Schedule a Work Support Consultation

Focused 90–120 minute working intensive | $275
Nonprofit & Community Rate | $240

For the one project that has been sitting on your list long enough to develop its own weather system.

A focused working intensive for one important project that is stuck, overdue, overwhelming, unclear, or becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

Bring the board packet, grant application, strategic plan, presentation, annual report, proposal, launch plan, complicated deliverable—or the project you have been avoiding for three weeks and which has now become A Situation.

We will clarify what needs to happen, break the project into workable pieces, make decisions, and use the session to actually move the work forward.

One project. One concentrated session. No ongoing commitment required.

Sometimes the whole workload is not the problem.

Sometimes it is one thing.

One proposal.

One board packet.

One presentation.

One grant.

One report.

One project that has been sitting quietly in the background while becoming increasingly less quiet.

You may know it matters.

You may know roughly what needs to happen.

You may have opened the document several times.

You may have created a task called “FINISH REPORT” as though capitalization would somehow provide the missing executive function.

And yet:

it is still stuck.

The Project Rescue Intensive is a concentrated 90–120 minute Mission & Momentum working session focused on moving one specific project from vague, avoided, tangled, or overwhelming toward clear and underway.

This is not a general productivity consultation.

We pick the project.

We figure out what is making it difficult.

Then we work on it.

Bring the actual project

This is a working session, not a conversation about what you should theoretically do later.

Depending on the project, you might bring:

• The draft
• Requirements or instructions
• Notes
• Deadlines
• Emails
• Meeting materials
• Project plan
• Grant guidelines
• Board agenda
• Presentation outline
• Research
• List of contributors
• Documents you have already started
• The assortment of files currently named things like FINAL_v3_ACTUALFINAL

You do not have to organize everything first.

Part of the rescue may be figuring out what all of those pieces are.

Projects that work particularly well

Board packets and board materials

Maybe you need to determine:

• What the board actually needs
• What should go into the executive director report
• Which materials belong in the packet
• What still needs input from someone else
• What can stop becoming a 14-page explanation of something that required three paragraphs

We can map the pieces, identify missing information, create the structure, and move the packet toward completion.

Grant applications and proposals

When a funding opportunity contains:

• Multiple narrative questions
• Different character limits
• Attachments
• Budgets
• Data requests
• Partner information
• A deadline that has become alarmingly specific

we can turn the application into a workable project rather than one enormous task called:

DO GRANT.

We can identify requirements, dependencies, sections, missing information, and the next actions needed to get it submitted.

Strategic plans

Especially when:

• You have a lot of notes but no structure
• The strategic-plan process generated 47 ideas and no priorities
• You know what the organization wants to accomplish but cannot turn it into a usable document
• You keep trying to make the plan simultaneously visionary, measurable, inspiring, realistic, funder-friendly, board-friendly, and somehow only four pages long

We can clarify the project, organize material, and identify the next concrete pieces.

Presentations

We can work on:

• What the presentation actually needs to accomplish
• Audience
• Structure
• Key messages
• What gets removed
• What goes on the slides versus what you say
• Breaking “make presentation” into actual tasks
• Getting from blank deck to something that exists

Annual reports and major reports

Useful when you have information scattered across:

• Emails
• Program reports
• spreadsheets
• meeting notes
• previous reports
• documents
• people's memories

and are trying to turn all of it into one coherent deliverable.

We can determine the structure, identify missing pieces, and move the draft forward.

Major proposals

For client proposals, partnership proposals, funding requests, program concepts, internal recommendations, or other high-stakes documents.

We can work through:

What are you proposing? Who needs to understand it? What decisions need to be made? What information is missing? What actually belongs in the document?

Complicated projects

The project does not need a formal name.

It might be:

• Implementing a new system
• Planning an event
• Designing a program
• Preparing for a retreat
• Creating a training
• Reworking a process
• Organizing a launch
• Planning an organizational transition
• Building something that has approximately twelve moving parts and no obvious first one

If you can point to one defined piece of work that needs to move, Project Rescue may be appropriate.

What we'll do during the intensive

The exact session depends on the project, but we may:

• Clarify what “done” actually means
• Identify the real deadline
• Separate requirements from optional improvements
• Gather and organize the pieces
• Identify missing information
• Determine what depends on someone else
• Break the project into smaller components
• Decide where to start
• Create an order of operations
• Work through decisions that have been blocking progress
• Draft or outline portions together
• Use body doubling while you complete a difficult section
• Identify what can be simplified
• Determine what can be delegated
• Create a realistic completion plan
• Establish next actions and checkpoints

And, importantly:

we try to move the project during the session.

