build the people practices your organization needs to grow.
Growing organizations don't always need a full-time Head of People.
Sometimes they need an experienced partner who can help leaders make better people decisions, build practical talent systems, and develop the leaders already on the team.
Alma provides fractional people partnership for founder-led organizations, growing teams, and churches navigating greater complexity.
growth changes the questions leaders have to answer.
As an organization grows, informal approaches to people and leadership eventually stop being enough.
You may be asking:
How do we consistently assess and develop our talent?
Who are our future leaders?
What should succession planning look like here?
How do we help managers become better leaders?
How should our leadership team approach performance and development?
You don't need more processes for the sake of having processes.
You need a people strategy that fits your organization and leaders who know how to use it.

A partner, not another layer of bureaucracy.
Every organization needs something different. Some clients need an ongoing fractional people partner who joins leadership conversations and helps shape their people strategy. Others need a focused engagement to build a talent review process, establish succession planning, or develop their leadership approach. And sometimes the most valuable thing I can provide is a thought partner for a founder or executive navigating a difficult people decision.
The work can include advising, building, facilitating, and coaching—but the goal is always the same.
Build practical systems. Develop confident leaders. Strengthen the organization.
who i work with
-
You've grown beyond informal people practices and need experienced HR leadership without immediately hiring a full-time Head of People.
-
You have good people, but you want a more intentional approach to talent, leadership development, and succession.
-
Your staff and organization are growing, and you're navigating the people and leadership challenges that come with greater complexity.
The context may be different, but the questions are often the same:
Who are we developing? How are we leading them? What happens next?
people strategy works best when leaders know how to lead it.
A new talent process doesn't change an organization by itself.
Leaders have to know how to have the conversation, give the feedback, make the decision, and follow through.
That's why coaching can be part of Alma's work with organizations.
I can advise the leadership team on the people strategy while coaching individual leaders through the situations they're navigating.
Strategy and leadership development don't have to be separate conversations.
