, Policy & Narrative

Shaping the Conditions That Influence Systems

This pillar addresses the external environment shaping your work—policy, funding, public narratives, and systems of power. We help translate lived experience into strategy, advocacy, and policy that creates real structural change.

How we work together in this pillar:

• Indigenous health and maternal health policy strategy

• Legislative and regulatory advising

• Human rights–based frameworks

• Global and cross-community strategy

• Writing, publishing, and thought leadership

• Narrative strategy rooted in community knowledge

Best for organizations that are:

• Engaging in policy or advocacy work

• Seeking to influence systems beyond their organization

• Navigating funder, government, or global spaces

• Working to align narrative with lived reality

Pillar 3: Leadership, Learning & Capacity Building

Strengthening the Human Systems That Carry the Work

Sustainable change requires leadership that can hold complexity, power, and care at the same time. This pillar focuses on people—leaders, boards, staff, and communities—and how they are supported to do long-term work without harm or depletion.

How we work together in this pillar:

• Executive and relational leadership coaching

• Board training and governance development

• Power, accountability, and sustainability alignment

• Curriculum design and workforce development

• Masterclasses and learning series

• ECHO model design and facilitation

Best for organizations that are:

• Supporting emerging executive or movement leaders

• Strengthening board governance

• Developing workforce or training programs

• Navigating leadership transitions or growth

Pillar 4: Convening & Regeneration

Creating Space for Alignment, Renewal, and Emergence

This pillar centers integration and regeneration. We convene leaders and teams in spaces designed for clarity, healing, and strategic alignment—so transformation is sustainable rather than extractive.

How we work together in this pillar:

• Leadership retreats

• Strategy and visioning intensives

• Healing-informed leadership spaces

• Alignment convenings for teams, boards, or coalitions

Best for organizations that are:

• Experiencing burnout or fragmentation

• Entering a new phase of work

• Needing space for collective clarity and renewal

• Aligning leadership around shared vision and strategy

How These Pillars Work Together

These pillars are not separate offerings. They are interconnected ways of working that reflect how real systems change.

Across all pillars, our work is guided by:

• Boundary-spanning practice (bridging community, institutions, policy, and culture)

• Relational systems thinking

• Healing-informed leadership

• Alignment between values, systems, and lived reality

Engagement Formats

We work together through:

• Retainers (3, 6, or 12 months)

• Project-based engagements

• Strategy intensives or retreats

Each engagement is customized to fit your context, goals, and capacity.
