Let’s be real, August moves a little differently.

For some, it’s slower. For others, it’s all back-to-school hustle. But no matter what field you’re in — nonprofit, startup, small business, or something in between — this can be a perfect time to reset before things pick up again.

Whether you’re leading projects, supporting your team, or figuring out your next step, August is a great time to:

  • Revisit your goals
  • Clear mental (and digital) clutter
  • Catch up on the stuff you usually put off
  • Prepare for the busy season on your own terms

You don’t need a full overhaul. Just a little space to think ahead and act with purpose.


Our 90-minute coaching sessions are designed to help professionals like you get clarity, create direction, and take action, without the pressure of a long-term commitment.

Whether you’re pivoting, planning, or just feeling stuck, let’s work through it together.