You should not leave with twelve pages of advice and a new project called “implement Project Rescue recommendations.”

Why is this project stuck?

A project can stall for many reasons that have very little to do with laziness or motivation.

It may be:

Too big

The project exists in your brain as one enormous object rather than a series of actions.

Too vague

You cannot start because you are not actually sure what “start” means.

Too important

High stakes can make initiation harder rather than easier.

Too many decisions

Every step creates another choice.

Dependent on other people

You cannot tell what you can move until you separate your work from theirs.

Boring in an unusually determined way

Sometimes a required project is simply spectacularly uninteresting.

Emotionally loaded

The project might involve conflict, evaluation, money, visibility, organizational politics, or a decision you have been avoiding.

Competing with everything else

The project matters, but so do fourteen other things.

Project Rescue is about identifying what kind of stuck this is and creating an approach appropriate to the actual problem.

What you'll leave with

Depending on the project, you may leave with:

• A clearer project structure
• Defined completion criteria
• A prioritized sequence of tasks
• A partial draft or working outline
• A dependency list
• Delegation assignments
• A deadline map
• A next-action plan
• Progress made during the session
• A realistic path to completion

The goal is not necessarily to finish a six-week project in two hours.

The goal is to move from:

“I don't even know where to begin.”

to:

“I know exactly what happens next—and some of it is already done.”

Project Rescue vs. The Workload Reset

These two services solve different problems.

Choose The Workload Reset if:

Your problem is:

“There are too many things and I don't know what deserves my attention.”

We look across the workload, sort priorities, identify what matters, and create a short-term plan.

Choose Project Rescue if:

Your problem is:

“I know exactly which thing matters. I cannot get this particular thing moving.”

We go deep on one project.

Project Rescue vs. Ongoing Support

Project Rescue is a one-time intensive.

You do not need to enroll in ongoing Mission & Momentum support.

It can be useful if:

• You generally manage your workload well but one project has become stuck
• You want to experience Mission & Momentum before deciding about ongoing support
• You only need additional support around a specific deliverable
• You want concentrated help without a monthly commitment

If the project reveals a larger pattern of workload or executive-function friction, we can discuss ongoing options afterward.

There is no requirement to continue.

Neurodivergent-informed. Diagnosis not required.

Mission & Momentum is designed with different ways of thinking, processing, organizing, initiating, and working in mind.

A Project Rescue Intensive may be especially useful when ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, executive-function differences, perfectionism, working-memory overload, task initiation, ambiguity, or variable capacity are part of what is making the project difficult.

But:

You do not need a diagnosis.

You do not need to identify as neurodivergent.

You do not need to explain why the project has become difficult enough to warrant help.

If it is stuck and important, that is useful information.

Particular expertise in nonprofit and mission-driven projects

Project Rescue is available to professionals across industries, with particular expertise in nonprofit, community-based, mission-driven, and resource-constrained work.

That makes this service particularly well suited for projects such as:

• Board materials
• Grant applications
• Funder reports
• Program proposals
• Strategic plans
• Annual reports
• Community presentations
• Fundraising materials
• Program launches
• Executive transitions
• Board retreats
• Organizational planning

You will not have to spend the first half of the session explaining what a board packet is or why a grant application technically involves twelve people but somehow currently appears to belong entirely to you.

Standard Professional Rate

$275

Includes one focused 90–120 minute virtual Project Rescue Intensive.

Nonprofit & Community Rate

$240

Available to qualifying nonprofit and community-sector professionals.

You receive the same Project Rescue Intensive at a deliberately reduced rate intended to recognize the financial realities of mission-driven work.

What this service is not

Project Rescue provides practical, nonclinical professional work support.

It is not:

• Therapy or mental-health treatment
• ADHD or autism assessment or diagnosis
• Crisis support
• Medical or medication advice
• Legal advice
• Employment-law advice
• Formal disability-accommodation assessment
• A done-for-you writing or administrative service
• A guarantee that the entire project will be completed during the session

I can help you organize, think through, structure, initiate, and work on the project with you.

I am not secretly becoming your grant writer, attorney, therapist, executive assistant, or entire communications department for two hours.

Before your session

After purchase, you'll receive a short Project Rescue form asking:

• What project are we working on?
• What is the deadline?
• What needs to be true when the project is complete?
• What has made it difficult to move so far?
• Are other people involved?
• What would make the session feel successful?

You may also be asked to have relevant materials available during the session.

You do not need to clean everything up first.

Messy materials are acceptable.

Messy thinking is acceptable.

The project does not have to put on business casual before attending.
