Social determinants of health and racial disparities in health and housing outcomes present complex challenges to leaders whose purpose involves serving low-income populations. Tweaking long-standing strategies will not lead to much-needed transformational change. Yet the demands of just keeping the doors open make investing the required time and energy in creating real innovation and strong community partnerships a tall order.

John partners with leaders of organizations throughout the health and housing sectors to navigate new territory while enhancing their ability to sustain operations. Drawing on 20 years of developing and leading effective cross-sector partnerships and mission-driven teams, he offers a unique blend of coaching, consultation, and technical assistance focused on expanding the capacity to both transform and thrive.
