Our Team

Why We Became TC

Transformation — change that is profound, radical, and sustainable; change that fundamentally alters the very nature of something.

We’re former non-profit co-founders, operators, and organizers who came together to create Transformation Collective to help people lead the transformative change they want to see in the world, in their organizations, and within themselves.

We have first-hand experience with how social impact organizations can find themselves replicating the very same power structures they are trying to dismantle. We specialize in supporting clients to lead with their values in key moments of transformation whether it is growing to respond to a new opportunity or effectively responding to a disruptive challenge.

We believe that our practices become our practice; together we will learn, experiment, and implement new practices as we work towards a future where social impact work is generative, healing, and transformative for everyone involved.
