STRATEGIC PLANNING

CHARTING YOUR ORGANIZATION'S SUCCESS

​WHAT IS OFFERED

At Shaffer Coaching + Consulting, I partner with small and mid-size organizations to uncover opportunities, establish priorities, and create strategic plans that are both inspiring and achievable. My approach ensures that your plan is valuable, inclusive, and accessible—so it can truly guide day-to-day decision-making and long-term growth.

THE BENEFITS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING 

  • Alignment – Bring the board, leadership, and teams together around vision, mission, and goals.

  • Engagement – Integrate feedback from key stakeholders, employees, and partners to strengthen impact.

  • Clarity – Define where the organization is headed and the steps needed to get there.

  • Accountability – Build ownership into the process so progress is measured and sustained.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Strategic planning can feel complex and demanding.  I bring structure and clarity to the process, helping leaders focus on what matters most and move forward with confidence.

​​

What I Provide:

​

  • Mission and vision development

  • Capability analysis (surveys and interviews)

  • Prioritization, accountability, and action planning

  • Coaching for board leadership and the Executive Director/CEO on priorities, implementation, and capacity-building

  • Progress reports and summaries throughout the process so decisions are documented and accessible

  • A final strategic plan report that is clear, actionable, and easy to use

​

HOW WE APPROACH IT

​​

Every organization is unique. The methodology balances structure with flexibility—tailored to your context while keeping everyone aligned. This includes:

​​

  • Partnering with the board chair and Executive Director/CEO to set expectations and build alignment

  • Facilitating strategic planning sessions with the board and senior leadership

  • Offering customized training that supports the plan (e.g., communication, prioritization, team effectiveness, stakeholder relationships)

  • Providing coaching and consulting for senior leaders accountable for implementation

  • Hosting quarterly or bi-annual accountability sessions to track progress and sustain momentum

​​

My goal is to create a strategic plan that serves as more than a document—it becomes a practical guide and working tool that helps leaders stay aligned with their mission, vision, and goals.

I appreciated Janeen's approach to being attentive to what was important to us as leaders while challenging us when we wanted to stay in our comfort zones.  It opened up conversations that needed to be had.  The progress and summary reports helped us focus on our new goals.
