Wise Counsel
for Purposeful Leadership
Clarity for leaders who carry responsibility.
Welcome to Boulē Consulting
The Greek word Boulē means counsel—wisdom shaped through thoughtful deliberation. At Boulē Consulting, we believe strong leadership begins with clarity. We help leaders reflect, discern, and take their next steps with confidence and purpose.
Hi, I’m Jeff
I bring more than 25 years of nonprofit and leadership experience, including the past 16 years serving as Executive Director of the national nonprofit The Marriage Hub.
My passion is helping leaders and organizations navigate real-world challenges—drawing from experience with boards, succession planning, capital campaigns, sustainable fundraising, financial models, and the complex relational dynamics that shape leadership.
My approach is rooted in the belief that healthy organizations start with healthy leadership. I specialize in helping leaders and boards navigate the often-turbulent waters of real-world organizational challenges, moving beyond theory to implement practical, sustainable solutions.

Getting started usually begins with a simple conversation to understand your context, challenges, and goals. From there, we determine together whether counsel, coaching, or strategic work—or a combination—is the best next step.
