What we do

How we work

Typical engagements
Every engagement starts with a discovery call and a one-page scope note. You know what is included, how long it takes, and the fee before you commit.
| Engagement | How long | What you get | How pricing works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery call | 30 minutes | The real problem named, a recommendation on which kind of help fits, and one clear next step. | No cost. |
| Focused project | Usually 4 to 8 weeks | One defined piece of work: a market and positioning plan, a new offer with a test plan, a customer experience blueprint, a partner pipeline with outreach materials, a program outline, or a first set of AI workflows. | Fixed fee, set in the scope note before work begins. |
| Design and pilot | Usually 2 to 4 months, including the pilot | Program structure, participant and facilitator materials, a first group, and a revision plan based on what happened. | Fixed fee by phase: design, pilot, revise. |
| Fractional (embedded) | Ongoing, reviewed every quarter | Set hours inside your team each month on agreed priorities: the pipeline, a program, or the systems behind them, with regular check-ins. | Monthly fee, set by scope. |
| Professional learning | One session to a year-long series | Facilitated sessions, coaching, or induction support, with materials and follow-through built around the practice you want to see. | Per session or per series. See Professional Learning. |
Durations are typical ranges, not promises; the scope note sets the real timeline for your work. See an example scope note.
In their words
“Gina did not just consult, she built alongside us. She provided the business development framework and high-leverage assets we needed to go to market with confidence, and she translated our cultural mission into a clear, actionable strategic plan.”
“Gina has a gift for taking complex, heart-centered work and translating it into a clear market presence. She simplified our core offerings and built the tangible tools we needed to actually grow. The engagement felt structured yet fluid, and honored the Hawaiian values our organization is grounded in, like aloha and pilina.”
“Gina is an excellent thought partner and collaborator. She asks intelligent, insightful questions, assimilates large amounts of information quickly, and is extremely responsive, able to adjust her plans in response to realities on the ground. My colleagues and I have been consistently impressed with the quality, depth, and thoughtfulness of her work.”
“Dr. Wilt is one of the most impressive educational leaders and innovators I have ever met. She is a tremendous collaborator with a rare blend of deep pedagogical expertise and technical savvy. Gina takes incredible pride in the quality of her work, and partnering with her is both exhilarating and fun.”

Common questions
How engagements are shaped, and what to expect before anything is signed.
A project is one defined piece of work with agreed deliverables, a timeline, and a fixed fee. A fractional partnership puts us inside your team for set hours each month on agreed priorities, for a monthly fee, reviewed every quarter. Design and pilot sits in between: build a program or offer, test it with a first group, then refine it.
We name it up front. The scope note lists what we need from you: usually a few check-ins, access to the people who know the work, and one person who makes the final calls. We do the research, drafting, and building in between.
The deliverables named in your scope note: the materials, templates, plans, and systems we build, set up in your accounts and documented so your team can run and change them. Your agreement spells this out.
Tell us on the call. Sometimes the right first step is the funding case itself, such as a pilot plan or a proposal a funder can review. If the timing is not right, you still leave the call with a next step and a free tool you can use on your own.
Yes. The capabilities overview is a one-page PDF covering who we work with, the six services, three ways to work (including the build-for-you packages), Gina’s background, and how work starts. Request it here; it opens right away.
Nothing formal. A description of what you are trying to make possible, and what is getting in the way, is enough to start.
It depends on scope. We agree on a timeline before the work begins, and a design and pilot engagement includes time to test with a first group before a wider rollout.
Yes. Nonprofits and community organizations use all six services, most often program development, partner and funder outreach, and customer experience work for participants, families, and donors.
Yes. Many clients have not. We keep the scope small and specific at first, name who does what, and put decisions and materials in your hands as we go.
