I'm currently accepting new clients, both organizations and individuals.

I help people and organizations get unstuck on the work that matters. Together, we find clarity on what you actually want, what's actually in the way, and what you need to move forward.

In my experience, the obstacles to clarity and forward motion are often feelings, beliefs, or patterns that take some introspection to understand and move through. So my process often involves some inner work – to get to the effectiveness, we have to go through the feelings first.

Organizational Development & Fundraising

I work with mission-driven organizations who are committed to letting their missions actually drive their work – mostly small and startup nonprofits – on growth, strategy, and fundraising.

You could think of what I do as chief-of-staff-style support: I serve as thought partner, accountability friend, and occasional inner-work facilitator to help leadership pursue their mission with more clarity and less friction.

When needed, I provide more hands-on help with writing, systems, human-centered AI workflows, fundraising strategy, or something else. We can explore which of these might be helpful to you. Regardless, the foundation is always facilitation and deep listening, and the goal is for the client to need me less over time.

I'm also available to facilitate meetings, strategic planning processes, or other gatherings. I have experience facilitating for leadership teams, boards, organizers, and classrooms.

To set up a free exploratory call, email me at hello [at] leofstevenson.com or put time on my calendar.

"Leo is something of a secret weapon. He naturally becomes a trusted collaborator. He asks incisive questions that clarify the path and rolls up his sleeves to help make it happen."
– Milo North Burn, founder and lead teacher, Boundless Refuge

Coaching

I facilitate 1:1 sessions as part of Attention Copilot, coaching on focus, productivity, and a healthier, more grounded, more effective relationship to work. It's somewhere between executive coaching, emotional processing, and meditation integration. You can book a session with me here. For more info, pricing, etc, see attncopilot.com.
